FQCC April - Christmas Village

 Welcome to FarmQuest Country Christmas and our April challenge!

I dug through my stash for this card and found some house images to create a winter scene. 

The edges of the background were lightly inked in blue and I embossed that piece with a (sort of) falling snow embossing folder. Clear Stickles were added to many of the snowflakes. The base was covered with Astro Paste in a shimmery white. Once all the houses were assembled, I added white glitter paper to the roofs and the bottoms of the houses and drew some additional details on the roofs and doors. The Santa image was adhered at the top and a sentiment was placed at the bottom.

FQCC March - Cherish The Season Shaker Window

 Welcome to FarmQuest Country Christmas and our March challenge!

I recently received some winter scene cards and used one of those for the basis of my card. 

I die cut a frame with four windows and turned that into a shaker with the scene behind. The background was embossed with a woodgrain folder and I dragged a brown ink pad over top to enhance the pattern. The scene was set on white cardstock and adhered to the woodgrain panel. I added a hot foiled sentiment across the centre of the window.

FQCC February - Peace on Earth Scene

 Welcome to FarmQuest Country Christmas and our February challenge!

This is always a Christmas challenge with an outdoor theme. 

I used a set of stencils from Altenew to create the background. I wanted to stencil the trees but even my darkest green ink allowed the darker grey to show through so I did the stencilling on a separate sheet of white cardstock and fussy cut the trees. The church image was die cut and assembled and I placed that image on the trail. I added clear Stickles on various parts of the snow and coloured in the light on the lamp post. A white gel pen was used to add stars in the sky and the sentiment was placed at the top. I also added red and gold Stickles to the trees for some decoration. 

The same set of stencils (different parts) were used to create a second card, this one with winter trees. I created the layers in various shades of blue and stencilled the trees and added glitter paste on top. The house images were die cut, inked and assembled. I placed them along the trail and stamped the sentiment at the top. The hills were lined with clear Stickles.
