Santa In A Snowglobe

Hello and welcome.  Today starts the week long Christmas In July event over at Bugaboo Stamps blog Catch The Bug challenges which I'm guest designing for the month of July.

Before we start our event this week we would like to honor a design team member I am  sad to say we we lost just recently. I am sure many of you knew Julie through her blog and through social media.    She was such a great person and a better friend to many.

 Julie Temple has been a huge part of the Bugaboo  Family since 2011.   That is a long time and  we will miss not only her amazing talents but her kindness and willingness help in promoting Bugaboo! 

We miss you friend  and teamie and we would not be here today without you and your hard work and dedication to Bugaboo Throughout the years! 

 Julie you are gone but not forgotten and I am so thankful for knowing you!
We will be featuring a past project of Julie's each day of the event!

 
For my card today, I am using my new Snowglobe Santas Sled image.  I absolutely love snow globes!

After printing off my image I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling some Tim Holtz broken china distress ink around the edges and then layering.  Instead of adding brads, I went and hunted for 2 days - TWO DAYS - for the snowflake sequins I knew I still had somewhere in my stash.  They would be easier to find if I used them more.  You know where I ended up finding them??  Right where they were supposed to be in the box of Christmas embellishments.  Of course it was also the last place I looked and at 4:00 in the morning too.  After adding them, I also pulled out some Making Memories poinsettia paper flowers I haven't used and added those to the bottom left corner.  For the bow, I couldn't find my cranberry ribbon, so I used a silk red bow and colored it to match using a prismacolor marker.  For my card base, I pulled out some unloved Basic Gray Figgy designer paper, added that and then added the layered image.  The final touches were ice stickles, some 3D glaze pens to highlight parts of the image, and then using a Faber-Castell black artist pen to highlight Santa's name.
