Today's post is for The Friday Mashup Challenge this week to create a Shaker card and or with a Winter Scene. I have gone with both and used some different elements in my card that I have not used before. I made my own shaker from scratch using a large piece of dimensional foam. I cut the circle out with my Classic Circles Nestabilities and my Big Shot. I also used White Glossy cardstock that I embossed using Embossing folders. I saw a video by Kay Kalthoff and decided to give it a try, it creates a shiny embossed surface and I am very happy with the results.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely card! Love the 'scene' through the ornament :)
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love this.. The scene behind your shaker area is perfect! I love that you made a shimmery embossed area that adds such a nice touch. This is so fun! Thanks for joining us this week at the Friday Mashup.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, Fabulous shaker card mashup. Thanks for the tip about embossing on glossy card, I usually reserve mine for using rubbing alcohol and re inkers. I really like all the texture you've achieved and that sled silhouette stands out brilliantly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your card with us.
Cheers,
