Snow Globe Houses

My series on Snow Globes made with HOTP stamps & matching dies started here with a discussion of  how to make the card base and do the finishing touches.  Then I started talking about how I decorated them.  I've discussed the background, trees, and snowmen in previous posts.  Toady I'll talk about what I did with the houses.

Just as with the Snowmen, though there is only 1 house die, there are two stamps.  I stamped most of them like this first one using a light blue metallic ink and heat embossing with clear powder so I knew it wouldn't smear or run as I continued decorating it.  I once again used very fine markers to color in various sections of the house.

As you can see in the picture above, I added a little yellow paper behind the window for this one.

Here are the snow globes made using the second house stamp.  For this one I used red ink:

For this second one I added just a bit more detailing with a red fine line marker:

I'm hoping to find the time to make more Snow Globe cards - expanding beyond what came in the set and seeing how other stamps I have might work for this.
