Now I have to tell you, the making of this card was an unforgettable experience!! It was one goof after another. OY VEY!! Thank goodness for dies! I took a big ol' ugly card and die cut the best part with my Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Photo Frames die and things began to look better. I turned it into a shaker filled with PPP Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, 4mm & 6mm Pink Blush Sequins, tiny wooden stars, & punched card stock pieces. The teeny stamped stars are DeNami and the polka dots by Hero Arts.
Then came the stamping of the sentiment (Mama Elephant). It was three times, no...four...heck maybe even five! The two little banners were die cut with a PPP Stitched Labels die. Done, finally after what seemed like an eternity!!!
Have a great day! ~Lisa

This just goes to prove that there is beauty in everything! From your ugly card (and I'm sure it was anything but) comes this gorgeous creation. Well done!
Hard to imagine the beautiful pink stars & dots were an ugly card because they look beautiful here! I love the double flags & the shaker mix is fabulous! At least you ended up with a great card, Lisa!
Can't imagine any part of this gorgeous design started out with anything ugly. This is so very pretty with all the pinks and stars. Love the addition of the wooden ones. And all the mix in your shaker looks fantastic!
