Winter Sledding!

 

Hi There! Happy to be here on this Autumn Friday. 

Snow is just around the corner and I just love this vintage sled die that I purchased from Stamp Simply...Tim Holtz Sizzix Vintage Sled, along with the fun decorator paper pad by Carta Bella--Winter Time, also available at Stamp Simply. And, let's not forget that wonderful sentiment that is part of Stamp Simply's Christmas Stockings and Mittens stamp set!

Let me tell you about putting this card together. 

I started by die cutting parts of the sled from red and kraft cardstock. The boards on the sled have etched wood grain, so after cutting the shape, I blended some Tim Holtz Ranger Oxide ink over the surface to highlight and darken them. 

I die cut the smaller pieces from the die set with white cardstock, and Copic colored them. You could also die cut those pieces from cardstock scraps, but I chose to do the quicker by using the white cardstock.

The base of the card is covered with Carta Bella's Winter Time decorator paper...perfect for the sled focal point! 

I stamped the snowy sentiment onto white cardstock with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Lumberjack Plaid ink, then die cut it with a circle die. 

What a fun card to make! The sled is easy to put together, and I am just thrilled with the outcome.
