My card features dies from Kat Scrappiness and Spellbinders. I cut the trees using my Silhouette Portrait. The embossing is Pretty Plaid by FSJ.
I think shaker cards are so pretty but I'm not super fond of the dimension they add. If you know me, then you now I appreciate cards that will mail with only 1 stamp. This one is nearly that, but not quite. I admit it was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest and I adapted it to the sketch.
I cut a panel and blended on Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink and using a stamp from a Christmas stamp set from Simon Says stamp I stamped the dots with Unicorn White ink by Hero Arts. The shaker element is only about 3 card stock depths glued together, if that makes sense.
Please join us at TMS for this week's challenge. I'm sure you'll love working with this sketch.
4 Encouraging Thoughts:
This is gorgeous - I love all the white with the beautiful winter scene, and I always love an embossed background, one of my go-to techniques! I need to figure out how to make flatter shaker cards because I ended up paying extra postage for a few of my Christmas cards this year.
Melissa this is a beautiful shaker. I know what you mean about the extra dimension, but I tend to give them to my "special" people who get them hand delivered and not mailed. Not that it helps, but otherwise I have put many of my cards in padded envelopes and paid the fortune to mail them/protect them. Have a Merry Christmas!
