Hello and welcome.  It's time for new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we are sponsored by  Newton's Nook Stamps and I would like to thank them for sponsoring this week's challenge.  My card this week features the adorable All Aboard For Christmas and the matching dies found here. 

After dealing with mine and my husband's health issues, I'm finally getting some stamping done again even if it's really slow going.  Since I work on Christmas cards year round, I have been itching to get this set out and see what I could do with it (NBUS).

I started out by stamping the engine and cars onto a scrap piece of slimline card stock before stamping all of my animals and train gears onto scrap white card stock then colored everything using Castle Art pencils.  Once all of my coloring was finished, I added the clouds using a slimline stencil and Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink and the ground using Tim Holtz mowed lawn, brushed corduroy, and tea stain distress inks before lightly adding some picket fence distress ink as "early snowfall".  A black artist pen created the "train track".  I then die cut all of the animals and gears using my big shot before adding them to the card using pop dots and dimensionals.  After layering the main image panel onto scrap slimline card stock, I added the final touches of snowflake sequins and a recycled red ribbon.  A Sakura 3D glaze pen highlights parts of all the images.  I'm really happy with how it turned out since I'm still feeling a bit crummy.
