Snowflakes..Kisses from Heaven

This Christmas card was inspired from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #133, which resembled a window to me, and what better than a shaker card to show off the snowflake sequins from Paper Sweeties, adding an Penguin image that is so comfortable and used to the cold and snow.  Also submitting to "Through this Window" at Heart2Heart.  

Did my window first, using a snowflake embossing folder, sponged with a light blue ink, heat embossed to bring out the shine of a snowflake, and before adding to the blue panel placed variety of sequins in each window.  Chose to use darker panels on the outside to frame the window appearing as wallpaper.  Next what to do with the focal point...snowmen or penguin.  I chose the Penguin, added pink to the scarf, shadowed his tummy, and used Wink of Stella for a little sparkle.  The sentiment was from a snowmen stampset.
