Sunny Studio - Gingerbread Holiday Express

Hello there,

I'm back with this lovely gingerbread themed card featuring images from different sets, which is my favorite thing to do when I make cards, I really love how the Sunny Studio stamp sets can be mixed to create super cute scenes!

I started off by stamping the images on light kraft cardstock instead of the usual white cardstock because for some reason when I color gingerbread themed images I like to use kraft cardstock. I cut them all with the coordinating dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Holiday Express - locomotive, wagons, presents, smoke, holly, connecting pieces • Christmas Cookies - gingerbread characters (wagons) • Baking Spirit Bright - gingerbread character (locomotive) • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowflakes.

I added highlights and details to the images with a white gel pen, and next I worked on the background. I cut a scalloped panel out of the same cardstock as the images using a Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die and added texture to that panel using the Dotted Diamond Landscape die. I applied vintage photo and ground espresso distress inks to my scalloped panel edges, next I mixed some vintage photo distress ink with water and added brown splatters all over the panel, I did the same with vintage photo distress spritz for sparkles, and then the same again with copic opaque white ink for contrast. When my panel was dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light kraft panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a card base using liquid glue.

I cut a banner out of dark brown cardstock using a Notebook Photo Corners die, white heat embossed "Have a holly jolly Christmas" from Build A Greeting Holidays on it, attached that banner to my card using 1mm foam squares, and finally the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.
