Ha, no snow in this area as our temps are above normal and could reach the 70s again this week. This is my favorite time of year but the weather has been a disappointment so far.
I just love this Snow Globe Kit from MFT and have been making quite a few cards and tags with it. For this one, I started with a piece of Kraft cardstock and die-cut the snow globe opening. I die-cut another snow globe in white cardstock, inked it with Spring Rain and Blueberry Sky inks to create a wintry sky and placed it into the Kraft opening. To create the snowy background, I used a stencil and pearlescent embossing paste over the entire front of the card. I also edged around the Kraft with white ink for more of a snowy look.
The snowman's body is die-cut in white cardstock, his arms in Dark Chocolate, hat in True Black and nose in Orange Zest. His eyes, mouth and buttons are stamped in black ink. I added the scarf and hat band in a piece of red pattern paper and placed him on foam tape for dimension. For the background, I die-cut the snow drift in white cardstock and the trees in Green Parakeet cardstock.
The snow globe base is die-cut three times in Pure Poppy cardstock and stacked together for dimension with the sentiment heat embossed in white ink. The panel is adhered to a white cardstock card base. To finish the card I added a glitter line to the snow drift, white markings on the trees and Watermelon twine.
