Floral Shaker Cards for Summer - Creative Embellishments and Buttons Galore


Floral Shaker Cards Straight From The Garden

I'm sharing shaker cards created for the August challenge at Creative Embellishments. These cards are blooming with the colors of a beautiful garden in August. 

Below is the image for the challenge.  Let the image inspire you to create any project you want but you must use a product from Creative Embellishments.  

 First Card  
I used some newly released designs to create my floral shaker.  Here are the chipboard pieces used on this card:

I painted the chipboard with various layers of acrylic paint - starting with white/light ivory.  I prefer the white/ivory as a base coat when I want the final chipboard project to be lighter or pastel.  

The stippled effect on the chipboard pieces was caused by  dabbing paint with a dry sea sponge.  





The magic of a shaker card happens when the shaker mix is added.  With that in mind, I picked my Creative Embellishments chipboard and shaker mix from  28 Lilac Lane / Buttons Galore and More

My paper choice for this card is from Stamperia - Lilac Flowers.  It's a dreamy 12x12 floral collection with all the beautiful purple flowers and butterflies straight from the storybook garden.

Second Card  
I used some newly released designed to create the second floral shaker inspired by the August Challenge at Creative Embellishments.  


I used 28 Lilac Lane's WISTERIA HUES Sequin Mix on this card as well.  It's just a gorgeous mix of greens and purples with the prefect touch of  rose pink.
