I coated the Hodgepodge Hardware in Versamark, then dipped into colored embossing powders for the "ornaments". Used Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the pinecones. "Merry & Bright" is a shaker using 2 pieces of H.H. glued back to back, with a window sheet behind the top piece, and Microbeads inside. (I have way too much time on my hands!)
Thanks for looking!

Very creative to use the HH as a shaker frame ~ TFS!

The more I look at this, the better I like it and the more impressed I am with your artistry and creativity! I really love how you used the pine (with the multiple inks) and acorn stamps to make the branches. All the ornaments are ingenius, as well as the fun little shaker you created. Even the layering is special! It must be really something in person. Outstanding, Maddy! TFS. Linda
