Thanksgiving shaker

Hey crafty friends!

I told you all I had been making some Thanksgiving cards and I wanted to share one.  I LOVE making shaker cards and this one came out cute!  I even made a mistake and I LOVED the results!!!




Sorry bout the lighting, but this paper is just gorgeous!!


My cute shaker tree with leaves!


Okay, here was the "mistake".  I used a very spongy ink pad (colorbox chestnut) on a clear stamp and when I stamped on the paper it gave it a faded/rustic look...SO "fallish"  I LOVED how it came out!

Here's what I used to make the card:
Carts: Give a Hoot for tree.  I used my gypsy to arrange the size just so.
Paper: K&CO Pumpkin Pie, DCWV Harvest Gathering, Colorbok for solid colors.
Stamp: Inkadinkadoo
Misc: chestnut colorbox inking, leaves from paper studio, ribbon from my stash.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,
Michelle

Great card. I agree, the stamped sentiment looks like it was meant to be. Shakers are so much fun. Are the leaves paper?
