Dotted Diamond Background Die Focused Card with Gladys

Hello crafty friends! Gladys here and I'm excited to be back on the blog. For my card today I'm sharing a cute snow globe shaker. If you would like to learn how to use your dies in a different way, then keep on reading.

I wanted to use some left-over colored images from another project using Penguin Party set. I stamped them using alcohol friendly ink, colored with Copic markers then cut using their coordinating dies. I also used a tree from the Seasonal Trees stamp set.  

To create the snow globe, I cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than an A2 size panel. I used the second largest die from the Stitched Semi-Circle to create the window. For the base, I used the rectangle piece with score lines from the Woolen Mitten cut from dark brown cardstock. I inked the edges with vintage photo to add some depth. For more interest on the panel, I used the Dotted Diamonds Landscape die which create a gorgeous stitching all over.

For the shaker, I first inked a piece of Bristol smooth paper to create the background. I used milled lavender, dusty concord and blueprint sketch distress oxide inks. I adhered acetate and double-sided foam tape behind the white panel. I placed some images and a snow hill behind the acetate then it was time to add all the pretty sequins and glitter. I mounted the inked panel to secure the shaker elements and glued the entire panel on a top folding card base.

To finish the scene on the front I adhered the rest of the colored images, base for the snow globe and snow hill inked with peacock feathers. For the sentiment I white heat embossed on black cardstock and trimmed to fit on the base of the snow globe. To add details, I used a white gel pen for highlights on some of the images and flat back pearls on the penguin's hat. To complete my card, I added a scalloped frame using the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies. 

That is all for me, I hope you found some inspiration. I'll be back with another project soon. Have a wonderful day!
