Hello everyone, Marine here, back with a soft winter wonderland slimline card.

I started by cutting my background elements out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock: a panel measuring 8-1/8 x 3,5″ and also some hill borders that I cut using the Ocean Waves Scene Horizontal die. And the distress inks I used to create my winter sky on the slimline panel are tumbled glass, shaded lilac and wilted violet.

Once I was happy with the ink blending, I splattered water on the paper to create texture, I also made the sky super shiny using liquid stardust all over the panel, and then, to bring contrast to the sky I mixed some wilted violet, tumbled glass and chipped sapphire distress inks with water and used a thin brush to create tiny drops on my paper.

I wanted to keep the hills pretty simple so I just applied a little bit of tumbled glass and blueprint sketch distress inks on the top edge of each element.

Once everything was completely dry, I assembled the borders on my sky panel, starting from the bottom and using liquid glue.

Next I stamped and cut my images from Snowball Fight, Frosty Littles and Christmas is coming. And like always I used my alcohol markers to color everything.

When the coloring was done, I attached the trees and the house on the background using foam squares, and before sticking the remaining images, I wanted to bring more sparkles to the trees so I applied liquid glue on those images and sprinkled fine glitter on the glue.

And then I attached the remaining critters using foam squares again. Finally I placed my panel in my misti tool and stamped my sentiment “All is calm, all is bright” from Quiet Christmas using black versafine ink.

And that’s it, a sweet winter wonderland featuring some cuties going back home with a big tree to decorate all together. I leave you with the video (click on the picture below) and I wish a very nice day. See you next time!
