I love the way this card turned out, it reminds me of the olden days when sleighs were the transportation in the winter.

I first drew a circle with a white pen to create the ornament. After the circle I used my blending brush and white ink and created the whiteness around the circle.  For the next step I used dark brown ink and stamped the horse and sleigh.  I added a white circle to be the moon at the top and then used my brush and tapped off some white paint to be snowflakes.

For the top of the ornament I stamped green sprigs around the top and added red glitter paint for some berries.  At the bottom I used gold embossing ink for the sentiment and on the inside as well.

If you have ever made a side step card you know how hard it is the line up the cuts and folds so they close correctly.  Well these cards are made by a faux method, not much cutting is needed.

Instead of the cutting you add a smaller piece to the front of the card and lap it over to the back. I created a whimsical and nativity card using this method. To write a message you can add a piece of white paper to the inside or add it to the back.

For this card I wanted to think of the peace and quiet of the woods.  This card to me evokes peace and quiet.

I first die cut the trees and then layered a dark blue background to feel like the beginning of night time.  The next step was to die cut a scallop and stamp “Let Heaven and Nature Sing.” To finish off the card I added a couple of rhinestones for a little bling.
