Mod Squad Challenge It's a Blue Christmas

It's a Blue Christmas at the Mod Squad this week.  I had an idea for a card and a stamp set that I bought last year and have not used yet.  When Flourishes closed their door, I bought quite a few sets and Snow globe, from Joy is in the Air set, was the one for this card. 
First I will show you the card.
 
I used the Turquoise Sea CS and Ink from GKD.  I stamped the leaves with an old stamp set from Stampin Up, with White embossing powder just around the edge.  The bottom of the globe and the snowman, is stamped with black ink.  Then I cut a mask and flecked in snow for this look.  when I was putting the stamp set away, I noticed that there was a "snow" stamp, so I really didn't need to make a mask.  I do like this random effect though.  On the side I added a strip of blue foiled paper. 

You can see the foil paper better in this view.

I started out this year with the idea that I would find an easy, but unique card to make for all of my Christmas cards.  Instead, I have made many different ones.  There are so many ideas out there, who wants to make the same card twice.  Right?
Thanks so much for your visit today, and thanks for any comments that you care to leave.

  1. FABULOUS! Poor Flourishes! :( Love this card and the subtle snow on the globe itself, or is it IN it? lol And JOY don't forget the JOY!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER make the same Christmas card either, it's too much fun using everything you own, right?

  3. Oh, I love this so much. Sure wish I would have gotten that stamp set - looked at it several times. You really nailed this challenge, absolutely adore the embossed leaf image - looks like what frost looks like on a window. So glad you are making your own Christmas cards this year - you will have so much fun!!
