Paper design inspiration

Hi!

It's Anja here. We got a terrible Sunday weather today here in Slovenia. Rainy and foggy, but perfect for crafting. And crafting is what I'm doing today. I was organizing my Christmas stash and found a fun pack of papers with holiday designs. Two of them caught my eye. I immediately knew which dies to pair them with.

 - Cottage Cutz dies (Santa Napping, Christmas Flamingo, Nested Stitched Scallop Circle Set, Nested Stitched Scallop Oval Set),
- Distress Inks (Fired Brick, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Pumice Stone, Black Soot) ans Oxides (Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, Vintage Photo, Antique Linen),
- craft and white card base (15x15 cm and 10,5x15 cm),
- design paper,
- white, black and red card stock for die cuts,
- Zig markers (grey and flesh shades),
- colored pens (black, green, yellow, red),
- paper glue.

This is the pack of papers I used for my inspiration. I cut two pieces of each. Ones are 14x14 cm and
the others 10x14,5 cm. I used Distress Oxides around the edges.

Then I die cut all the pieces for Santa. This time I also used red and black card stock. Santa was quite a challenge and additional instructions given to the die really helped. I colored him with the combination of Distress Inks and Oxides and different colored pens.

I made the flamingo in the same way as Santa. I die cut all the pieces from white paper.

I also die cut two ovals and two circles. I used one for the outside and the other for the inside of the card.

When I had everything cut and colored I used glued it together and made two cards. 

This is all from me today. I hope you have a crafty Sunday.
Anja Z.
