make it merry

The challenge at Cardz4galz #213 is to make a cityscape. For my example I decided to create a small Christmas scene using some small dies from an unbranded set. Firstly I used a piece of vellum which I inked slightly with Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire. I added a frame using dies from another unbranded set and some mirror CS and added the vellum and a shimmer snow piece in behind leaving it just loose enough to tuck the houses and a tree underneath. The church fit nicely on the hill and I used some fall out bits to add the illusion of snow which I sparkled using a pen. There is gold holographic paper behind the windows of the buildings. I die cut a lot of leaves from a Sizzix set that I’ve had for ages and added them around the frame as you see. There are a few punched branches in copper from an old Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is from a new set purchased yesterday and is by Spellbinders. I like how it looks and there is no stamping required.

This card was a fun one to make, but took a lot of time due to the design and the fiddly bits of the tiny scene. I am really pleased with the result, but in the future I won’t use vellum as it is too transparent. Thanks for stopping by, it is appreciated as are any comments you make.

I am adding this card into the https://peaceonearthchristmas.blogspot.com/.

  2. Love this…..your cityscape is adorable and well thought out. The variety of leaves framing your cityscape is an added plus as is that blended background layering panel. Awesome.

  4. I love this card! The fact that the vellum is transparent allows the leaves to show through, which looks like a woods behind it. It’s fantastic, but I can imagine it took a lot of time with all the different pieces you made and put together. Beautiful work.

  5. Gorgeous card. I like the holographic paper for the windows in the little buildings. Your foliage makes a nice frame. I know it took a lot of time but it is well worth the effort. This would make a nice home decor piece.
