Shaken not Stirred !

Impression Obsession posted a challenge to do a shaker card. I hadn't planned on doing this challenge because it is way out of my wheelhouse, and I didn't think I had any stamps that would work for this. It kind of bothered me not to do this challenge, as I've done their challenges pretty consistantly, and it is a "challenge" after all. So I dug through my stamps and made this Autumn themed card.

I always think of shaker cards as being fun and child-friendly, yet mine looks like a picture on a Grandmother's wall. : )
The country scene is IO stamp F1730 Country House, which I painted with Twinkling H2Os. I also painted some white cardstock with Twinks in various colours and punched oak leaves out to make the leaves for inside the window. The frame is cut with Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight out of some textured copper coloured paper. I  smeared (for lack of a better word), Versamark around the edges of the patterned paper and embossed it with bronze Utee. I don't have any of the cool shaker card products that IO sells, so I had to do this the hard way with foam tape and transparency. I may add a sentiment later, when I decide what to use this for.
I haven't spent my IO winnings from the last challenge yet. IO has a mind boggling amount of wonderful stamps, and maybe I need to choose something a little more playful!
Here's the IO challenge : http://mitrafriant.typepad.com/impression_obsession_news/2013/07/whats-shakin-challenge.html
