Put on a Happy Face- a Christmas Shaker

You can't help but smile when you see this snowman dancing with a smile on his face.  I thought he would be perfect in an interactive shaker card.

The snowman was coloured with blends, and the body painted with Frost White glimmer paint. I also painted the area around the snowman with the same paint.  Below the snowman I added some glitter texture paste.

The shaker  was formed in the usual way using Oval framelits, window sheet, and adhesive strips.  I used tiny white beads as the shaker elements. The snowman looks like he's having fun throwing those beads up in the air.

A narrow oval ring was adhered around the oval window.

The basic card is Real Red card stock layered with Whisper White and then Under the Mistletoe DSP (two patterns with a narrow strip of Glitter glimmer paper between the two))

The sentiment, from the "Cookie - Cutter Christmas" stamp set is adhered to the lower right with a fussy cut holly and mistletoe as a decorative element on top.

In the upper left of the oval two pine branches die cut with the Pretty Pine Thinlets.  A bow made with 1/8" Real Red ribbon was adhered to the top.
