Sequin CAS for Bev!

Well we made it to Friday!

Ardyth and Darnell are holding a linky Birthday party for the lovely Bev. I am a little late to the party but I have a card today that I thought Bev would find fun! So Happy Belated Birthday Bev. Her blog Happy Dance is full of inspiration and lots of fun and if you don't know Bev I urge you to pop over and be inspired!

I have a 'cheats' version of a shaker card to share with you for Bev. I started out to make a shaker card but totally forgot that I needed acetate and came up with the idea of gluing the sequins down using glossy accents. It really does work. I have turned it upside down, have put it in an envelope and given it a good old shake and they all just stay there!!



I used Wink of Stella on the card behind the sequins but it didn't show up in the photo above so I have taken another one.I hope you can see the sparkle here!



I am entering this into the Autumn challenge at Clearly Besotted Stamps and I got the idea for this when I saw this card from DT member and the Queen of CAS Aimes! The die cut is 'Autumn Flowers' from Clearly Besotted Stamps

I had been thinking about this card for a few days as I wanted to enter the 'sequin celebration' challenge at CAS on Sunday with a shaker card but wanted to make it as CAS as I could. White sequins and white textured card helped me create this! I am going to use my 'cheats' shaker card again....I am thinking this would be good for a Xmas card and can see another entry to Festive Friday on the way....if time allows!

I hope you like my card and are enjoying your party!

    What a great sulution to glue them down with the all purpose-so-it-seems Glossy Accents! I find the blue-green one is my fav, but they are both beautiful! Have a great friday!

    Ahhh...so clever Sandie! Love the shimmer and the sequins. Super gorgeous idea. I'd be doing that again as well. It is gorgeous. Bev will love it.

    A brilliant idea to make a faux shaker card! The good thing about this solution is that the sequins stay where you want them to be! Very delicate and elegant!

    Hi Sandie. Lover your "cheater" shaker card. The CAS design really highlights your gorgeous maple leaf die-cut .. and love the irridescent shine of the sequins --- so, so pretty!! Loll xx

    I thought this was a shaker card so I laughed when I read that you had 'cheated'. It looks great! Yes, I find that Wink of Stella does not photograph well ( in fact have the problem with most glittter). This is such a versatile idea it would be lovely to see you do a Christmas version.

    This is genius, Sandie! I've never seen this done before and I love it. I especially love how you've done it in white with the maple leaf and WOS!! So yummy and CAS!! Thank you for joining the party for Bev!! Hugs, Darnell

    Wow! I love it totally. We see so many autumn cards but mostly in the colours of red, yellow or orange. Its so refreshing to see an autumn card with soft , muted colours. And I love the texture of your card panel. And a great idea to stick down those sequins ;) love it! Beautiful!

    Awesome - a 'cheats' version of a shaker! Clever, eye-catching and ultra-fabulous! And your decision to use a maple leaf has me smiling...I'm 'such' a Canadian *grin*

    Sandie, I'm sorry I'm so late with this. And what a beautiful card!!! I just love all the softness, and subtleness of this. The shine, the sequins, the texture of the paper - it's just gorgeous! And I love the idea of a "faux" shaker; totally brilliant. Thank you so very, very much for celebrating my birthday with me; it touches my heart to the core. You're a gem. Bev
