Ok, so, onto the fun stuff! A new challenge begins today at A Day For Daisies and it is to use glitter - woohoo! I love my glitter *giggle* - and since the new release are snow globe images (CA-UTE!), it's the perfect combination! I used Tammy's "Mermaid in a Snowglobe" image - oh she is such a cutie! I love how she's pressed up to the glass...and that gave me an idea :) I wanted my own little ADFD mermaid in a snow globe! I printed the image on heavy vellum and colored it with prismacolor pencils. I fussy-cut out the mermaid and mounted it on a thin strip of craft plastic. I gently rolled up the image and slipped it inside the clear ornament, leaving the craft plastic to stick out the bottom a little; this way, I could move the image around. Once she was in place (looking out the glass), I hot glued the plastic strip and cut off the excess. I put some "bubble" beads, beach sand, glitter, and tiny shells as well. I used an empty ribbon spool to create the snow globe base. Oh, and I made a matching card to create a little gift set :)
Happy Crafting! <3 Lisa
