Snow Globe Deer Scene Card

 I start off this card by doing a lot of cutting. I cut out the globe shape out from a card panel, I cut out the two snow bank pieces and the two smaller deer from the Sizzix thinlet set.

I then do some ink blending on a small piece of Strathmore bristol smooth water colour paper, and use some blues going from a medium blue to a darker blue to make it look like a night sky.  Once I'm happy with that, I will cut out the snow sky background die in the same set.  

I wanted to have the base of the snowglobe to have a woodgrain effect, so I used the Sizzix 3D texture fade called lumber, and ink up one side with the versafine onyx black ink and put it through the big shot and it gives me a woodgrain look so I can cut out the snow globe base piece.  

I decided to try using the Go press foiling machine to do the sentiment for this card.  I haven't actually used it a lot.  I had a stamp set that I got from Aliexpress and so I will use one of the sentiments from that set, and use some holigraphic gold foil to do the sentiment.  

Finally I can put the card together, I put the snow banks in behind the base of the aperture that I cut out, and then stuck the card panel onto some craft foam.  I worked out where I needed to put the ink blended backgound and stuck that down onto my card base and then stuck the card panel over it.  Finally I can stick my deer onto each snow bank and the wood grain base to the snow globe and that is the card finished. 

While I was doing all the cutting, I cut out the snowman pieces that came with the snow globe set and made up a card using that, this time I made it into a shaker card, it made a very sweet card. You could also make the deer scene one into a shaker card if you wished to also.  Such a cute card. 

 

I have a video of making the card.
