Shake your...Steam Punk!

 

Ready for a fabulous blog-hop?

There's a whole lot of shakin' going on...

Paulina is hosting a shaker-card link-up event over on Pretty Pink Posh.

There's a video tutorial, lots of inspiration and prizes!

The guidelines are listed on the Pretty Pink Posh site. You have until midnight, Monday April 28th, to create your shaker and link it up.

My youngest son's birthday is coming up and he is studying mechanical engineering with the Royal Military College (Canada's version of West-Point). 

I combined sequins and steam-punk for his card. An obvious combination!???

First the card design, from Freshly Made Sketches:

Then paper and stickers from Paper Wishes:

 Along with assorted sequins, brads, copper ink and a silver pen.

Here's the inside:

 I'll add the birthday greeting, too. He turns 19 this year, which is a big deal in Ontario.

Go check out the sequin shaker blog hop! There are some amazing cards over there already.

Happy crafting (and shaking!),

Caroline
