Shaky Christmas

After a bit of a damp BBQ yesterday, I have spent a relaxed day crafting today and made this shaker card for Christmas.I've only ever tried a shaker card once before and so was quite pleased with how this turned out (the shadows on the acetate in the pic is glitter). It was inspired by the current Less is More challenge which is a 'things that move' theme, either a card with moving parts or with images that of things that move. I could say I've done both - the shaker card and the flying Santa!!  I've used stamps from Stamp Addicts painted with distress inks and run the outer frame threw my big shot in a dots embossing folder.

It's obviously pretty difficult to show the shaker card in action so I've taken a still of the card lying flat after a bit of a jiggle - I've added glitter and beadazzles.

I'm entering this into these challenges -

I've got to go back to work tomorrow aftr a lovely relaxing week off so I better get off to bed - have a good week and thanks for dropping by...Esther xx
