Water Globe Gift Idea for Christmas!

 

Hello my friends! 

Today I have something different to share with you!  This is a very simple little water globe I made using this month's release from Our Daily Bread designs, Turtle Dove Ornament.   I bought this water globe kit from Hobby Lobby.  It has the name of Nicole on the sticker.  Anyway... it's so simple to make a fun gift with it, and very inexpensive too!  There is water on the front and back of a center space designed for a photo, and you can put whatever picture or stamped image in that center area you wish, or in my case, you could put 2 images, so that from both sides there is something pretty to see.  So I stamped my image with Memento and colored with Copics.  The circle outline on the stamp is the absolute perfect fit for the globe, so for the top of this insert, I simply cut out the image on that line.  On the bottom, I cut straight down to the bottom, and then worked it in to the center panel.  There is a template in the kit that you can place over any image and use to cut if you want.  It couldn't be easier!  Just shake it up and enjoy!

 

Hope you'll give this a try!  Any of this month's ornament sets would be a perfect fit!  Here is what I used:
