so cute!
I started by used Distress Inks in a rainbow of colors and the Reindeer Stencil! then I used some translucent embossing paste on top of the rainbow reindeer! once that was dry, I used Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina to ink blend the background! 

I also splattered some white acrylic ink and gold ink all over the background!

I die cut out the shaker part using the Ornament Shaker Die Set! then I used Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron for the bright green ornament to pop! I heat embossed the sentiment from Ornamental Wishes onto the acetate of the shaker! so fun!
