Shaker Card - Waiting Tilda

I wanted to share a card with you I just finished working on.  I had the idea swirling around in my head for about a week now, but I didn't know which direction I wanted to go with it.  This card was designed primarily for Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge, which was asking for Shaker Cards, but many other challenges became a part of it along the way.  I used the sketch from Magnolia Stamp Lovers and I loved how it turned out.  I chose to use Waiting Tilda and the bench stamp by Magnolia and colored them both with my copics.  The designer paper came from a DCWV Christmas pack from last year.  The white piece was just a plain sheet of white cardstock that I ran through my snowflakes embossing folder and cuttlebug, then sprayed it with Vanilla Smooches Spray.  I love how it sparkles!  I also used white glitter paper to mount the DP on.  The snowflakes are a MS Snowflake trim border punch that I punched on glitter paper.  I added Polar White flower soft to the shaker card.  As if there weren't enough snowflakes already, I decided to try to make some of my own using some different sized snowflake punches I had and layering them.  I used white CS and glitter paper for dimension, then added some silver bling to the middle.  The thinking of you is a Fiskars Clear Stamp sentiment.


Here's a close-up of Tilda waiting patiently in the snow.  I forgot to say I used one of my Spellbinders labels for the frame.


Here's a close-up of the snowflakes.  I like how they turned out and they really stand out on the card (you can't really see them in the picture).


And finally, here is a picture of the inside.  I tied a white satin ribbon around the  bottom of the card, cut some white shiny paper for the personal note inside and cut some more snowflakes in blue and added some more bling.  I had so much fun creating this card - I hope you like it!
