A Bagful of Love and Best Wishes

 This afternoon I have finally completed my card for 
I have made this for our daughters 30th birthday next month and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  
From my stash of stamped images I have this 'lolly bag' and immediately thought it would make a great shaker card. I cut the center from the image and used the cellophane packaging from a stamp set to gather up and create the bag so it's not flat. Then I cut a slit above the bow and inserted some more cellophane to create the edge of the bag. I stamped Best Wishes on the pale green backing panel (to run with the idea of a bagful of love and best wishes) and sandwiched the top panels together with some confetti hearts inside. Then I mounted that onto a darker green base and onto a white card. Finished off the card with a computer generated sentiment and tag attached to a ribbon bow.
Thanks for taking a peek Robyn
