For the background of my shaker, I created a night sky with Distress Inks and stamped the deer and rabbits, as well as several of the snowflakes from Newton's Nook Designs' Serene Silhouettes stamp set. The shaker card is filled with Flower Soft - it makes the perfect snow!
The sentiment, from Newton's Nook's Holiday Tweets, was heat embossed onto a black strip with gold embossing powder. The entire piece was mounted to gold glitter paper and then a black card base.
I love how it looks like you're catching a glimpse of a sweet woodland scene through the pine trees!

🎄 GIVEAWAY 🎄
I used supplies from Newton's Nook Designs and Impression Obsession to create my woodland shaker card!
I created my soft background blending several shades of green Distress Ink. I then spritzed the Impression Obsession Pine Cover-A-Card background stamp with Perfect Pearls Mist and stamped over top of the inked background. The result is a soft, shimmery pine background. I die cut an oval, slightly offset, from the background panel to create my shaker.
