As you have probably read by now, The Cat's Pajamas is closing its doors at the end of the year. Alma has been in business for 23 years. And a remarkable 23 years it has been beginning with physical product then moving on to digital only. I am sad to see it go but also happy for all the life changes for Alma personally.
Now for my card. I started out by printing the candy cane food truck from the Tis the Season digital set onto a card base using Silhouette software. I did this so I could use it as a guide and also so I wouldn't need a mask in order to blend festive berries and spun sugar distress ink around the truck. I then printed the truck again and the candy cane penguin from the Baby It's Cold Outside set onto Copic X-Press It cardstock. After coloring the images with Copic markers I fussy cut both out. I splattered both images as well as the blending background with a combo of white acrylic paint and water using a fan brush to emulate snow. All images were attached using foam dimensionals but before adhering the truck, I added a piece of acetate for the "window". I trimmed half and inch off the right edge of the card base and attached a piece of patterned paper on the inside edge of the card. A trio of sequins added a bit of sparkle.
