At my classes the images on my projects where an application is made by hand, we laugh about the light touch that I have on them - for some reason, try as I may, most of my sponging, colouring etc comes out quite light rather than bolder strokes. When I was taking the picture of this project, I thought, hmmm, I was too timid even with the water!. It can certainly hold a bit more but I was rather concerned that it would all come dripping out. But here it is 3 days later and the water is holding tight.
I made a 4" x 4" card using the a treat cup for the globe. I poured water into the cup and added some Dazzling Diamonds. I peeled off the sticky backing on the cup and placed a square of window sheet over it, pressing around the edges to make sure the water was sealed in. I stamped a snowflake from Serene Snowflakes using Bashful Blue on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock and then applied that behind the window sheet.
The Bashful Blue card stock is cut 4" x 8" and scored at 4". I cut a piece of 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" Whisper White and ran it through the Big Shot using the Petals A Plenty Embossing Folder. I punched the 1 3/4" Circle Punch slightly to the top of the 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Bashful Blue so that I could stamp the ornament holder piece from the Sweet Centers set upside down to form the base of the snow globe. This was coloured with a Night of Navy marker.
I used the paper piercer and mat pack to add some interest around the edges of the Bashful Blue. The Merry Christmas image stamped with Bashful Blue on Whisper White and punched out with the Modern Label Punch is from A Cardinal Christmas set.
Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!
