This month at the House of Cards we're asking that you create a card that is not a square or a rectangle but anything else is fair game. Circles, ovals, snowglobes!
I love snow globes and decided to create one with my Cameo. I've included a pic for your reference. The card is A2 in size.
I airbrushed the blue background, leaving the bottom white as snow. I then colored and diecut the penguin and fire. Isn't that penguin adorable? I used a snow pen on his hat for kicks. I assembled the rest of the card--double layer of foam tape, glitter mix, etc--but felt there was something lacking. Note in the pic below how there's no shading on the base--very blah. I was much happier after I added in some shading with Copics.
