I know that October My Monthly Hero Kit includes some amazing products that are perfect for creating a snow globe shaker card. However, I wanted to share a different way to use the kit today.

To create a winter scene with snow falling from the night sky, I watercolored my background with 4 shades of blue and added ink splatters using Unicorn White Spray on the background.

After stamping the sentiment in black on a white semi-circle panel, I mounted the circle on the bottom of my card using foam tape. Then I stamped my images from the kit, die cut and popped them up along the curved panel using foam tape.

By the way, I sponged white ink on the watercolor background using sponge dauber and white ink pad to create a glow of the street lamp.
