Happy Thursday! Remember last week when I shared a card that I created using the Geometric Builder Circle dies that I found when I was cleaning up? Well another little treasure that I found at the same time is this adorable skating Santa image from a retired Janes Doodles set called St. Nick that I colored a while back and then promptly lost.
I thought he would be perfect for a faux snowglobe.
First I doctored up my image a little bit to add some ice using my Copics. Then I trimmed down the colored panel and adhered it to my card base.
For the front panel, I cut a piece of kraft cardstock and die cut a snow globe opening using an older MFT die.
Next, I added some texture and interest to the panel using the Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil and some embossing paste.
Once this was dry, I lightly traced the snow globe opening around my Santa, and then used those lines to place my foam tape and create a little well for a shaker.
I used some clear seed beads for the shaker contents, removed the foam tape around my shaker well, and adhered a piece of clear transparency.
I then added some more foam tape around the edges of the card, and adhered my stenciled panel.
To finish things off, I white embossed a sentiment from Hello Bluebird's Typed Christmas set on a strip of dark gray cardstock. I then trimmed the edges at an angle to mimic a snow glove base, and popped that up just below my shaker opening.
It was fun to be able to mix and match lots of different companies and give some love to some of my older goodies for this card.
I should clearly clean more often because you never know what might turn up!
