I was really dreading gluing it all together. Everything was cut using my Silhouette Curio. I used Silhouette Studio to design the silver snow globe and the cut for the top paper layer. The Jullibean Soup circle comes with adhesive around the circle, so it was not necessary to stick it through the first layer of paper and glue everything down. I found some nice light blue glitter paper at JoAnn’s and had the silver paper left over from last year. I found the snowflake paper at Hobby Lobby. It would give me the blue sky I wanted behind the snowman scene on the front and white on the inside. It was light blue on one side and white on the other side. I hope the shading on the snowman gives it some dimension.Īt Office Depot, I found dual color cardstock. I probably spend too much time making snowflakes, but I was having so much fun. Since the Snowman were coming together, I could now design the inside of the card. What was I going to do, paint all the snowmen? Nooooo! I had just recent purchase a set of Chameleon Pens, which worked with beautiful results. I should not have varnished the snowmen first. I got out may Sharpie pens and colored the hats. (Which was the first mistake.) However, I need to draw the face and buttons, and color the hats on the snowman. The snowman, trees, and snow were made with Sculpey Polymer Clay using a setting of 3 in the pasta machine and cut with “cookie” cutters, bake and covered with sparkle varnish. Then it occurred to me I have polymer clay, I have cutters for snowman and trees. I thought about designing a village scene to put inside the snow globe, but I wanted a little deep. Once the circles came in, I started to work on the card. It was a quick Click and Order from Amazon. And, than I found Jullibean Soup’s Large Circles by Hampton Art. I researched the ideal and knew it was possible.īut, I didn’t really want to put a piece of plastic wrap or it’s equivalent on the card. This year the ideal was a Snow Globe Christmas card. If I wait until Thanksgiving, I sure that disasters will strike and I would be force into buying Christmas cards from the store. I usually start thinking about my Christmas Cards around July. It is the Christmas Season! All the presents are wrapped and all the cards have mailed it is time that I share with you my Christmas Card of 2017. They were finished using satin varnish by Delta Ceramcoat or DecoArt Americana. Afterwards, I used a pearlizing glaze or medium all over the angels. I haven’t unpacked all the Christmas decorations in years and years and years.Īll the angels were painted with either Delta Ceramcoat or DecoArt Americana paint. The others were stored with the Christmas decorations, and they may or may not survived the flood and moves. I got the angels out and painted them.ĭo I still have the first painted angels? Yes and No. I thought those colors looked so pretty together and had to use them on something. They were never forgotten just a future project.Įarlier this month, I was in Michael’s and found these paint bottle. Those angels were placed into a box and stored. The next year Hobby Lobby had some more, so I purchased three more. I had so much fun painting them and since they turned out beautiful, I purchased and painted three more. I purchased these three and painted them. Each had a different pose and two were holding musical instruments. In the year 2002, I found three paintable Angels at Hobby Lobby. Then I used a sparkle glaze (glitter glaze) over the flower to give it a sparkle. After I was satisfied with the colors, I used yellow, red, and orange fine glitter paint. I used multiple shades of red, orange, multiple shades of yellow, and dark green. I wanted something a little different, so before I started painting it, I searched the internet to check if sunflowers did come in other colors besides yellow. I did not want to paint the sunflower multiple shades of yellow. I did not paint the little white reflection in the eyes because after the gloss vanish was applied, it will allow the eyes to catch the light reflection. As you can tell I did not paint the owl in fall colors, instead I selected the colors that I used to paint the three angels. They are the ones I found this year at Hobby Lobby. Its Christmas Time! No, it’s not! I like houses and a nice little Christmas Village to paint was the next item I selected it was in stored for years. I purchased the horse to paint as a potential gift for one of them. I spent August and September painting a few items I had in storage, but then I went to Hobby Lobby and found two other items in their Fall collection that I just had to paint.
