Quilt Background

Hi there,

I created this cute quilt background card using the Karten-Kunst Nyala Script Gutschein and the hexagon from the Karten-Kunst Small Frames die set:

  • cut out a lot of hexagons from patterned paper using one of the dies from the Karten-Kunst Small Frames die set
  • use a piece of cardstock to assemble the quilt pattern
  • cut the quilt panel to size and adhere it to a kraft cardbase
  • cut out the Karten-Kunst Nyala Script Gutschein from vellum and from kraft cardstock and adhere it as a sentiment


Have a wonderful Christmas Time.

Hugs,

Christmas Wish

Hi there,

each year I chose a project that wishes you a very Merry Christmas. This time I created this clean and simple Christmas Card using the Anjas Basteltraum Adventsfuchs stamp set:

  • stamp the Anjas Basteltraum Adventsfuchs with Lawn Fawn Jet Black
  • color the image with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • stamp the sentiment from the Anjas Basteltraum Kleine Adventssprüche set with Versafine Clair Nocturne
  • add strips of colored cardstock and of patterned paper to the left and right side of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase


Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

Hugs,

Have a wonderful Christmas Time.
