Snowglobe On Ice ...

An unusual week for those involved with The Sunday Challenge: quite possibly the maddest, baddest, craziest, and friendliest group on ipernity.

Instead of being given a theme and then having to take a photograph to accompany it we were given an image produced by someone else and told to "do your magic however you see fit". That said, it wasn't a challenge intended to just see who could work the old sliders best.

For those not involved with TSC and to give credit to the person who produced the initial image I've inserted a copy of it in the Notes: top right-hand corner.

Entitled simply Snowman Christmas it was created by UNKWinc over on Deviant Art.

Initially I thought of using it as the basis for some sort of Christmas card. Then I thought of an orb, but I felt that would perhaps lose too much of the original image, before settling on the idea of trying to create a snowglobe.

EDIT: 15/12/2014:

I've been asked by a couple of folks how I produced this image so I've cobbled together an article, which I think gives enough information for anyone who isn't practised in working with layers etc to have a go at making their own snowglobe:
