My first shaker card

This morning I experimented with the Shaker Frames and succeeded in making a Shaker Card.

I had previously coloured the image from Snow Much Fun with watercolour crayons, so used it for the Shaker Card.
The image was punched with a 1 14/" circle punch and adhered to the designer paper.
Then I punched a medium window sheet with a 1 3/8" circle punch.
The Shaker Frame is a circle of foam which is sticky on both sides.  I selected a circle that was slightly bigger than the punched image.
Before removing the top off the Shaker Frame to expose the adhesive, I put some Silver glass glitter in the middle of the foam circle. Then the covering was removed &  the punched window sheet was placed on top of the now sticky foam circle.
The embellishment around the circle was made by punching a 1 1/4" circle.  The scallop circle punch was centered over this circle and punched.  This scallop border was centered over the window sheet & shaker frame.
A dot of dazzling details was placed on each scallop.
