This is my card entry to the monthly progressive challenge at From the Heart Stamps.   This cute little snowman image is designed inside his own frame, but I thought it might be fun to cut him out and give him a shaker window with iridescent glitter and snowflake sequins.  I created a shaker pocket using the fuse tool--in hind sight, I should have used my powder/anti-static tool on the inside of the pocket so the tiny glitter wouldn't stick to the plastic, but I guess it adds to the look of a frosty window...   The snowman is colored simply with Copic markers and his is glued to the inside panel of the card, with a few snowflakes and marshmallow sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.  
Here is my entry for the Gerda Steiner Designs progressive monthly challenge for February. It's a very simple card this month.  I added the sentiment to the image before printing onto 110 lb white cardstock, then I used Copic markers to color the image--very light warm gray to give the bunny just a bit of shading, blush for his cheeks and ears and light blue around him to help the bunny pop off the page a bit.  The panel is cut out using a stitched border die from Simon Says Stamp and glued to a light gray, top fold note care using a piece of craft foam.   As a final touch I added just a few small sparkling clear sequins, also from Simon Says Stamp.  I hope this card will make the recipient smile.
