Bridal Shower Card for a Macaron Baker

This card was made for a niece who will soon be married.  She is an excellent macaron baker. (Macarons are delicate, light French cookies with a sweet cream filling.)  I thought it would be fun to make the bride-to-be a shower card using my cute (Neat & Tangled) Paris stamp set because it has macaron cookie images.  I decided that I wanted the card to have a shaker element...gosh I do love shaker cards!  I began this card by cutting a piece of white card stock slightly smaller than the pink card blank.  I used the House Mart brand of Lucky Money rub on gold to apply the Congratulations! onto the top of the white blank card. Then I stamped the macarons on different colored card stock before I cut out just the top macaron,  Next I used a white gel pen to color in the cream filling.  After the 'cream filings' were dry I placed the macarons and some heart confetti into a Heiko cello bag (available at HM BFC). The shaker bag was then taped shut and double stick tape was used to adhere it to the card blank. 

Next the sweet girl image was stamped, colored with Copic pens and fussy cut (without the Eiffel Tower). One of the double macarons was stamped on pink card stock and the white gel pen used on the bottom cookie.  After cutting off the top macron other colored cookies were glued to the stack before the four macaron stack was glued to the girl's head.  A piece of lace was glued onto the head of the bride for the veil, sparkle gel paint was added to her dress and a pink sparkle enamel sticker heart was applied to her dress.

As usual, I spent lots of time just shaking this card.  It's fun to see where the macarons will land. LOL!  I hope that the bride-to-be will be amused by this card. I think it turned out sweet and charming just like the bride.  Start a 'movement' to shake up the ordinary ho-hum card...make a shaker card today!

P.S.  The gold rub-on 'Congratulations!" was from the graduation set.  I plan to use the Wedding rub-ons to decorate the envelope for the shower card.
