How I made my card....

With some masking, I stamped the snowman in the snow globe and stamped the sentiment on a snow globe stand. I colored the image in watercolor technique using only one color: Distress Ink Ground Espresso. After drying, I masked the snowman, snow and bottom part of the snow globe. I mixed a white tempera color with a bit of water and, using a paint brush, splattered the snow globe and left it dry on air.

After drying, I fussy cut the snow globe and traced edges with a black marker. I drew glass reflections and highlights with a white pigment ink pen. After the pigment ink dried, I softened the image with a stylus ball on a soft working mat. This curled the image a bit, which gave a bit of dimension to the image.

Then I worked on a snow globe shaped card base. I stamped the snow globe on a white cardstock paper, scored the paper above the snow globe and folded the cardstock in half. Following the snow globe shape, I fussy cut the card base leaving thin white border around the snow globe. I didn't cut the top, as that is the part that holds card base together. I colored the snow globe in black with the black marker, glued the watercolored curled snow globe image over it and my card was finished. :o)


I love how my card turned out!! :o)
