Hello. Welcome to
another Love To Scrap challenge. This time around it’s Anything Goes. We only have one sponsor for this bi-weekly challenge and that sponsor is:
The Prize:
I am working with an
image and sentiment by DRS Designs that they graciously provided. The image is entitled “Snow Globe” and the
sentiment is called Spirit of Christmas Greeting. Obviously I made a Christmas card. I
have been wanting a snow globe image for some time. I saw this one and decided
to give it a try. Normally we are not supposed to use any images or stamps from
other manufacturers, but what is a snow globe without something inside. I don’t
have anything else from DRS so I put a silhouette nativity inside. That way I am not taking much away from the
globe itself. This is my first shaker card ever. I got on You tube and found a
simple tutorial. I decided to give it a go. I had to tear it apart and add a
second layer of foam tape because the snow is just too thick and wouldn’t move
around. It wouldn’t stay inside the tape either because the tape did not make a
high enough wall. I don’t think it turned out to bad for my first try.
I used my gellyroll
clear stardust pen on the stars inside the globe. I stamped the nativity with
brown momento ink but it wasn’t dark enough. You could see the background paper
through the image. I traced over it with copic E49 which helped tremendously. I
stamped a star onto yellow cardstock and cut it out (not the easiest thing to
do). I covered it with Wink of Stella gold and yellow pens for some sparkle and
mounted it to the stable with a glue dot. Then I took diamond stickles and
added more shine to the background. I had printed the globe several times on
regular paper until I got the right size. Then I placed a small piece of brown
cardstock over the globe’s base and printed again. I cut it out and layered it
over the image. The cardinal and poinsettia are movers and shapers mini dies by
Tim Holtz. I covered them with his frosted film for sparkle and used distress
inks to color. The cardinal wasn’t dark enough, so I colored him with R27. I
cut both dies out of a material called Clearly for Art. I used the whitout for
this but it also comes in clear and black. You can heat this material and then
shape it. I only shaped the poinsettia. The green branches are a pine branch
punch from Paper Blossoms. The DP is from an old Christmas pack that I have had
for years.
Here is the inside:
I used a small image
of the snow globe printed on white cardstock. I colored it with copics-BG10 for
the globe and E23, 25, 27, and 29 for the base. I then used Wink of Stella pens
clear and brown to add sparkle. I stamped an angel inside using Delecata Gold
ink. I applied a thin coat of 3D Crystal lacquer and sprinkled a little Rock
Candy distress glitter and Recollections Bling extra fine glitter so that it
looked like snow swirling around inside. I then added a thick layer of the
crystal lacquer for a glassy effect. The sentiment was printed using Word. I
changed the color using the recolor picture tool.
All in all I am very
please at how this turned out. I hope you like it too. Thanks for stopping by.
