Winter Village

 Hi Friends,

After starting and stopping all week I have finally managed to complete a card.....and I have time to write the post before I go to bed and the linky closes :)  I loved the inspiration photo for this weeks Merry Monday Challenge, so many possibilities and great colours.  I had a few ideas, but in the end only managed to get one card done.  

Here it is:

 Supplies:

Craftin Desert Divas Digital Stamp - Winter Village

MFT Stamps - Hand Lettered Holiday

MFT Die-namics - Stitched Arch Stax

Lawn Fawn Dies - Stitched Hillside Borders

Simon Says Stamp Stencil - Falling Snow

Distress Ink - Salty Ocean

Simon Says Stamp Dye Ink - Black

Dreamweaver Embossing Paste - White

Tim Holtz Distress Glitter - Clear Rock Candy

Zig Wink of Stella - Clear

The buildings and the trees are from a digital stamp set called Winter Village from Craftin Desert Diva's. What I love most about digi's is the fact you can resize them for your project, which I did here, making them smaller.  I coloured them in with copics and added rock candy to the snowy areas and fuzzy cut them out.

For the background I sponged some distress ink onto white cardstock and then applied the embossing paste, and then diecut the snow hills, and layered everything together. From this photo it is very hard to see the dimenson. I will take some more photos tomorrow in the daylight which will hopefully show this better.

I diecut the arch window directly out of the card front and then created the frame around it by using the two largest dies in the stax. The scene was then placed behind this. The sentiment was stamped directly onto the card base.

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes 49 
• Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge - April 
• Sweet Stampin Christmas - Anything Goes 

Thanks so much for popping by and taking a look. I hope you had/are having a great weekend.
Hugs Ax
