Winter Scene Digi Card

I took the image and brought it into Inkscape...resized to the size I desired for my project.  I then duplicated the image....imported in my registration marks.....then traced over the parts of the image I wanted to cut out with my Black Cat Lynx Cutter... "Sable".........Once I had the areas drawn out I closed the layer to cut out and then printed off the images with the registration marks on the paper......

BEFORE I cut out I decided to go ahead and color my piece..... to color this I chose to use watercolor pencils and the edges I distressed with my Zutter Distressing tool as well as Distress Inks in Tattered Rose and Pumice Stone.....Once I had the coloring completed I placed on my cutting mat and then did the print and cut technique with my "Sable" with Signcut software..... you'll notice the pieces I cut out were 2 of the houses and a tree.... I just wanted to give the card a little pop.....

Once all was cut out I then took my base image piece and layered over a piece of decorative paper and adhered with my ATG gun..... then I ran through my sewing machine to stitch around the edges..... I then took some lace and wrapped around the card base and a layer of decorative paper....adhered with my ATG gun... used foam dots to adhere the decorative layer....BEFORE adding the ribbon I used stickles in Rock Candy and Frosted lace all over the card to give a glistening snow look..... then used dimensional paint for the "snow" all over the image......
