On to my card for this Week for MMSC23


 

Don't you love the colors of this card and papers, blue and red?  I love those two together!  See the beads inside of the shaker and the string of silver beads surrounding the 'dome' shaker.  I thought the peppermint paper and embellishment was a fitting touch to the Girl drinking Coca.



A side view of the card, now you can get a better look as to what I call a dome shaker, see how it curves around like a dome, very cool for a winter 'Happy Holiday' card, reminds me of a snow dome.

 

The completed envelope, with velvet ribbon trimming the addressee area.  Again a Peppermint.


Thank you for stopping by today, I enjoyed your visit.  Also notice the blog candy in the post below, please sign-up if you are interested in it.  ~~  Blessings, Jane

  4. I love, love, LOVE this card! Where did you get the "dome shaker"? I've never seen such a thing! That's so much easier and more effective on the card than using a flat cover of plastic. You GO GIRL! Thanks for sharing such sweet stuff.

  13. Just fantastic..I will never look at a my product wrappers the same. I will never look at my product wrappers the same again.
    Some times those things are so hard to open, I will just be more careful when I open it and keep in mind future products that can be made with it :) I love how you made this.
    Well done with the sketch too.

  15. Okay, some of you have asked what in the world was that shaker dome. Well, you can't just buy that ~ It is actually a reused package that something else came in that I thought WOW, I can use it on a card!!!I have one more left as I bought two of that item so I suspect I will use it yet this holiday season. Thank you all for your comments, I have enjoyed reading them so start saving and seeing your discards as reusable and recycle.
