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!

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!!

Both so bright and happy!
Pretty set of shaker cards, Linda! So bright and cheerful.
Two terrific spring shakers, Linda!
Each card is beautiful and special in its own way.
Such pretty cards and the shaker element makes them even more special xx
Simply sensational shaker card inspirations.
Great cards! You could enter them separately because they’re both so different even though they’re both cover plate die cuts. How cool that you can use a cover plate to get such different effects: one colour vs hand coloured; adding a frame vs no frame; fussy cut sentiment vs block cut.
Thanks for playing along with the Stay Crafty Challenge! 🩷
I don’t own a cover plate but now I want one, as I love making shaker cards but haven’t done so in a while. Both cards are stunning. Great work on that watercoloring.
These colors make me happy - very impactful use of the cover plates!
Both of your shaker cards are stunning, I love the cover panel dies you've used! Great coloring on the second card. Thank you for Staying Crafty With a Blog Named Hero!
You've provided lots of shaker inspiration! These are great! Maybe I'll make one now as it's been a long time and they really are fun.
