Altenew Pair-A-Flower Lavender

Hi,

So a few days ago on FB, Altenew asked:  Aside from sequins, what else can we use to create shaker card?  I've just harvested some Lavender and was letting them dried, so I thought why not make shaker card with it?

And here it is:

Instead of acetate, I used tulle on both side of the shaker, so it's sort of like a Lavender sachet but more mail friendly!  😀

For card panel I stamped Altenw Lavender Bud with distress inks and spritz with water to soften somewhat.  I used a round die to cut the card panel and card base to sandwich the tulle shaker element, on top I added Circle Embroidery Hoop die cut, and adorn with a couple Lavender sprigs which were stamped with distress inks with details painted in watercolors.  And you couldn't see it too clearly in the photo, but the sprigs are tied with Altenew Silky Lilac Metallic Thread.

Then I actually sew and made a Lavender sachet too.

My craft room is now filled with the Lavender scent!!  If you look closely, in my dish of dried lavender, there are some small & brighter ones, and some large & darker ones.  The brighter ones were harvested before the Lavender bloomed in June.  The darker ones were collected after it bloomed just a few days ago. 

Yesterday I shared a watercolor Lavender card.

So together I made three Lavender theme projects.
