Peaceful Place Shaker Christmas Card #AHSC651

 Hi and welcome to this week's sketch challenge by Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenges.

I really love the layout of this sketch which features multiple layers and  opportunities to add texture.  Making it into a monochromatic shaker Christmas card meant I didn't have to colour the cute little garden cottage, which kept things simple and I was able to keep the sparkle and shine in the shaker portion of the card.  

Here is my card:  




Supplies and Instructions:

Stamps and Dies: 

  • Home for the Holidays Oct 23 Paper Pumpkin Kit stamps
  • Snowman Magic  #159816 sentiment stamps

    • 1/2" x 4 1/4" for sentiment strip
    • 3 x 3 for stitched circle cut out 
    • 3 3/4" x 5" for inside layer

  • Frosted Sequins #135835 (R) SU
  • Subtle Shimmer sequins #156407
  • Dimensionals
  • Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder #162026


The Peaceful Place DSP was one of my all time favourite Christmas papers when it came out a few years ago. There's such a rich blend of silver foil and images on each of the pages. The first mat is a mix of foil snowflakes and basic gray background while the second matte has rows of snow capped trees making it the perfect background for the winter cottage. The basic gray layer worked really well for creating a shaker card. 

Well that's it for this sketch and I've lost count, but I think this is the 101st of 150 cards for this season. Please leave me a not to let me know if you liked the style of this card.  

HAPPY STAMPING!
