On my card to make list..a guy Birthday card...a double challenge for inspiration: Watercooler Wednesday's Libby's trees' theme and Create with Connie and Mary's sketch challenge. I don't own alot of guy stamp sets..so went with my Lovely as a Tree stamp set and Happy Birthday sentiment from the retired Engraved Greetings set. Had to add a mini shaker and added some silver glimmer paper...which I'm not too sure is very *manly*...oh well.. Coloured the rhinestones with a sharpie and Voila!
Deets: All Stampin Up except for beads in shaker box
EDIT: Sweet....my card was chosen by the Watercooler Wednesday peeps for the Honorable Mention for last week's theme challenge. Totally made my day. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for dropping by and having a peek at my card.
Smiles,
Sheri :)

I love how the stamp is layered over the circle and shaker pieces! That adds so much interest to an already-great design! Thank you for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!
How clever you were to incorporate the trees in your card - I especially love the mini-shaker tree!
Wow! Love that you incorporated a shaker on this card! This card had such wonderful texture. My eye dances around taking in all the detail! Thanks for playing along with us at Create with Connie and Mary!
Very wonderful masculine card using a shaker and bling! Thanks for playing along with the sketch challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary!
Thanks so much Chris. Enjoyed working with Create with Connie and Mary's sketch challenge. :)
Thank you Mary for popping by. I have a slight addiction to shaker cards..LOL :)
Thank you Jenny for the blog love. I think I might remake as a Christmas card as the silver glimmer paper makes me think Christmas. :)
Thanks you Connie for dropping by. Looking forward to the next Create with Connie and Mary challenge. :)
I love how you combined the spotlight stamping, with making one of the 'spotlights' into a shaker! Brilliant & unique idea! Thanks for joining the Watercooler Wednesday challenge this week. ~Deborah
Hi Sheri, what a wonderful surprise you've created with your card. The stamping is superb, of course, and the way you've used the classic Lovely as a Tree, not just spotlighting sections of the grove of trees, but turning one of those spotlights into a shaker---brilliant! This is a card anyone would be thrilled to receive and happy to keep forever. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
Well my friend, you've outdone yourself on this one. Great combine of themes and sketches. Always loved the sentiment you chose and it sits this card really well.
Thanks for playing along at the Watercooler this week. Nice to have you back!
No worries on the man card front Miss Sheri. Real men can handle a bit of glittery silver and of course...they love to shake things up! {grin}
Brilliant combination of elements and fun to see shakers in miniature too.
Thanks for joining in with the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge gang yet again. Always fun/inspiring to see what you've created.
Thanks so much Deborah. At 3:30am..I couldn't remember the name of the technique..LOL
Looking forward to the next Watercooler Challenge. :)
Thank you so much Heidi! Definitely not the most "rugged" guy card...after I adhered the silver scallop circle..it wasn't coming off..LOL :)
Thanks so much Penny! I'm saving the card..baaahhhhh...after all that...decided it wasn't manly enough for the Birthday boy. ;)
Thank you Jean for dropping by and leaving me some blog love!! Love it real men can handle glitter!!! LOL..Looking forward to the next Watercooler challenge. :)
Great combination of both sketches! Thanks for playing along with my tree challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday!
Thanks so much Libby for the fabulous tree(s) theme!! Was nice to ink up the Lovely as a Tree set as it's been collecting dust. :)
Wow - so much going on here! I love the stamping across the panels and the shaker in one of the circles - so very clever! A great card. Thanks for joining us over at Create With Connie and Mary this week!
Thank you Joanne for popping by and the blog love. Was excited to be able to use the Create with Connie and Mary's sketch challenge. :)
