Let It Snow

Let It Snow

A round card for the Caardvarks Challenge.  I've never made a round card before but this was really fun.  I will definitely do it again.  At first, I thought of doing a tiered snowman card that would fold up to a snowman face on the front of the card.  I intend to still try that idea.  My mind then naturally switched from a snowman to a snow globe.  My intention was to actually apply a transparent cover and loose 'snow' to make it more like a real globe, but once the card part was finished, I felt adding the rest would detract from the picture.  I am thinking I will still make a real globe card sometime in the near future, too.  However, I like the way this card turned out as is.  Oh, and I made it to open from the top to keep with the globe effect with a flat bottom.
