I made a card using some gorgeous new shimmery Rose Gold Beeswax Polish and a Drawn Hearts Stencil for the background and also used a fabulous new Stacked Hearts and Stitched Rectangle Dies to make a faux shaker.
I was intending to make a proper shaker, but then realised that I hadn't left enough room around the edges so I faked it and simply glued a few sequins behind the hearts, well, most of us have to fake it sometimes don't we,,,, stick sequins on I mean!! tut ;-)
and I finished the inside, I didn't want to waste all of those lovely left over hearts so I used a few of them :-)
Thanks for looking!
So now it's YOUR turn to get creating! Although we do accept all creations, this challenge is specifically geared to mixed media/artsy style, so if you have never tried it then maybe you should give it a go, it really is a lot of fun to try something new :-)

I LOVE your sweet card Lols!! If you hadn't said anything I would have been convinced it was a real shaker. All the lovely layers and rippled edges look brilliant! I like the pink wax you've used too in the background. Thank-you for your lovely welcome and for all your help with my post today too! Nicola x
Gorgeous card, Lorraine, love the distressed edges, the heart shakers, and the overall design! Wonderful creative card.

This is really lovely Lols, your fake shaker looks fab and love how you have finished the inside....I really need to start doing that with cards.
Hope you had a nice weekend ?

You made me giggle when you admitted to faking the shaker...I love this card and upon first look I never would have guessed the trick! You have layered up the different pieces so nicely! Thanks for sharing...definitely inspired to try using different dies to make the shaker cut outs.
Stunning card! I love evry little detail, including the colours, the distressed edge and the sequins!!!

I love the arrangement of hearts on the inner panel and the mix of colors. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas.
Lols, Lols! I love how you make your cards beautiful on the outside AND on the inside! And this shaker card truly is stunning. I like how you left some of the hearts filled in and the distressed edges add such a nice detail! Kudos to another clever and stunning project!

awesome card! Love those frayed edges-and the way you "faked" the shaker thing:):)
Oh both so pretty!! Thanks for linking up to our February challenge at Die Cut Divas.
Love how you have popped alternate colours back into the apetures of some of the hearts, and the gorgeous shabby chic and distressed feel.
