Shaker Easel card
I started by creating an easel card base from white card stock. I layered the front and inside with blue card stock and patterned paper from a Pebbles Inc. Snow Fun 4x6 pad, which were stitched together with a sewing machine. I printed the window image on brown card stock and the winter tree on white. I cut out the window image and coloured the winter tree image using Lyra artist pencils adding in some fluffy white clouds. I added some acetate to the window panes, then a double layer of foam adhesive around the window frame. I added a little bit of decorative sand in the middle before adhering the winter tree image to the back. I also added a little bit of glitter to the the corners of some of the window panes fro a frosty effect. I then adhered this to a decorative mat I cut using a Spellbinders Labels 17 and Pebbles Inc. paper and adhered it to the top of the easel card. I then cut some decorative elements from blue card stock and the Spellbinders Parisian Accents dies. I added a few jewels to the to the top. I then printed out the gift tag in dark blue, attached it with some blue embroidery floss tied in a bow and added some little silver bells, and a snowflake made from two die cuts, and some glitter.
For the inside I printed the let it snow sentiment in light blue and matted it in light blue. I then placed it on top of a dark blue card stock pendant with a narrower light blue version just underneath using foam adhesive. I centered this on the inside and used it to keep the easel propped up. Lastly I added a few jewels along the top of the dark blue pendant.
