Project Tuesday Shaker Card/SASSC36

I'm really excited about how this card turned out. Two reasons--I've never made a shaker card and I hand drew my snowman image. My husband is starting to question whether I really need soooooo many digital stamps every time he see's a receipt. So to hush him for awhile I thought I'd give a little drawing a try. My pencils are rusty, but I thought a snowman would be pretty simple. After drawing with a pencil I outlined it with black marker, colored with Copics, then cut him out. I used the great sketch from The Fresh Batch Thursday Challenge.(http://sasthefreshbatch.blogspot.com/2009/10/stamps-and-smiles-sketch-challenge_15.html)

I have to admit I cheated a little with the shaker box though. I had some acetate for the window but I didn't have any dimensional foam to mount it on. But I did have this little window that I had saved from some clear stamps I bought with just a project like this in mind. I made my snow that is inside the shaker box by rubbing two pieces of styrofoam together to "grate" some off. Then I added some Martha Stewart crystal coarse glitter for a little extra sparkle. This wonderful tip for making faux flower soft came from Holly at Hog Wild About Stamping.

I thought the little snowball fringe would be the perfect embellishment around my snowman window. The snowflakes came from Cricut's Don Juan cartridge. I added a small bow with a star in the center to finish this card off. This card will go to my 3 year old granddaughter Payton. I made her new baby sister a blue polar bear card a couple days ago (see post below). I didn't want Payton to be jealous of Paige's fuzzy (fun flock) card. I thought she would enjoy shaking the snow around on this card.
