Evangeline Floating Square..

Hello friends and visitors, sorry been missing for a while, trying to finish my projects for our Granddaughter`s Wedding..
Sharing my DT card from Poppystamps blog

I thought this "Evangeline Floating Square" from Poppystamps, perfect for a shaker card.. Mine does not shake!!!.

For the shaker part I have used viol material  with these beautiful sequins from Birchpress Designs.. http://birchpressdesign.com/Festival-of-Lights-Premium.html   such pretty colours and lovely mix.. they are perfect colour match for  my no shred glitter card.

These are the dies I used to create my shaker part.

Mesh doubled ..held in place with 3d foam tape, left open at the top, to sandwich sequins, this I then sealed  more tape..

My none shaker square  filled with pretty sequins and decorated on the outside 4"x 4",

I have used an embossing folder from my stash, red ribbon with Poppystamps "Merry Christmas Banner" die along the top. Finished card  61/2" x 61/2"
