Winter wonderland with houses

Hello everyone and happy new year to you!!!

Today it's not just the start of the new year but the start of a new challenge at the Country View Challenges called: Landscape or Cityscape. As you see, I made a card with a wintry cityscape or rather a townscape.


To make this card, I cut out a rectangle and coloured them with Ranger Distress inks.


Then with the snowflake background die I created a snowfall on my card. For this, I used the Winder Wonderland Sizzix Thinlits die.


Then I adhered this on a white card base with glue.


From white cardstock, I cut out the houses with the Sizzix Townscape die and the snowdrift with the Sizzix Home For The Holidays Thinlits die.

I arranged them on the card, I took a photo that I used when I attached them to the card permanently. 


I put a layer of DecoArt Snow-tex on the snowdrift but you can use Ranger Grittpaste as well.


I adhered grey cardstock pieces behind the houses with glue and from the same grey cardstock I cut out the birds using the Sizzix Scarecrow die set.

I inked the edges of the houses with Antique Linen and with Gathered Twigs the card edges.

I spattered the whole card with white acrylic paint.


What I used:

Sizzix On-The-Edge die, Townscape by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Home For The Holiday by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Winter Wonderland by Tim Holtz

Sizzix Thinlits die, Scarecrow by Tim Holtz

Idea-Ology, Small Talk Sticker Book, Occasions

Ranger Distress ink pads (Antique Linen, Weathered Wood, Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Frayed Burlap)

DecoArt Snow-Tex paste

Stapler

etc.

  8. Ooh, lovely texture for the snow and I love how you've used the cut-out die to create even more texture in the sky.
