I have made a number of cards using the flowers and leaves, so I've decided to go nautical with my latest creation, here it is

I stamped my little boat and fussy cut, using the co-ordinating framelits to create the ocean, and for that WOW factor created a Life Bouy using Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine.  Then I went a step further and added the shaker element... there was a slight cataosrophy during this process.... I knocked the sequin container, I don't think any more needs to be said!

UPDATE: Lots of people have been asking how I created the outer loops, I folded the bakers twine and tied a knot, then measured around and repeated, then I used a glue dot to attach and was able to tuck the twine around the edge of the shaker underneath - here is a photo so you can get a visual:

Masculine cards don't come naturally for me, they are always a challenge, this one could be used for a variety of occasions - I'm going to stamp on the inside of the card when I decide on what the occasion is.  I am really happy with this colour combination too!
