This week at the Pile It On Challenge, we're celebrating Shaped Cards. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a snow globe card! We're sponsored by Flonz Crafts, a stamp company specializing in Vintage, Retro & Modern designs, so I decided to go with a vintage theme.
Although I wish I could have used Flonz Stamps for this card, I did get to ink up this new-to-me set from Crafty Secrets for the first time. Each element of the Vintage Silhouettes set is a separate stamp, so it was easy to set up the design to fit the card.
I wanted to keep the colors simple, so I used the "Blues, Browns & Beige" color combo from Flonz Craft's Vintage Stamping Challenge.
I cut the snowglobe shape myself, with help from IO Shake It's pouch, overlay & card, a Spellbinders circle die, and my trusty ruler & scallop scissors. The base is cut from a gold paper, but I sprayed the white frame with Iridescent Gold glimmer mist (Tattered Angels). I edged everything with Antique Linen distress ink, and painted the base & frame with Ranger's Crackle Paint. The stamping is all done with Vintage Photo distress ink. I added some detail to the image inside the globe with a gold pen (Sakura). The shaker is filled with "Champagne" microbeads. I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit to cut the butterflies from a blue-and-cream DP from my stash.
Here's a close-up:
