Merry Monday #205 - Santa Snowglobe

Hi Friends,
Welcome to a new Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge.  Linda is challenging us to create a Snow-globe this week.  I used the Stampin' Up! Home For Christmas Designer Paper and cut my Santa out. The globe is larger than the one that used in the Sparkly Seasons Stamp Set, but I used the base and sponged the edges with Soft Sky for a bit of definition.  Finished off with the sentiment and some embossing paste in the globe for the snow, which I sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds onto before it dried and cut out another Santa for the inside of my card.

Supplies:

Stamps: S/U's Sparkly Seasons, Sassy Salutations

Card: Whisper White, Real Red, Home for Christmas DSP

Ink: Real Red, Soft Sky

Finishing Touches: Dazzling Diamonds

Cool Tools: Big Shot, Spellbinders Classic Circle Die, Misti Positioning Tool, Sponge, Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil, Spatula, Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, 2 Way Glue Pen

Great to see you here today.  Happy Crafting.
