My MTTCC #97 Christmas Train Theme DT project on 11 October 2024

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose: This  posting shares my latest manager/DT contribution for inspiration at My Time To Craft Christmas challenge blog! One of the design team members suggested a trains/Polar Express kind of holiday theme. 

when: #97 starts October 11th and lasts for 13 days of competition.

what: "All Aboard For A Wintery Christmas!"

notes: focal image was AI-generated using Microsoft Bing's Image Creator

1. image was downloaded then sized to 4" square for printing on white paper; 

2. image was embellished with white paint pen on the top side of the frame (Art Skills)

3. red glitter foam bow sticker added for accent color (Crafter's Square)

4. framing/perimeter outlining with black dual-tip marker (Art Skills)

5. bright blue paper and red paper = Pen + Gear

6. black cardstock = Neenah (5" square)

7. corners embellished with crystal-cut gems in 2 sizes and 2 colors for a different accent look = Crafter's Square
