Candy-Striped Merry Christmas

Hi there,

here is another Christmas Card using the Karten-Kunst Das rockt Frohes Fest die set:

• create your own striped cardstock using green, red and white cardstock stripes
• cut out the background from the Karten-Kunst Das rockt Frohes Fest die set from this DIY paper
• cut out the letters from Neenah Desert Storm kraft cardstock, stamp the Karten-Kunst Sternenschweif with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• cut out two green frames and two kraft circles using the Karten-Kunst Small Frames die set
• stamp images from the Karten-Kunst Mini Frames Christmas into the circles and color them with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers
• add little snow dots with a white gel pen
• cut out a background panel from Neenah Desert Storm kraft cardstock using one of the Karten-Kunst Stitched DIN lang dies
• cover a cardbase with patterned paper and add the other layers on top
• use watered-down white gouache to create some splatters

I hope you got inspired.

Have a wonderful Advent Sunday.

• use the My favorite Things Blueprints 20 die set and patterned paper form the My favorite Things Christmas Cheer 6x6 paper pack to create a backdrop
• the sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn Winter Big Scripty Words set - stamped with Versamark, heat-embossed with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder and die cut
• adhere all the elements to a kraft cardbase splattered with watered-down white acrylic paint
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink Gathered Twigs
