Our sponsor this time is
who gave the DT some cute images to play with. These images come in sets so you get a lot of digis for your money.
I chose to use North Pole Express
- this choice was very much influenced by a super card that the very talented Chrissy made a few weeks back- I am in awe of this super-talented, entertaining and very creative lady and if you haven't visited her blog before you are missing out! Thank you so much for the inspiration Chrissy.
The card base is a long one to fit the train on, I've folded it twice and it does fit into an A5 envelope. The background sky is snowflake patterned DP with a few die cut snowflakes added. I found a small piece of textured white handmade paper that I thought would make excellent snow so very carefully eked it out to fit along the bottom of the card, hopefully the joins don't show too much! The train track is one of the digis included in the set, I printed it onto a grey wood-grained DP enough times to stretch along the card, used Then fussy cut it to let the 'snow' show through the rails (took ages!) I've used 5 more of the images from the set, printed them onto mixed media paper, coloured with watercolour pens and a white gel pen and added a bit of glitter here and there. All fussy cut. There were some gaps in the snow around Santa's feet so I used some Inkylicious Fluffy Puffy to cover them up. There are 2 more images in this set that I didn't use- all for £1.50!
Please hop over to Crafty Catz to see the fabulous cards my teamies have created using these cute sponsor images-and it would be great if you chose to join in this week.
Thanks for visiting
Have a lovely weekend
