I played with a stamp called Butterfly on Eggs, but this one happens to be the digital version. I love digis, don't get me wrong, there's still nothing quite like the feeling of a stamp block in your hand, but digis give you a versatility that you just don't {necessarily} get with stamps. I printed this butterfly but before I did, I flipped it. The stamp will have the butterfly body facing the left rather than the right. I knew that I wanted to create a shaker card and was going to incorporate the egg images but I just couldn't wrap my mind around it. So this is what I came up with.
I love the earth tones against the stark white elements. I also love the sepia tones of the butterfly. Ta da - here's my shaker card. I filled it with half back pearls, half back rhinestones and sequins. I also picked up this jar of flowers on clearance at Michael's that had that cool hairpin in it. I added the twine and glued it on.
Then shake it a bit to reveal it's message! Cool right? I love love love this! Please head on over to the TMS blog and join us!
