Hi everyone!

I have the great honor of being a guest designer at Once Upon A Time this month.

The challenge is inspired by the book "The Polar Express"  (see below)

...and since Tuesday is not far away, I will also use this card as my weekly Katzelkraft project.

It wasn't easy to get the Northern Lights the way I wanted, but in the end I'm really happy with the result. 

To obtain the night sky with the magical light, I used different Distress Oxide colors (see below). I then stamped the fir trees with Tranquil Tide (SU). - I had to stamp and cut out the fir trees on the right separately because they were not silhouette stamps. The same goes for the little girl and the locomotive.

I then colored them with watercolors and alcohol ink markers. 

After gluing on the cut-out pieces, I splattered the card with gesso and added a few accents here and there with a white Posca pen. The sentiment comes from a pad of printed lettering and quotes.

I really enjoyed making this card :))

I hope you like it and perhaps you'll find some time to paly along with the Once Upon a Time challenge.

Have a wonderful first day of Advent!
