I made a card for my son, Sean, who has just got a NEW JOB and will be starting next week !! Woo Hoo !! He recently moved to the UK and has been looking for a job since September,,, what a relief !! PHEW !! :-) He is a Scientist and has a quality control post in a company which manufactures ingredients for drug and food manufacturers,,, all very technical and just what he wanted :-) We are so very proud of him :-)
This is him with his sister Amy at a recent family wedding party :-) Aww,, aren't they gorgeous :-)
Sean's favourite colour is blue so I kept it mostly Navy and I love the shaker cards I have been seeing everywhere using vellum envelopes and whatnot, so I decided to make a tag shaker. I used a Simon's Exclusive Falling Stars Stencil to sponge a design on a white die cut tag then stitched a vellum tag all around the edges. I then made a small slit behind the sentiment banner and dropped in a few die cut stars and sequins, I really LOVE how this has turned out and I hope Sean does too :-)
Thanks for looking and I would like to wish you all the very best of luck for 2014 :-) I have got off to a delicate start so I will be heading off back to bed for a siesta shortly ,,, hehe :-)

I really love your card! The color, the chevron, the vellum shaker tag, all very cool! And congratulations to your son! How impressive that he moved to the UK following his dream (apparently?) and stuck with it to see success! I was in England in July for 12 days and adored it! would live there in a heartbeat---best of luck to him!
What a gorgeous card! In my opinion you can never go wrong with stars ;)! Congrats and best wishes to your son for his new job!
Now that's something to celebrate! Love the blues & the vellum - perfectly masculine & very cheery! Thanks so much for playing with the shaker card challenge at Flourishes!
