Snow Much Fun - GDT Shaker Card with JMC Designs

Hello everyone  I hope that you have are having lovely day today.

I have some very exciting news to share ! I have been invited to join the Guest Design Team for JMC Designs and I have to say that I'm so excited about this as there are some fabulous quirky and cute designs that I'm going to be working with...some are definitely a very different style for me.

Today I'm here to share my first GDT card that I've made using the November freebie Warm Hugs.

At the start of every month Julia McNeill very generously gives away a fabulous digital stamp, which is available to everyone in her Facebook group JMC's Crazy Crafty Hive and also to her followers via Instagram, all you need is to use your email address to register for the stamp.

When I saw this sweet image I knew I had to make a snow globe card for it!  I've seen loads of snow globe  card designs lately and thought it would be perfect as a shaker card.  Most of them use fancy dies but I've improvised and used some simple circle dies.

It's a 6" x 6" card and I'm so pleased with how it looks -  I wish you could see the sparkle and shine in the photos.   I hope that Julia is happy too!

For the background of the card, I delved into my crafty little hoard and found some deep blue mulberry paper that I've had for many many moons so started by adhering this to a piece of white cardstock before splattering liberally with silver and blue metallic inks.

I used a couple of nesting circle dies to cut out an aperture in this background card and also to cut a thin frame that was adhered to the opening to resemble a Snow Globe.

The centre circle cut from the frame was adhered directly to the base of my card blank and I've added a couple of snowy banks of white card to the bottom of this circle, blended with a little blue distress ink.

I cut a panel of white craft foam, cutting out an aperture to match the base and adhered this to the base card with wet glue.  Once dry I filled this with sparkly glitter and false snow and then encapsulated this with a piece of acetate.

I used a Posca paint pen to add snow to the acetate.

Once the sweet image was coloured in with my Promarkers (see below for the colours), I fussy cut this out and then adhered onto the first layer of acetate.

A second piece of acetate, again with snow dots painted on was adhered over the blue frame to enclose the image.

I really hope that you like my card today and it would be lovely if you you leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
