I loved the Easter Blend and had to make a fun Easter Card Shaker. These images are from Polka Dot Orchard, a new company, check her out on Etsy.

I started by cutting out the inner frame around the girl's head so that the background could be a shaker! I also cut out the face and put a piece of card stock behind her. I made my own face for this little lady because I had a picture in my mind of what I wanted her to look like. So when I printed the digi I just cut out the center of the face and did my own!

I added the Easter Blend as the background of her "Easter Photo" and accented it with purple corners then taped it to the flower panel and base. I added this cute sentiment that comes with the Polka Dot Orchard Digi set and some darling daisy dies from The Stamp Doctor.

 I finished my card with some glossy accents to highlight my girl's cheeks and the bunny ears and glued some sequins from the blend to the center of the flowers!
