I've always been fascinated by snowglobes. I don't think there can be many (even grown ups) able to resist shaking them and watching the snow fall. When I saw the snow globe on one of my Cricut cartridges I just couldn't resist trying it out.I cut the globe at 6" on a sheet of A4 card ensuring that their was enough space around it to make a border as in this case it's the negative part of the cut out that you use and not the actual snowglobe shape.
After cutting out I attached the silver base scored in places to match the curves on the globe to the back of the globe and also attached the acetate. The scene in the snowglobe is Messy Rabbit in his Santa suit. Check out his expression - definitely a 'Oh no it's snowing really heavily and I haven't even packed the sleigh yet!'
Inside the globe I used Polar white flower soft and a touch of glitter to give a lovely snowy day effect. It looks like the snow spoils the image in the photo, but actually in real life it's a lovely glittery effect. However, I've now found something much better for creating snow - watch this space for tomorrow's almost finished card.
This week the challenge at Allsorts Challenges is snowflakes so I think my snowglobe with it's flurry of snowflakes will fit nicely.

Oh oh what a fabulous idea!! Hi Ann and I apologize first of all for lapse of comments. welcome back from your wonderful vacation, from the pics and blog posts, it sounds like it was absolutely wonderful. :D
I too am a fan of snowglobes, my favorite one being in the trash right now due to a little one's hands. ;) Totally replaceable, and the unsolicited apology was enough to make me forgive instantly.
This technique is one that I really must try as I have a snowglobe stamp just calling to be inked up. Thank you so much for your everyday creations Ann! It inspires me and makes me think out of my comfort zone. :D Have a wonderful Thursday!
WOW!! Ann I love how you did the snow globe!! Fabulous card!!
