Hi there,

I created this Christmas Card for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

  • ink up a card panel with Distress Oxide Ink Evergreen Bough and Uncharted Mariner
  • stamp the Karten-Kunst Skyline Winter Village and the sentiment from the Schriftzug-Set Feiertage with Versafine Clair Nocturne
  • add some golden and white splatters
  • before adhering the panel to a cardbase add strips of black and foiled cardstock to the left and right side of it

Thanks for stopping by.

Time for Us

Hi there,

I created this fun Christmas Card using the Avery Elle Mr. and Mrs. Claus stamp set for Mennys Bastelshop:

  • stamp the main image and some accessories from the Avery Elle Mr. and Mrs. Claus set and the North Pole sign from the Lawn Fawn Penguin Party set with Lawn Fawn Jet Black
  • ink up the edges of the panel with some left-over blue and grey ink
  • color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
  • stamp the sentiment from the Create a Smile Stamps Kleine Weihnachtsgrüße set with Versamark onto a strip of blue cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
  • layer that blue strip onto a slightly wider strip of pink cardstock
  • add some clear sequins with Nuvo Glitter Drops White Blizzard in their centers as final embellishments

Have a wonderful day.
