I'm Baaack!

Sorry I have been MIA for a while folks...life's been a bit crazy around here lately! We've been getting ready for school, which starts Friday, and had some family come, but I'll be back into the swing of things real soon! Thanks for sticking with me. There's a DT call going on with a new challenge site called Southern Girls and this is my entry for that! I was also hoping to get this into Scrap Girls challenge, but it seems I'm a day late. Anyway, I got this idea in my head and came up with this...hopefully it resembles my idea of a snow globe. Ok, well, there's a few pics today, so I'll get on with it!

Here's a close up of Tilda when the card it closed. I liked the idea of a winter scene behind her and thought that DP was perfect...sorry, I'm not sure where it's from, it's pretty old. The paper snow is DCWV glitter paper and the loose snow is some Diamond Dust and some Holiday snow from Hobby lobby. I have put some polar white flower soft on the bench...so some is always there...and also a few bits on her.


Here's Edwin close-up. Isn't he a doll! This is my first Edwin and I
just adore this image. Edwin is sitting on a velvet ribbon and the red beneath him is a flourish imprinted felt that I found at hobby lobby.

Bet you wouldn't have guessed this was an easel card! I really think this looks just awesome standing up...I'm so happy it turned out the way I pictured it! The snowflakes and the sentiment were cut with my cricut...When it's cold and Wild Card cart.

Here's Tilda in full snow globe mode. The bench she's sitting on is from ATS. Doesn't the snow at her feet look fab!


This is what the card looks like when opened. Sorry, I couldn't get it to stand flipped oopen...probably cause there's so much stuff on the globe part. The little flowery things are from the trim I used to put around the globe.


The snowflakes and the sentiment have raised edges which I achieved by using hot glue...this looks really cool in person. I don't think these pics really do the card justice! All that white paper is completely glitterfied...it's so hard to get that glitter to show. I also put glitter on the sentiment and the red part of the snowflakes.

Ok, well that about does it for this project. Sorry for all the pics, but I had a hard time choosing which ones to use. Sorry it took me so long to get to posting something, but I hope you've enjoyed my card today. I've found some other contests to enter and you can find those below.
