Happy Holiday Train Slimline card

I am not really one for slimline cards, however I felt it necessary in order to create this card.  I wanted to use the train die set that came with the Spellbinders All Aboard Limited Edition Christmas 2021 kit   

This card was so much fun to create!  I started by creating my background.  I cut a round mask from the Gina K  Masking Magic Sheets and placed it where I wanted the moon to be.  Then using a domed blender, and Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Salty Ocean distress inks,, I blended a lovely night sky.  I then removed the masking paper to reveal a bright white moon.  Next I cut some white glitter paper to create a snowy affect on the ground.  I stamped the sign post onto X-press it Blending Cardstock using the Simon Says Stamp Christmas Cheer Stamp Set.  It was colored with copic markers, fussy cut and adhered to the card.  

Next I used the Spellbinders Die of the Month APG for Nov18 which has unfortunately retired, but I had it in my stash.  Hopefully you have something similar that you could use.  I cut it from black cardstock and adhered it across the moon as shown in the picture. 

The "Happy Holidays" was stamped  using clear pigment ink and the Stamp Simply Floral Cluster Winter Poinsettia stamp set, then heat embossed with white embossing powder. 

I then used the train die from the All Aboard Christmas set and cut out all the pieces from various colors of cardstock.  I assembled the train and popped it up on the card using foam squares.  I wanted my train to look a little bit more Christmassy, so I stamped some  holly and berries from the Doodle Stamps Christmas Magic Stamp set onto  X-press it Blending Cardstock and colored them with my copic markers, They were then fussy cut and adhered to my train as shown in the photo.  

All and all, I love this train die set.  It  has a ton of pieces, but is worth it once all put together.  You will be seeing more of this train die set in future cards I  am sure!
