Hello everyone,
I was having a play last week and saw some challenges I could enter and went with using up leftovers which is always a good thing...
These trucks I made and never got to use..
I rusted them up with inks..but the hole in the tyre, or wheel bugged me,
so decided to make some better tyres..
I die cut some small circles, but there didn't work too well..
one circle was pretty good so cut it in black then used my hand held punch..
and cut in silver mirror card then glued that small bit on the bigger bit and made new tyres..
So, trucks were put into a tray to use, but never did,
and on this day, I found this picture of a barn and snow
and also saw a challenge, so went from there..
I wanted a bigger fence, so using this log die, I cut it several times..
and started to build a fence.
Added a tree into the back of my truck..
snowed up the fence, now truck and fence were done..
and as the picture was already cut, I couldn't make a whole page scene,
but went with what I had..
and started with making snow mounds at the end of the driveway.
added the fence..
then poked the truck in behind the fence, just a bit.
So to me, it looks like the truck is driving past after buying his Christmas tree.
I added snow drops in the sky with Nuvo crystal drops.
a little dusting of snow on the tree tips..sorry its a little blurry, if you just squint a bit you can see it better..
then I just couldn't stop there, I had to add trees, layered trees..
Then stood back and stared at my card for a awhile..
Finally added a small sentiment up the top,
I tried it in lots of places, but this was the final decision.
So there you go..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..
luv CHRISSYxx

Oh my this turned out so gorgeous Chrissy! I LOVE the way you've done your truck along with the fence and the glittery snow covering it! That photo was the perfect backdrop to find with this scene! So beautiful!
I'm agreeing with all the previous comments! :) The barn scene and how you incorporated it into a larger scene is fantastic! Creating a believable foreground setting was key and you did it marvelously! Your solution for the truck tires is perfect! All the elements are working together for a winter wonderland! Thanks for participating in the 1st competition at FarmQuest Country Christmas! --Becca
