Cherry Blossom Shaker Card | Simon Says Stamp

Hello, again my friends!

Happy you have joined me for today's beautiful Cherry Blossom Shaker Card. This card features the new SWEET GARDEN CHERRY TREE Frame Die from the All the Feels Release from Simon Says Stamp.

Before I tell you how this came together, let me tell you a secret... sometimes when I don't have time to color perfectly, I add glitter! Yes, glitter is your friend, not only does it add that extra sparkle, but it also covers up any imperfections in your coloring. Remember that the next time you aren't crazy about how you colored😉 If you want to see a little video clip I shared on Instagram click HERE.

CARD RECIPE

 (All ingredients linked below in the supply list)

• Die-cut two or three layers of the SWEET GARDEN CHERRY TREE Frame Die. 
• To one of the frames, color in the flowers and the stem using Copic or other markers. I used a dark pink in the center and then blended it out with two lighter shades of pink leaving the outer petals white. 
• Next, I used a red fine tip sharpie to add some red dots to the center. 
• Add a thin layer of glue to the top of each flower and sprinkle on glitter. Shake excess off.
• Glue the layers together and add a piece of acetate behind the frame. 
• Add thin strips of foam tape along the outer edge. 
• Set aside to work on the background.

• Using distress oxide inks blend out the sky (see supplies linked below for all the colors used).
• Add your sequin bits to the center of the panel.
• Adhere the cherry blossom frame to the background enclosing in the shaker pieces.
• Attach to a card base.
• Embellish the flowers by adding a jewel to the center of a small sequin to the center.
• Add a sentiment. This hello comes from the SSS HELLO BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS Wafer Dies that was die-cut 3 times, stacked, and glued together.

How pretty does that look? I just love the results and the fact that it took me no time to color the flowers. 

I hope you were inspired by this Cherry Blossom Shaker Card. Thank you Simon Says Stamp for sending me this beautiful die to play with.
