Just Us Girls and Time Out (two of my fave challenges) have joined together. "Birds" is the theme and I knew I had a great stamp set, Pure Joy, from Pinkfresh Studio that would fit the bill. Since it was a Pinkfresh Studio stamp set, I added a frame to the card to meet their March challenge: "Frames." Finally, I have another entry to The Flower Challenge with my square card. I've been keeping up with my #100DayProject, and although I used this stamp set when I participated with my first Create and Connect event, it's the first time I've used it on my own.
I used some Pinkfresh Studio inks to color the image with the accompanying stencil. Ellen Hutson's Essential Circles worked perfectly to create the frame. To keep the clean look of the card I kept it all white and decided not to add any embellishments.
I don't often think to create a shaker card, but this seemed liked a good design for one. I frequently struggle with these, but this one came together so easily I may try this again soon! The clear sequins and drops were in my stash, but I've never been good about labeling such things so I have no idea who the manufacturer is. The sentiment was created with Betterpress using Spellbinders A Little Message. It's always good to have another birthday card in my stash.
