I have had this concept of a shaker card made from a recycled plastic camera lens cap pkg., stewing in my head for quite some time. This sweet design of Darlene's helped me to pull it all together finally. Invitation for Coffee by akronstamperdpk at Splitcoaststampers
Things I changed...
Stamp set.
Added piercing with smaller pearls.
Different shade of yellow and extra colors.
Embossing.
Enlarged to a 6x6 card.
I left the sentiment blank so I can stamp it later to fit the moment.

I love what you created with Darlene's fun coffee invite card. Love that you kept the shade, made it lighter and monochromatic too. Beautifuly done. Never did a shaker card before, looks so neat. TFS

What a great idea using the plastic from the camera lens cap. It makes you think not to throw anything away. Anyhow, nicely done with the shaker card and those colors are just so pretty!
