Deer in a snow globe

Hi everyone, Maria here with another idea for a card using the Winter Wonderland stamp set from Colourific.
Here's what you will need:

A5 Winter Wonderland stamp set
1 sheet red card
1 sheet stamping card
Silver mirror card
Snow globe and circle cutting die
Versafine Onyx Black
Clear Glitter Glue
Water colour paints
Gold Gilding Wax
Paper mask or liquid masking fluid
Water colour paints

Here's How I made it:
1. Die cut 3 Snow Globes in Dark Red card and one in stamping card
2. Die cut 1 circle in the middle of one of the red globes and one in white stamping card.
3. Stamp the image of the reindeer in the centre of the white stamping card circle and mask the reindeer.
4. Watercolour the blue sky, then remove the mask and paint the reindeer.
5. On a separate piece of stamping card, stamp a few of the medium and small Christmas Trees, water colour them in and fussy cut them out.
6. Glue the trees onto the circle and draw in some snow hills using the clear Glitter Glue.  Add some glitter to the trees and dot the sky to give snow.
7. Once dry, stick this circle to one of the red complete snow globes.
8. Add mirror card behind the base of the globe with the cut out circle, then apply the gold Gilding Wax to almost cover the red card.
9. Glue this frame onto the top of the globe with the topper on.
10. On the third snow globe, make a fold 1 cm from the top of the globe and attach this base to the decorated globe by gluing the 1cm at the top of the globe.  This will enable the globe to stand up like a card.

That's it, all done

Winter Wonderland Fridge Magnet

Fancy a change from making cards?  Here is an idea for a fridge magnet:

Here is what you need:

2.5" diameter MDF circle
White Stamping Card
Winter Wonderland Stamp Set
Versafine ink pad Onxy Black
Alcohol pens
White pen - I used a Uniball Signo
Clear or white Glitter
Dries Clear glue
Glass paper (sandpaper)
Clear varnish or Glossy Accents
Magnet

Here is what I did
  1. Stamp the image of the two deer's on a piece of stamping card and colour in using your favourite preferred colouring tools. 
  2. Underline the characters with glue and glitter to ground them and the border between the sky and snow.
  3. Glue onto the MDF circle and wait until it dries.
  4. Cut out around the circle leaving a millimetre overhanging, use the glass paper to smooth the edges. 
  5. Cover the image with a thin layer of varnish and let this dry.  Top Tip  - Don't try to do this on a hot day - I did and it was not happy!!!!
  6. Outline the edge with glue and glitter.
  7. Attach a magnet onto the back.  I cut some off a self adhesive roll.
