CHRISTMAS SNOW GLOBE

Sharing today another project that was made possible by a cut file, designed by Samantha Walker, that I purchased from the Silhouette online store during their recent sale.  The most difficult part of making this card was choosing the paper and card stock to use.  
I used a marker to give the snowman eyes, a smile, charcoal buttons, and to write "J-O-Y" for the banner, which is held together with glue dots and Stampin' Up!'s linen thread.  I don't believe it's apparent from the photos, but a piece of acetate was used for the "glass", and two snowflakes were adhered to the edge of the globe's frame.  Partly, this was done to draw the eye away from a little glue smear.  ;-)
It's just a fun little trifold that I sent to aunt Betty!
