After die cutting and stamping the images, I went old school and pulled out my markers and colored all my pieces.

This card got off track when I decided to turn my die cut window into a shaker card! It has been a while since I made one so I forgot how to do it right. : )

I die cut the pieces – the circle windows and the matching base piece and cut the acetate as well. After gluing down the 2 birds and the heart to my pink base, I placed foam around the edges to make the shaker. I was about to attach it all when I realized I needed to put foam in the middle, too, or I would just have sequins in the bottom! I was able to add the foam pieces and save the card. 

I then embossed the light purple background with a woodgrain folder and added it to the gray card base. 

The shaker piece was added next followed by the tree, birdhouse and the sentiment.
