Hello ladies : ) I have a card I created that reminds me of something you would see on a vintage post card. I started with a red card base and then layered the "Swirl Cuts Background" cut from white cs on top because I thought it would be a good representation of the smoke and snow sure to be swirling when this train whizzes by! I colored the train with my Prisma pencils and shaded with Gamsol. Next I decided to add some texture with Snow-Tex and I really like how it turned out. Have you ever used this product? It is water soluble and dries hard and gives a really nice texture to snow!
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you are having a great weekend!

Love the imagery of the smoke and snow behind the train. Such a clever idea. And the colorful train is such a stand-out!
WOW is this ever amazing Patti! Love the pop of red among all of the frosty snow. Beautifully done, love this!
Beautiful card! I love the vintage feel and the texture you achieved with the die cut background and the snow. Wonderful work, my friend!
What a beautiful scene you've created on this card Patti! I just love the bright red train and snow and the textured snow swirls...lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
That is an awesome scene and I love the snow you added with the Snow-Tex. I had never heard of that product before but it sure makes a realistic looking snow. You did a wonderful job making this masculine card design.
The vintage style is very evident with your image but that gorgeous background of swirly cuts sets it in current time. I love this, Patti! with your touch of holly and the red against black & white you've created a stunner! Happy thanksgiving!
Love your idea of using the Swirl Cut Background die to represent the snow and smoke! Wonderful card!
