Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit Blog Hop and giveaway

Hello!
Today I am part of a blog hop to show off the wonders of the Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit. You should have arrived from Lorraine Aquilina's fabulous blog. If not, head to the Simon blog to start at the beginning.
This month's kit is a beauty and my card today uses a bit of almost everything in the kit. I used a couple of the die cut journaling cards to create a shaker card, adding the Painted Hello die cut, a stamped sentiment, some of the embroidery floss and some stitching.

My shaker is filled with my Champagne Shaker Selection.
