There's still time to join in at CAS Christmas.
Christine is hosting our challenge this month and she chose...
also joining in at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge
CLEAN AND SIMPLE
My snowflakes are stamped and heat embossed in white on a piece
of mixed media paper.
I smooshed some Distress Ink that onto my palette, picked up the color
with a water brush and dropped into a wet background.
I die cut the frame from some Neenah and a foam sheet and adhered
them with a piece of window sheet in between. This made a pocket to hold some silver
sequins and micro beads.
I adhered the snowflake piece over the shakers and onto a card base.
The sentiment is stamped and embossed with silver.
Now it's your turn to put some blue and silver on a Christmas card
and get that Christmas stash started. You'll be glad you did come time to
mail your cards!
Our fantastic Design Team and Guest Designer, Kaja have wonderful
inspiration pieces to share with you at the challenge site.
I hope you'll check out CAS Christmas and join the gallery.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

So pretty Bonnie. Your smooshed colors make a perfect background for your snowflakes. Hope you are having a great week.
What a pretty card Bonnie - love the shaker element!! Those clear sequins and the microbeads are fabulous together, and look amazing in front of that dreamy background

BEAUTIFUL shaker card Bonnie! Love your water colored background with just that hint of pink amongst all the blue...sooooooo pretty!! And of course all those gorgeous snowflakes too...they're my favorite kind that you don't have to shovel or drive in!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
Gorgeous shaker card, Bonnie. The shape of the aperture is really pretty. xx
Beautiful shaker card Bonnie, I love the silver thread and the little snowflakes.
Beautiful card Bonnie! Loving that frame and how your sentiment nestles right down in there. The silver beads look so pretty with the snowflakes and that beautiful background. About what it looks like here right now! lol Got snow last night and more to come tomorrow. So your card is very reminiscent of our sky right now. Hugs, Brenda
What a great looking card...good design to use for some Feb.- March b'day cards I need to make for my "up north" folks. I "borrow" a lot of your designs because they are so good and fairly easy...at least I am honest about it. Warm smile and a hug.
Love that frame, Bonnie, and the way the colors mix in the background. Beautiful card!
Beautiful background and a fabulous design. Loving the blue and silver combination Bonnie and such a striking card x
This is so beautiful, Bonnie. Shaker cards are my nemesis so I always love seeing them. Love the beads instead of sequins too. The background is so beautifully done and so well blended.
Oh how gorgeous this is. That is a beautiful window for the shaker and the beads and sequins along with the silver cord are just elegant. A perfect card for what is coming this weekend!
I love your beautiful shaker! Wonderful shades of blue for the background and great use of the silver sequins and micro beads.
Your snowy window looks great, Bonnie. I love the background, it perfectly highlights snowflakes. A silver string beautifully enriches the card.
Hugs,

Super shaker, Bonnie. Awesome background... love the blend of colours. xx
Beautiful shaker card Bonnie, perfectly created and finished with a silver thread bow
You out did yourself, Bonnie on this Gorgeous blue and silver shaker Christmas card. I am so impressed. I struggle with shakers. Yours is such a beauty. TFS Hugs..Nancy
Very pretty card! Right now I'm looking at real snowflakes falling down outside my window. (Good day to work on making cards!
Love the microbeads and the sequins on this stunning card Bonnie!
Beautiful shaker card, Bonnie! I love every single detail on this. The frosty look, elegant window frame and sequins are all fabulous. Absolutely gorgeous.

Gorgeous card Bonnie and I especially like the way you have used that die to turn it into a shaker card. Very pretty! xx
Another awesome sky BG. Looks like a window with all the snowflakes accumulated below. Enchanting winter card, reminds me of home LOL. We're into quite the array of dramatic winter changes. But this card is inviting, beautiful xx
