I've made a Christmas card using Flourishes' Christmas Classics set for this month's challenge. I've made it a Wintery Shaker card (even though here in Australia it's always scorching hot at Christmas time) to get everyone into the festive spirit! I've used a base of Riding Hood Red and layered with white (pierced) and some Bo Bunny DP. The side panel is the reverse side of the DP and matted with Chocolate Chip punched with MS Woodland Branch punch. Over this I've added some ruffled cream ribbon and then a piece of red gingham ribbon. I've stamped the cardinal in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copic Markers (R32, R25, R37, R39, Y23, BG0000, E21, E25, E27).
The shaker is made of Riding Hood Red cut with two of the Labels 16 dies and then glued a piece of acetate to the back. I then sprinkled some Polar White Flowersoft onto the back and adhered the coloured cardinal panel to the frame using X-press It High Tack Foam Tape. I've stamped the sentiment from the same set, cut with Small Circle Nestabilities and matted with more red cut with Lacey Circle Nestabilities. To finish I've added a double gingham bow, topped with a button and silver twine and a few more buttons to the top corner.
