Greetings! I have a fun shaker card to share with you today that uses the “Hello Frosty” Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground. I was really inspired by the pink sequins in this Blend, so I decided to use a flamingo from Stampendous‘ “Peeking Pals” stamp set.

My flamingo needed a little something to keep her warm, so I added a hat from Stampendous’ “Winter Pals” stamp set. I colored the hat and flamingo with Copic markers. My shaker panel (which has the flamingo stamped directly on it) was created with Stampendous’ “Winter White” stamps and dies, which unfortunately I don’t think are available anymore. But, there are many other snowflake stamps and dies out there, so I am sure you could achieve a similar look.
My snowflakes were stamped with VersaFine Clair Ink in Twilight. I did my die cutting first, so that I could stamp my snowflakes around the window. You can see here the pretty colors of the “Hello Frosty” Sparkle Blend, as well as a couple of the teeny clay snowmen and snowflakes that are in it. I love the cool colors in this Blend. Behind my window, I added a patterned paper scrap that I had, plus I stamped a sentiment to put on top. My card base was ink blended with Speckled Egg and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink.
I really like the addition of pink in this card, instead of keeping to only blue tones for a winter card. It not only adds a little warmth, but it also adds some fun pops of additional color.
