Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia

I used the Window Frames die set to create a shaker window for my card, backed with some pretty blue plaid paper from Lawn Fawn.

I stamped a sled and several penguins from the Winter Wonderland set, colored with Copics, and die cut with the coordinating Winter Wonderland Dies.

I created my shaker window, and filled it with Silver Shimmer Seed Beads, as well as a couple of loose penguins – I was planning on letting them shake free inside the card! They don’t move as much as I planned (should have added another layer of foam adhesive I’m afraid!) but I love where they ended up, and in hindsight would have probably just placed them there if I could plan it that way! :)

Finished off with my sentiment, also from the Winter Wonderland stamp set, a few sequins from Snowflake Sequin Mix, and a bit of shimmery silver ribbon tied in a bow at the bottom!
