Christmas Snowglobe

Happy July 4th to all my American friends! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend. Welcome to Lavinia World's  4th challenge.

It's the beginning of Christmas in July madness, crafting friends, so what a better way to kick it off than with a Christmas snow globe.  I love snow globes! There's just something magical about them, don't you think?

Well, Lavinia Stamps aren't all just about Fairies. There are some other beautiful designs that go beautifully with the different seasons, just like the one I used today, called Mary.

Isn't it a beautiful silhouette stamp of Mary, Jesus and Joseph?

I enjoy using my stamps with dies, sometimes they just work perfectly together, as is in this case. The snow globe is a Moonstone die from Hundydory.  To create the background, I used various Memento Inks.

Mary was stamped using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

Mirror silver and gold card stock were used for the snow glove base, sentiment and other finishing touches.

 Here is the list of the materials I used to create this card.

 Each is linked to the Lavinia World store for your convenience.

For my projects today, and yes I have two 😄, I used the fabulous saying by Coco Chanel, from Scribbles Designs. Take a look ...

Isn't she just Classy and Fabulous?

This is an image from The Little Square Book of Festive Deco Shimmer by Hunkydory.

Love this little book.  It has gorgeous Art Deco Christmas images, each more Fabulous than the next.  If you look closely, there are tiny white polka dots on the feathers on her head piece. But just in case it wasn't enough, I used a Swiss dot folder on some red shimmer paper and then lightly sanded to show up the white core from within. I used some gold beading strips to add an element of Class :-)

On the inside, I carried the theme through by using the same papers and using a gold filigree frame from the same gold beading strip.  The stamp is from Christmas Sayings by Creative Expressions.

For this card, I used a red, white and black colour combo, which is one of my favourites. The polka dot dress was cut using an unbranded die that I received for Christmas from a bloggie friend (thank you).  The paper itself was from my scraps drawer.  I used the same Swiss Dot embossing folder to bring more polka dots into the project.

On the inside, I used the same card stocks, from GinaK. and used half of the Cake Party birthday stamp from Crafter's Companion.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you liked my card and feel inspired
