Sunday Christmas Card......

I Have never made a shaker card before so this is my first attempt...I saw John Lockwood on Hochanda doing a demo and thought I can do that!   so this is my attempt......




most of the products used are Sue Wilson...Twinkle Twinkle embossing folder....Silent  Night die....double pierced squares set A& B...a bit of gilding wax on the embossing background and cosmic shimmer iced snow....my first attempt leaked....and the silent night didn't show...so a quick remake with more clears dry glue round the foam tape......and a white shadow for the sentiment....success!
Today will be spent cleaning and ironing bedding as I have visitors arriving tomorrow for a few days, really looking forward to maybe...weather permitting going to Burton Agnes to see the snowdrops....
Hope you are having a good weekend and the weather is being kind.....

A lovely shaker card, very dramatic in black and white. I love the star embossing too.
