Jar of Flowers Shaker Surprise Gatefold Card

Today's card is similar in design to the In Color - Jar of Flowers cards in my last post, but with a couple fun twists.  

Here's the card front.  If you look closely you might notice that I used one of the Mason Jar Shaker Domes, and it is filled with flower seeds!

When you open the card front, two surprises are revealed - one is that there is a slider piece that pulls out so that the seeds can be removed without destroying the card, and the other is that there is a gatefold inside the card:

Here's a closer view of the gatefold panels.  I used the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Paper on this, along with the 2020-22 In Color Designer Series Paper, and Sunflower die cuts.

Here's the gatefold open:

The paper on either side is homemade designer series paper, created by pressing wildflowers between sheets of watercolor paper in the Big Shot (I used some wildflowers from my garden -- California Poppies, Scarlet Pimpernel, and more . . . ).  The borders were created with the Ornate Borders Dies.

Here are a couple closer views of the sliding mechanism opening to reveal the seed compartment:
