Fruit Punch Shaker Card ~ Double D Challenge

I'm thrilled to be joining the Double D Challenge team this year!  Darlene and Diane are incredible design team leaders on their own but together, they make a marvelous team.  They're kind, encouraging and always inspiring.   

Let's celebrate the new year with a toast of "Fruit Punch" to all the hopes and possibilities that the new year brings.  As a bonus, they want to see you use those poor neglected punches you have hiding somewhere in your craft room.


I wanted to create a shaker card using some watermelon colored sequins that I've had sitting in my stash for a while now.  The sequins and shaker Mason jar was the perfect jumping point for this card.  I used a Lawn Fawn Quilted Backdrop for the base and the tiny flower is the "punch" portion of this card.



The watermelon slices are from Spellbinders Die D-Lites Fruit Salad.  I also added a little sprig of greens using one of the dies from their Large Die of the Month Kit.  


The "hello" sentiment is stamped and die cut using Elizabeth Craft Designs Just Because Sentiments.

Here is the prize that you could win:


I hope you'll join the fun and play along at the Double D Challenges.

Thanks for stopping by!
