October Rudolph Days

Hi everyone.  Playing along with Rudolph Days. The challenge runs from the 25th to the end of the month.

I used a new-to-me die set of ornaments (gifted from a sweet friend) to create a shaker card.  I've not had a lot of success with making shaker cards, but this worked out really well for me.

Here's a close-up.

I was on a roll ... so here's another version ...

It's a great way to use some of my thousands of sequins. :)  I'll be making more of these!


Thanks for stopping by for a visit!







Stamps:  Christmas Messages (Hero Arts); Season's Gift (Penny Black)
Paper:  White (Neenah 110 lb. card stock); Gold Foil, Silver Foil (SU!)
Ink:  Versamark
Accessories & Tools:  Ornament & Shadow Layer set dies (Gina Marie Designs), acetate, gold embossing powder, silver embossing powder, heat tool; sequins: (red, iridescent, silver, clear) and (gold, dark green, light green, iridescent green, clear); gold cording, silver cording

    These are such beautiful cards, Loll. I love the idea of using the bauble as a shaker card. Now I have to check out my bauble dies and perhaps do another link to you if I manage to make one too.
    I think they are eye catching and love them both.

    Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days Challenge.
