Singing Mice Snowglobe Ornament

Making the snowglobe ornaments shown in my last post were so easy to do, I decided to create another version using the Lawn Fawn stamp and die sets, Caroling Mice.  For the background I chose a printed card stock with a village scene. (Sorry it's hard to see in the photo.) I think the mice show up well because the paper is not too bright or busy.  However, the back of the paper was not interesting so I selected another one before cutting it out with my circle die. (See the back of the ornament in the photo below.  The paper had just the right print, some music and holiday designs.)  I created the snowglobe in the same way explained in my last post but added different 'snow'. I chose Buffalo Snow Flakes (sold at HM BFC) instead of glitter snow which is finer.  As with the previous snowglobes, I finished off the ornaments with pipe cleaners, miniature holly sprigs, and red pips. On this set of ornaments I tried using the LF stencils to color in the mice but found the results were not great because of bleeding under the stencils.  Perhaps my Copic pens were too juicy.  The stencils worked well on other stamped images.  To rectify the problem, I colored over the miscolored boo-boos with a white gel pen (sold at HM BFC too!) I learned this tip from another crafter when I complimented her on her neat coloring. Hahaha!  I think you'll find that there are a lot of great holiday stamp images that will work well in a snowglobe ornament. Hope you'll make some too, and have some fun playing with snow!
