I love snow globes. My daughter bought a beautiful musical one with two skaters inside while we were away in Birmingham. Just so pretty and I would have treat myself I think had I not been trying to save my pennies for the NEC. Anyway since arriving home I remembered that I had a spare 'photo globe' in my stash which led me to making a Penny Black Christmas Snow Globe. Ahhh poor hedgies getting shaken up like this.
This is other side of the globe with hedgie resting against his stocking. Both Penny Black stamps I've used are from one of the Christmas clear stamp sets which I've had quite a few years now but it seems to reappear every Christmas.
As you slot the pictures up from the bottom of the globe there is a piece of polystyrene also slotted in to hold the pictures in place which means that the side view is not very appealing. To hide the polystyrene and edges of the pictures I attached ribbon decorated with punched snowflakes and gems all around the dividing part of the snow globe. I think it looks a far neater finish.
My snow globe is intended for the following challenges...
- Penny Black at Allsorts - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
- The Crafty Calendar Challenge - Winter and snowflakes
- Penny Black - Let it Snow
- The Stamp Man - Anything Goes for Christmas
Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend.
Love and hugs.
