For my card I used a free bee stamp from a magazine and made a shaker card. I like to have a few shaker cards at Christmas for people I give cards to in person. I finder mailing gets a little expensive for these pretty cards 😊
I coloured the stocking using prismacolor pencils and watercoloured the background. the frame is from Your Next Stamp. I hope you like my little stocking and it inspires you to play along with us.

Oh, I like the frame over your cute stocking shaker card! Yes, mailing can be an issue which is definitely a shaker card deterrent for me, tsk tsk.
Fab card - love how you did the frame around the shaker!

The shaker element with the cute stocking looks great on this card Christine, and the freebie stamps were certainly worth having. x

Fabulous shaker. Beautiful colouring. Great use of the rectangle frame. Highlights your adorable stocking perfectly. xx
Christine, love your little shaker card and the beautifully colored stocking. Love the frame around it too. It was so nice meeting and stamping with you this past weekend. Have a great weekend.
A beautiful card, the introduction of sequins in a shaker is an amazing idea. It looks stunning.
