For this week's fun technique to use Q-tips, I couldn't resist giving this one a try. Acrylic chalk paints in cream and pale pink were dabbed on with Q-tips. Made it into a shaker with the "blossoms" that fell from the tree.

What fun! Love the 'fallen petal' sequins.

Joanne, I love this awesome card and the effects you achieved from using the Q-tip technique! The shaker is fantastic and using the sequins as flowers falling from the tree is so clever! Love the card!

I was thinking that tree would work well...it certainly does! And turning it into a shaker was a genius idea, Joanne. Acrylic chalk paints are new to me.

Ohhhh! I love this! I just love dotted cards! I am going to have to give q-tips a try. I have used pencil erasers but not q-tips! Love the sweet colors together!
