A Sparkly Christmas Shaker Card

Christmas time has always felt to me like glassy snowflakes, elegant store windows, and beautiful sweets--so I tried to create a card to capture this atmosphere.  I made a window out of old transparency film and double-stick foam. I stamped the kids in a French candy store on a white scrap, added mica flakes, and then encased it all with pre-printed trim. It "snows" inside the window when the card is tilted. 

 All the stamps--music, French sign, children, and aqua pine trees in the background are from Oxford Impressions Stamps.
