It's still snowing...


As promised snow globe number two. This time I used Diamond Dust for the snow inside the snow globe. Oh this product is just amazing - it really sparkles (which you can't see in the photo) and moves so well when you shake the globe. Just perfect and it also makes a very satisfying swishing sound too as an added bonus.

Sorry about the reflection on the photo above. The one below seems to be at a strange angle, but at least you can see Messy in his baggy jumper better. I think this particular stamp has to be my all time favourite Messy Rabbit stamp even though I love them all. The scene behind him is another page from the White Christmas backing paper pad.

I am hoping my card will qualify for the challenge at Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge where this week the theme is a cosy Christmas scene or looking in through a window. Well I think Messy may qualify for the 'cosy' part of the challenge with that Christmas jumper and also snow globes are a kind of window.

Well that's my story anyway and I'm sticking to it!!

WOWEE - you're steaming ahead with your Christmas cards. Just being scrolling down to see what I've been missing and they are all fabulous. You do love your 'Scruffy' rabbits don't you - what I want to know is when you're going to let him out of the snow globe - poor thing!!
Spectacular card - love it.
