Hello Stampers!  Today's card is for the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the Inspiration Picture that I found:

For my card I started with the red truck.  I stamped and colored in the red truck and then punched it out.  Next I stamped the tree for the back of the truck and fussy cut it out and adhered it to the truck.  From here I decided to cut out my focal panel.  I stamped the ground under the truck with sahara sand ink.  Then I punched out the Evergreen Tree border punch and added snow with a white gel pen.  I figured out where I was going to put the evergreens and made a mark on the focal panel.  I did this so I knew where to stop blending the sky.  After the sky was blended I used the acrylic paint and a bit of water mixed together and flicked on some snow (I masked off the bottom of the card when I did this.) Next I worked on the sentiment.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment strip, and I added some twine with a bitty bow.  To finish the card I adhered it altogether.  

That's all for now!!  Thanks for stopping by!!
