I made this card for two challenges. The first challenge is this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge. Pat is our hostess and she has chosen "Let's Get Moving" for our theme. Normally, I love to make cards with moving parts, but my mojo walked out on me, sadly.
The 2nd challenge is for this week's Featured Stamper challenge. Julie is our hostess and she has chosen Patti Dolan (pspapercrafts) to feature today. As soon as I saw this fabulous card of Patti's: Serene Thinking Of You Card by pspapercrafts at Splitcoaststampers I was off and running. Patti's card design reminded me of this daisy frame die I have that would work perfectly for a shaker card which fits the "Let's Get Moving" theme. Yay!
The daisy die cuts into your paper, then you have to trim around it to be the size you want. The background is a gelli plate piece I did a while ago. I created the shaker using acetate and 3M foam tape, added copper and silver seed beads and copper and teal sequins, then sealed up the card. Added a teal glitter sentiment die and the card is completed.
Congratulations Patti on being this week's featured stamper. Your gallery is beautiful and your beautiful card helped me make a card for another challenge too which I very much appreciate.
Thank you Julie and Pat for this week's great challenges and thank you for looking. ~Karen.

Karen, I don't know why you think your mojo is gone, this is a beauty. I love the daisy framing that beautiful bg. And the shaker is perfect for this Teapot challenge. Using white for the framing perfectly sets off the flower, bg and shaker bits. Beautiful!

I think a lot of us are struggling with mojo right now, but there's no sign of it missing here. A shaker card was a great idea for adding movement. What a beautiful daisy die, it looks so crisp and fresh against your gorgeous gel print background.
