Three Kings Snow Globe

Hello!  It seems like I have been on snow globe shaker cards kick this season.  This on may be the last one for awhile.  I made this with some of the leftover images I had colored using the Gnometivity Stamp Set by Trinity Stamps.  

I used the Snowglobe Shaped Card Die for this card.  I cut the cardbase from a dark blue cardstock.  I cut another cardbase from white cardstock.  I cut the right side of the cardbase off and glued it to the inside of the card.  I stamped a sentiment that is included in the card on the inside.

To create the shaker well, I cut 8 pieces of the snowglobe and glued them together.  I glued them to the front of the card.  I inked one of the inside snow globe pieces with Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and glued it inside the globe. I also used the included die to cut out the ground for the gnomes to stand on.  I inked that with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.  Then I glued my little friends inside before I filled it with Transparent Jewel Tone Shaker Pops.  These are some of my favorite fillers because they sound so cool when they move in the card.

I colored my friends with Copic markers in the following colors:

• V05, V06, V25 - Violets
• B00, B02, B04 - Blues
• BG11, BG13, BG09 - Teal
• E23, E27, E37 - Mittens and Shoes
• Y13, Y15, Y17 - Yellows

Once I had my images placed and the embellishments added, I sealed it up with a piece of acetate cut in a circle the same circumference as the snow globe.  

I cut my top snow globe from a white shimmer paper.  I cut the base from a piece of light brown woodgrain cardstock.  I cut another base from blue cardstock and trimmed off the top and the bottom.  

I heat embossed the included sentiment on the blue cardstock using gold embossing powder.

I love this little card so much!  I may keep it just for this year.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
