Poppy Shaker card with Hero Arts

Dawn here to share my card for the Shaker Challenge.  

This month our lovely sponsor at Die Cut Diva is none other than the amazing Hero Arts team.  

When I first started stamping most of my purchases were from Hero Arts.  I have A LOT of their older stamps and dies.  And today is highlighting one I got a year or so ago. Floral Poppy and it's coordinating die

I stamped and embossed the poppy stamp and used some watercolour paint pens to add the colours.  I die cut it with the matching die.  I chose some pretty patterned paper for the background and used a couple of dies from a Cottage Cutz oval die set to cut the aperture and the matching gold frame.  I used some 3D tape and added the panel over some pink sequins.  I stamped a very old Hero Arts sentiment from All Occasions stamp set before adding the poppy.

I'm not a great fan of shaker cards so don't make them that often.  But quite happy with the results of this one. 

Do come and join us for this month's challenge at Die Cut Divas.... just remember to use your die cutting machine to die cut/emboss something on your project.
