Double D - Get Ready for WINTER

Hello friends.  Playing along with the gals over at the Double D Challenge where they are looking for WINTER themed cards.

I was inspired by the photo on the bottom right with all the snowflakes, and from the sounds of it, my neck of the woods is going to be covered with lake effect snow starting Thursday night and lasting almost through all of next week...YIKES!!  But anyway, I made a shaker card using some different snowflake products to come up with this card...

I started with a white panel and stamped HA's Snowflake Background in Smokey Slate ink and then ink blended around the edges with residual ink from my turquoise blending brush.  I cut apart one of those clear envelopes and folded the edges to the back of the panel on the two sides and bottom and left the top open so I could fill it with clear sequins and some turquoise star sequins I've had for forever!  Then I sealed the top to the back and then adhered it to a top folding white card base.

I added a SSS Shimmer Snowflake die cut (actually two of them for a bit of dimension) that my sweet friend Michele cut out for me to the center of the card and then added my strip sentiment that was white embossed on black cs to the center of the snowflake.  I love making these kinds of shaker cards because there's nothing for the shaker bits to get caught up on and they move so much more freely.  A pretty quick and easy card to make and that's what I need at this point to get those last few done!

You can check out what the DT came up with for this mood board/challenge and all the cards already in the gallery right HERE.  This challenge is open till Sunday, Dec. 1st @ 8:00PM.  

And for all of you celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, I wish each and everyone of you a wonderful day with family and friends and more blessings than you can count!

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
