I wanted to use this snowglobe since last year, but wasn't able to. Nothin' personal to SU, but me no like this one too much. It was hard to color and the things I tried to do with it didn't work. I know -crafter's error.
I tried crystal effects all over it and it just smeared the ink. I wanted to give the shiny globe effect. So, I redid one and used clear embossing powder on the holder, house and trees. Sprinkled the rest with dazzling diamonds. I wanted to use flower soft for the snow, but I always end up making a big mess. I popped up the new version over the old version on dimensionals and popped up the whole nestie panel on dimensionals. Sponged around nestie and fancy tag. Heat embossed sentiment and added bling around the larger nestie. Used the MS PATP for the snowflake panel. That's about it. I don't know if I'll venture using this one again. I'm sure it can be done well, but I wasn't likin' it too much.
Thanks for taking a look and have a great day!

Oh, it's very pretty indeed...even if you had a hard time and weren't too keen on it. I think it's great. I don't know, that could be a fortune telling globe once in your hands. Don't try to tell my fortune because I know it would be bad....or, at least, you would want me to think so. Is this taking the place of your run down spy equipment? LOL
Seriously, I really do love it, Pam.

Your card is adorable Pamzi even if you had a hard time with the crystal effects. You sound like me in the craft room. I just try different things and ruin about half of my images...lol One wrong move and it's a gonner! Good grief, I just messed up a Tilda and a Bear on the same day...lol And mind you when I was just about painstakingly coloring them. Back to the drawing board. At least you cover yours up with another one that looks dynamite. So don't feel bad-your not the only one!!!!

Well, Pam, for not liking it much, you really pulled off a great card with it. I understand, though. I've got some stamps like this myself in my stash that I just can't *use* to my liking. I love your sentiment piece...so fancy!

Dear Card (since I am not speaking to you Pamzi, you are really special. I hope you are not the fortune telling globe because if you are, you are not very good at it! You need to stop leading on Pamzi even if she did TRY to steal a card from me that she was already getting one of - arghhhhh!!! Anyway, card, I hope your week goes well and you are able to get in the mail soon and escape the Fruitflakezi!!!! Hugz to you (and even one little hug for Sis even if I am mad at her).

You should re-post this for today's TLC challenge...cause your globe is simply darling! Can't tell you had such trouble with it. It looks like you just shook it all up so's the snow would just float all around. Fabulous card once again Fruitcake! TFS :0)
