I had planned on making a shaker card, but then I forgot to put in the "shakes" before adhering the frame. But if asked I will say this card turned out exactly as planned ... that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
 |
| The front of the card is a piece of acetate. On the inside is the image of the Christmas Puppy. I stamped the swirls in the bg with CBS and VersaMagic Sea Breeze. Then I added a few pearls to the swirls. For the snowy ground, I drew wavy lines with Baby Blue Liquid Pearls and Stardust Stickles. |
 |
| Here's a close-up of the adorable Christmas Puppy. I coloured him with Graph'It markers. The greeting is from CBS Merry Little Christmas. Sorry about the reflection - acetate is not easy to photograph. |
 |
| A couple of swirly accents on the inside and another greeting from CBS Merry Little Christmas. |
