Snowy Christmas Cottage & Ice Blue PoinsettiasCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

I reduced the size to fit a 5"x7" card, allowing for a border, then printed two copies on matte photo paper.

I covered a card with white glittered paper, then attached one card topper with strong dst.

I cut the oval out of the second copy and taped a piece of acetate to the back, then completely enclosed the oval with foam tape and added more to the corners.

I put a bit of Polar White Flower Soft, some clear glass microbeads, and some crystal hex beads in the center of the scene on the first copy, then carefully lowered the second "window" copy into place to create a shaker card.

I shaped and layered the flowers, also using a couple from the extra copy, and attached them and the sentiment with silicone gel.

Such a serene, peaceful image.
