mama Elephant Snow Globe Scenes

Hi there. A new challenge is beginning at The Alphabet Challenge. We have reached the letter ‘S’ – and we want to see your ‘snow scenes’. Here is my card:

I decided to choose a small snow scene from a Mama Elephant stamp set, and then stamped a snow globe around it.

Coloured with Copics, I then added some clear shimmer the the sky and snow – leaving the house free to see.

I die cut the globe, then added some glossy accents to the banner to give the impression of a metal plaque – hopefully…….

Two layers dry embossed with an embossing folder – I think is Sue Wilson but I’m not exactly sure – then added some extra bling with some sequins.

I hope you can come and join us for our ‘Snow Scene’ theme – I look forward to seeing what you create. xx

Hello – a craftathon this weekend, and I created this card using supplies from several companies:

I took the photo Inspiration from one of the challenges, found this stamp and die set from Honey Bee as I knew that Snowman would feature strongly on the card – then looked through my stash for images of houses – small houses and scenes, which I could place behind the snowmen.

I found several and decided not to die cut them – just stamp directly onto the panel, in a muted brown – in-keeping with colour palette on the inspiration photo.

The snowmen and other elements in the stamp set were stamped in Gina K Amalgam ink, then coloured with Copics. A fairly simple colouring, mostly two colours, but the shadow on the side of the snowman just the one colours – as was the ‘grounding’ when I had put the card together.

When die cut, I added some white gel pen, and placed everything as you see.
