Christmas batch number 2

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. Today I am sharing the second of my batch made snowglobe cards.


It's quite a simple card, I have used a Woodware stamp Little Snowman which I purchased from Home Farm Crafts which I visited recently with a friend. It was nice to see everything 'in the flesh' for a change. I coloured the image with alcohol markers. The stitched circle die is Memory Box and is an old favourite.

I am sharing my card at the Rudolph Days Challenge for August
