Hallo allemaal,

Gisteren voordat ik ging werken nog even een kaart gemaakt, ik wilde nog een kaart maken voor de schets challenge van My Favorite Things en ik heb nog geen kerstkaarten gemaakt deze maand dus daar zat ik gisterenochtend nog even heerlijk te knutselen.

Ik maakte met distress inkt, water en een acrylic paint marker de achtergrond en stanste deze uit. Maakte er een gat in en haalde er twine doorheen. 

Stanste uit grijs cardstock de bergen en bewerkte dit met geso, stanste de bomen en het sneeuw en plakte dit alles op de tag.

Stempelde de kerstman en kleurde deze in. Knipte hem uit en plakte hem op de tag. Heat emboste het sentiment en stanste het uit met een banner stans. Maakte een basis kaart van wit cardstock en plakte daar het designpapier op.

Fijne dag allemaal!

Groet, Marieke

Krafty Peeks day 3: Monster Mash

Hello all,

Welcome back to Day THREE of our August Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! Today we are showcasing a set by artist Melissa called Monster Mash!

It's a set with no sentiments but all kinds of heads, body's and legs to create your own monsters.

This time around i made a series of ATC cards to use almost all of them! So first of i made the background using distress inks, two stencils and some side stamps from a different brand.

Did some stitching on the edges and also used some washi tape to complement the black bit on the images. Stamped and colored the images and cut them on the line this time. Glued them together and put them on the cards.

Used the sentiments from a different Kraftin' Kimmie set. Stamped those and cut the sentiment apart. Glued them on the card and gave them an extra touch using a black fineliner.

Have a lovely day!
