Thank you… now on to our hop!

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, as it so happens I'm the first stop when you are hopping across Canada, East Coast to West. If you came from Kristine's blog then you are in the right place!

For my project I decided to use Grateful Hearts paper and the coordinating Stamp set.  I have fallen in love with Shaker Cards, and decided that I would use the heart confetti thin cut to create extra pieces for inside the shaker.  I used Pomegranate and Sapphire cardstock for this, and pulled some out to add embellishment for on the card.  I used the Gold sequins for the inside of the shaker as well.The outer ring for the shaker is also Pomegranate and the sentiment is stamped in the same color.  I also utilized the zip strip from the pattern paper.  The butterfly is colored with Golden Yellow and Marigold Shinhan Alcohol Markers. To finish off the sentiment, I dove tailed to create a banner and added some doodles.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Sheena.
