On Your Big Day Shaker Card

It has officially turned HOT at my house.  It is so hot I put on a swimsuit (plus cover-up for the front yard) to water plants because I jump in the pool every few minutes while watering them!  I'm paying for planting so many flowers but in the spring it seemed like a good idea.  ha-ha  Before plant watering time though, I ventured in my cool craft cave to make another entry for the Art Impressions "Shaker Card" challenge.  :)  The first  photo shows my shaker card flat so you can see the pink, silver and black sequins.  I used a cute elephant stamp set by Art Impressions.  The patterned paper is by DCWV.  The square stitched postage stamp die can be found here.   I used it to cut the shaker opening and then again in patterned paper to put on the bottom piece (lining it up with the shaker "window.")  The celebrate word die is by Crafter's Companion and was cut out of pink fun foam.

This is one of those cards which is prettier in person than in the photographs.  (Does that ever happen to you?)  :)  Anyway my "shaking" elephant is going to be joining the following challenges:
