Happy Saturday everyone! Today, I tried a new technique for myself. As some of you know, I LOVE to color with my prismacolored pencils but for this card, I decided not to use any. It was VERY difficult for me but I had to try. I built a scene card...Yes, no colored pencils, just stamps and paper piecing!
I used the Alley Way stamps Christmas Express, a set that I won from one of their FB contest. I absolutely adore this set! I chose to play with the colors from the picture below (red, blue, orange and beige).
Here's a tutorial on how I did this:
- Cut your base at 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".
- Cut some hills from your dp.
- Fussy cut the train, trees, candy canes and window.
- Adhere hills and train using adhesives and dimensionals.
- Stamp the dotted lines 3x.
- Cut banner, stamp "Merry Christmas" and adhere.
- Add stickles on hills and pearls on wheels.
- Doodle around banner and star on train.
