Last Day to Shake it Up with Die Cut Divas

Hi everyone - my goodness, February is passing so quickly!! At Die Cut Divas today the end of month team is providing inspiration on the last day of our February Shaker Challenge. Card one below is my part of that inspiration post; details & a bonus card follow only here.

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White;

Park Lane A2 card; Recollections yellow;

Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wishes Petite

Stamps - Hero Arts Togetherness Flower Bouquet

Dies - Hero Arts Secret Garden Fancy Die

Other - Recollections Gemstone shaker mix;

Kat Scrappiness A2 Full Front Shaker Card Pockets

Our fabulous sponsor is Hero Arts, an inspiration to the crafting community! They've donated a $25 credit to their online store for our randomly drawn challenge winner - thanks Hero Arts!!

I die cut the cover plate, including the free standing flowers in the center. Took an A2 purple panel from LF's Watercolor Wishes and formed the shaker pouch with a mix from Michael's. Adhered the cover plate and the other flowers over top, then glued to an A2 card. Stamped and fussy cut a sentiment then added to the card with foam tape. Glued some of the shaker mix gemstones to the flower centers for some extra interest - done!

Ready for a bonus? This time I've watercolored a gorgeous cover plate & made a shaker!

Supplies: Paper - TH Distress Watercolor; Neenah Solar White;

Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer Mist

The process was same as for card one, except on the bonus I used watercolor paper & painted the scene with various liquids. Once dry I gave it a liberal overall spritz with shimmer mist - so pretty in real life!!

I'll add card one to Darnell's February NBUS Challenge #71 since the flower cover plate is getting first play here. I'll add the bonus card to the February Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero Challenge where they're doing floral projects.

Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you in the February Diva gallery by 9pm Pacific time today!!
