I made this card way back in August, and it's been waiting for it's "Grand Unveiling" ever since!!!!
I stamped the snowman using a small Anita’s stamp (sorry no serial number) and then built a little scene around him using a Pastel Blue Promarker pen, a white gel pen to do some tiny snowflakes and a sprinkling of Hunkydory Sparkling Diamonds. Then I applied a thin layer of Ranger Glossy Accents on the back of a 1in glass cabochon that I got from a company in China a few years back, carefully centring it over the image and then leaving it to dry overnight.
When the “bauble” was dry I carefully cut round the edges and then cut a thin piece of blue card and layered it on silver mirror card. I found the centre of the card and drew a line down the middle, sticking another piece of mirror card at the bottom for the top of the bauble followed by a dollop of PVA glue to the back of the bauble to stick it down.
All that was needed then was a doodled bow and a bit of “fiddlefart” writing … very less is more …. and if I say so myself … I love it!

Hi Helen. Love this. As you say, less is more. I wish I could do my hand writing as well as you do! Take care.
I love it, too!
I love this! I have some of those glass cabochons and must give this a try. Thanks for the inspiration! Maddy x
