Layered Snow Globe & another Nutcracker

Yay - it's the weekend! Since I posted for Die Cut Divas yesterday, I saved that HeroFest Holiday Cheer Card Drive card to share with today's card. 

Supplies: Paper - Neenah white; Hero Arts glitter;

BoBunny Woodland Winter 6x6

Dies - Hero Arts Layering Snow Globe Fancy Die Set; 

Sunny Studio Snowflake Circle Frame

Other - Speckled Egg Distress Ink; Copic BG70; Paper Studio gems;

Tarnished Brass Distress Stain; Simon Says Stamp sentiment strip

I used a new snow globe die for a previous HeroFest card; today I used an older, smaller, layered snowglobe. Just die cut and assemble - love it!! Too much white? Lots of Neenah here; only the deer was cut with glitter white. I shaded with a BG70 Copic for some contrast on the rest of it. I sponged Speckled Egg Distress ink for my sky & colored the base with Tarnished Brass Distress Stain. Gave my deer a red gem for his nose. The snow globe set comes with a snowflake cluster but I added some extras from a fave Sunny Studio set, plus a few clear gems.

Here's the card I made yesterday. I used the nutcracker background stamp and nutcracker die again - so fun. I wasn't going to put the die cut nutcracker on at all (there's a little one on the sentiment strip) but decided the card needed something. This time he's cut with Hero Arts holiday glitter paper - love this paper & thank Hero Arts for sending it!! The green strip is a bit of leftover embossed grass from the other day's fall birthday card; you can't even tell - just looks textured.
