Snow Globe Card

Good morning all! Here's my second post of the day.
Sharing a Christmas card I have made.
I used 2 card bases and diecut the fronts using my Magnolia Doohickey Lovely Fence die. I embossed  2 pieces of card using my Sissix dots and DoCrafts trees folders. I created a snow globe using stitched circle die from The Works and a snowflake edge die from Find It Trading. I added my stamped Tilda which I coloured with my Promarkers and added seed beads inside.
All that was left to do was add plenty of Glamour Dust, sequins and a bow.
