Good afternoon everyone. I just finished up a card for my GD who will be 6 tomorrow. The card was inspired by her picture that she titled, If Dinosaurs Came Back, and was entered by her Art teacher in our State Fair in NC. Each school was able to choose one student from grades Kindergarten-through 5th. Amelia's artwork was chosen from her Kindergarten class.
I used SU DSP Dinoroar and chose SU Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, and Pool Party as the coordinating colors. Since I did not have the stamps set or matching dies for this paper, I cut the Palm Tree and Dinosaur with my Cricut. The outside sentiment is by MFT Bitty Birthday Wishes which I stamped in Old Olive and the inside with the MFT Big Birthday Sentiments also in Old Olive cut with MFT's Stitched Sentiment Strips.
I did decide to make this a shaker card, although it was not my original plan. Although I'm not happy that the red chunky glitter stuck to the front not allowing the sequine mix to show, I'm sure my GD will not mind. The shaker was made using MFT's Rectangle Shaker Window and Frame Die-namic matching Shaker windows. Does anyone know how to prevent the static problem with glitter in a plastic shaker?
I didn't get this card finished to link to the Seize the Birthday "For the Kids" but I will enter it in the general birthday challenge.
Have a great Thursday and go do something you LOVE! I have a very messy desk to clean up, so no LOVE on this end!
Blessings,
Bernie

What a lovely way to celebrate a birthday with a card that was inspired by your GD. What a proud grandmother you must be, and so lucky to have a crafty GD. Thanks so much for sharing this story and card with us at Seize the Birthday.
