Christmas or Winter Buildings Challenge for Winter Wonderland for the 5th of July, 2019

Hi All! At Winter Wonderland this month, we are hosted by Deanne, who has chosen the theme:
Christmas or Winter Buildings!
Think cottages, cabins, houses, churches, igloos, even gingerbread houses and lots of snow!

So here is my card:


Please remember that is it Christmas projects only and they must include the theme.

We are sponsored this month by....

Etsy shop - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TwinkleLaneDesigns
Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/145707866223056/


Twinkle Lane Designs was started in 2015 - created by Suzanne Porter BA (Hons) Graduate in Fashion Enterprise.  I have always been creative, I love all types of crafts, sewing, papercraft, drawing. As an avid cardmaker I created Twinkle Lane so I could make unique characters and papers to make wonderful cards.

The prize on offer for the challenge winner is:
a choice of 3 items from the Twinkle Lane Designs Etsy Shop - either
- 3 digi stamps
- 3 digital paper packs or
- a mix of digi stamps and papers

So back to my card:
I digitally printed Christmas Lodge on to X-Press It blending card, which I then cut out using my paper cutter (need to get a new cutter part!). I have coloured the image with the following Copics markers:
  • trees - E55, E57, E59, G21, YG17, YG67, G99, Wink of Stella in purple, brown & pink
  • stars - Y11, Y15, yellow Wink of Stella
  • snow - C1, Y11, B91, B95
  • lodge - E53, E55, E57, E59, E49 (browns); G02, G05, G17 (greens); R24, R27, R29 (reds); Y11, Y15 (yellows)
  • sky - C1, B91, B95, B97, B99
  • smoke - C2, silver Wink of Stella
  • outline - B97
I printed a few of the Winter Forest Digital Papers at Officeworks (too much ink for my printer) and adhered one of the blue ones to a square card from Envelope Solutions.
Then I digitally stamped the sentiment "Let there be Peace on Earth" from Snowy Church Digital Stamp Set at Power Poppy.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:
