Christmas Card Club Challenge #21 - Snow Globe

 Hi Crafters,

Christmas is looming and I have a couple of cards to share for the Christmas Card Club. It was Gwen's turn to choose a theme and she has picked

SNOW GLOBE

These are both CraftsUprint downloads and I covered the snow globe area with Debbi Moore's Print Magic which gives a sparkly layer in real life - the camera however has caused a white-out in parts but you get the idea I hope? I cut and decoupaged the layers and added some tiny gems too.

Please take a look at the other ladies blogs, links are in my sidebar under the CCC tab to see their creations.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
