choo-choo christmas wishes

hello again!

today I'm so happy to share this cute, Christmas-y scene with you that is up on the Newton's Nook blog, too!

I used the adorable All Aboard for Christmas stamp set and coordinating dies to set the scene! I just love those little train images! 
I colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and they just POP against that light grey background.

I then used the Starfield Stencil with some white embossing paste to add the texture to the background! the hills were created with some white cardstock and the Land Borders die set! 

I finished off the card with some Crystal Stickles, and I really LOOOOOVE how they add to the whimsy and Christmas feeling of the card! 

be sure to check out the card on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!

heart-shaped card for warm winter wishes!

hello!
happy Wednesday, and thank you for stopping by!
today I have a cute little shaped card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

eeeep!
I love how this little scene turned out! 
I used the Outside In Stitched Heart Stackables dies to create the shape of the card! 
then I used Wilted Violet and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Inks for the sky! then I used Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink for the Stitched Hillside Borders dies to crete the snowy hills! eeeep! love them!
I splattered water and white acrylic ink over everything to add to the snowy scene!

the sentiment and little critter are from the Winter Alpaca stamp set! looove him!
and the trees are from the Winter Village stamp set! I even added some Crystal Stickles to the trees for a little sparkle! 

so that's my card! 
be sure to check it out on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog, and to play along with the shaped card challenge! 
enjoy!

joy to the world!

hello and happy day to everyone!
