Inspired by... Challenge

I am a little early this week, but I have to get ready for my parents-in-law visiting...

Well I have to say this one was an easy one for me! A while back Vicki Garrett had posted one of her adorable snowglobes and right then it inspired me to make one of my own. Thanks Vicki !!!


This here is Vicki's version:




Now I didn't have instructions on "how" to, so I came up with my own version of it. And since I only had the stamp set "Flaky Friends", which has a rather large group of snowmen, I had to use the largest glass ornament and a pineapple can to make it perferct proportions. I also wanted to share that I actually used the white watercolor crayon and scrippled directly onto the piece of acetate to color in the snowmen. But for the rest of the picture I used the Aquapainter with the crayons, let dry and then carefully rolled it up and inserted into the ornament.



Here it is - I am very happy with it:
