House-Mouse Snow Globe

Photo Details

Poster: allee's

I ran into two problems with this project.

1. My ornament was too small or my jar was too big. I couldn't do anything about that!

2. My acetate kept melting when I tried to emboss the back of the image with white.

My solution was to paint the back with three layers of white Watercolor Wonder Crayon. Painted the front with Watercolor Wonder Crayons as well. Stamped the snowflakes with white StazOn.

I used microbeads for the snow. Thanks to Stampin'4Fun for this wonderful idea!
