The Jingle Belles challenge inspired this card:
I was inspired by the snowglobes, the dark pastel colours, and the coloured background from their inspiration image:
But I had to go with blue rather than their purple as I'm really not a purple person (but love blue and white for Christmas cards).
I used my new Taylored Expressions stamp / die combo. I stamped it in
black and die cut it, and also die cut two others without stamping to
stack up behind it. I glued acetate between the top two layers.
On the small centre piece that got cut out of the die, I stamped and
heat embossed the cabin. Then sponged bright blue for the sky and very
light blue for the snowy ground. I added glitter to the trees and roof,
and sprinkled a bit of extra glitter over the acetate.
I glued everything to a background of snowy dp and then mounted on a white cardbase.
I've been thinking of lots of my stamps that would work really well for the interior image of the snowglobe so might make a few more.

Stamps - SU Cozy Christmas cabin, Taylored Expressions snowglobe, unknown sentiment

Paper - white cs, unknown dp
