Wedding Shaker Card

Good evening!
Well I'm glad that I did manage to do a little crafting tonight......I just don't feel like I have been at all productive this week! So here is what I've come up with......


 First of all, I apologise for the rubbish photos...the light is bad and my camera is still broken! :( But the card is pretty! :) I have had these LOTV cute squares for ages and only ever used one from the pack so I thought it would be nice to get them out and dust them off! I simply cut it into a circle and added the shaker circle with silver Flowersoft (something else I rarely use!) and a couple of doves. I then cut out the centre of a doily I got this week off ebay and used that to mount the shaker part to the card. It was a clever way of not having to cut the card or try covering it up on the back! I finished by using my corner punch and adding 2 hearts on the inside of the card, that also show through to the front. The lace was from offcuts from the local haberdashery. Oh and I chalked the doily in pink :)
I'm entering this into the following challenges......

Hope you like! :)
