For my card today I am using and adorable stamp set called All Aboard For Christmas, which was part of their October release. This is such a cute stamp se,t and also comes with a dog and a cat to add to the train. I really had a hard time deciding which animals to use since I couldn't fit all four on a card. I finally decided to go with the reindeer and the cute fox.
For my background, I used Broken China and Peacock Feathers Distress ink on Bristol Board. I speckled with water, and then with some white ink. All of the images were colored with Copic markers, and I added some details with white acrylic paint. I added a snowy hill in the background, and then a strip of black and white striped pattern paper for my train track, then adhered the train and cars with foam tape.
The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder on black card stock, and cut out with a banner die, then adhered with foam tape. I just love how this turned out!
