Let's get right to it!
I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Let It Snow and Season's Greetings. I knew I just had to make a Shaker Card!!! Using Purple Embossing Powder I created my snowflake background. This particular powder has glitter in it.....sooooo sparkly! My shaker window was created using the Papertrey Ink Fabulous Frames die and Fun Foam. The easiest way to make one by far! The shaker is filled with purple and iridescent sequins and glitter in purples and whites. FUN! I added texture to the frame using the Snowflakes Embossing Folder by Darice.
My snowman was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut out. I had this awesome purple glitter paper in my stash. I die cut several of the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourishes and snipped them apart, adding the pieces everywhere. It gives it a nice blustery feel and you hardly notice the leaves. lol I also die cut Winter Wonderland using Sizzix Holiday Words dies. (thanks Carol)
Sakura Black Glaze Pen to accentuate the snowman's coal buttons, eyes, and smile. Sheer White Ribbon. On these hot summer days, I wish he would breathe down my neck hahaha
