Santa's coming by train!

Hi you all,

Christmas is coming soon, and Santa has already boarded the train - you never know how much delay there will be ;-)

I wanted to create a really long train, so I decided to go with an unusual card size. I cut a 10 by 30 cm stripe of kraft cardstock and scored it at 10 and 20 cm.

I then die-cut some white JoyCrafts glitter cardstock with the My Favorite Things Stitched Snow Drifts Die-Namics and splattered white Dylusions acrylic paint onto the cardstock to get the look of snow.

I stamped the images of the Special Delivery stamp set by Creative Expressions with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto white cardstock, colored them with Copic markers and cut them out.

Finally I glued the wagons in a row. 
And now pay attention at the platform, the train is going to leave! ;-)

Polar Pals

Hello crafty friends,
41 days till Christmas! Okay, 42 for those who celebrate on Dec 25th and not 24th like wie do here in Germany... Do you get as hectic as I do when thinking of all the Christmas cards that still have to be created till then? In contrast, these little polar guys look rather relaxed...

I created this little scene with the My Favorite Things Polar Pals stamp set. I love this set and had the idea that all the Polar animals should celebrate Christmas together. So I stamped the ice bear, one of the penguins and one seal first with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto white cardstock. Then I created masks for these images and stamped the second penguin, seal and igloo. Again some masking, then I added the trees.  

I colored everything with my Copic markers - yes, the background is created with Copic markers as well.

Some details were added with a white Sharpie pen. 

I added black Ranger Enamel Accents onto the noses to make them look glossy and wet.

The sentiment is from the Creative Expressions Festive Friends stamp set. I embossed it with white embossing powder. The snow flakes are tiny bits of Nuvo Crystal Drops gloss white.
I hope you like my card - and hey, relax, it's Christmas! ;-)

Green Moodboard

There's a new challenge at Cards und More. This time it's all about a color moodboard with greens, greys and black. I came up with this sympathy card. The German text says: There are moments in life when the world just stops for a second. And when it starts going round again, nothing is still the same.

The background is created with the My Favorite Things Drifts & Hills stencil, the foliage is die-cut with the Waffle Flower Greenery dies.
So please join the challenge and see the inspiration cards of the other DT members!
