Snow Globe Shaker for guest spot at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown

 

Hi everyone, there is a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and I am delighted to be a guest designer for this round, after winning a previous challenge.
Thankyou to the design team for inviting me.

The theme this time is a sketch, and there is loads of inspiration from the design team on the blog, so I hope you can play along.

As soon as I saw the sketch I thought of the retired Stampin Up die set I had recently bought featuring a snow globe. I thought the circle worked as the globe, the base was the horizontal panel and the three tiny snowflakes were in place of the holly embellishment.

I used distress inks to colour the interior of the globe and a versamark pen and Wow white twinkle embossing glitter for the snow. The stars were spattered on with Finetec silver paint, although you can't see them in the pic!

Here is a close up of the night sky. Apologies for the glare, it was hard to photograph without showing the lights on the globe!

I wanted a frame around the globe to match the silver base so used 2 Spellbinders circle dies to make a frame to fit.

I'm also linking up to these challenges:
