Hi, crafty friends! I have a Christmas card to share today, created for the Kort & Godt gallery blog.

I used a large pennant die (Die 178) to die cut the image (MA 1030), and I wanted it to be the focus on my card. Onto a top fold white card base, I adhered an embossed panel of Eucalyptus cardstock from Concord & 9th (dry embossed with the berries & boughs embossing folder from C9). I stamped the S-196 Nordpolen postmark stamp from Kort & Godt using Dark Chocolate ink from Papertrey Ink on opposite corners of the pennant, using double and triple generation stamping for a softer look on some of them.

I took some white cotton thread (TR-104) and removed a few of the strands to make it thinner, before coloring it with Eucalyptus ink from Concord & 9th to match the background panel. I also thinned it down so it would go more easily through the button holes on the button (KN567 Juleglede 18 mm). I wrapped it twice around the pennant and mounted the pennant in the center of the card using lots of foam tape. I then dug out some sentiment stickers (ST1015). These are white with black printing, but I ink blended with Eucalyptus ink to make them match everything else, before finishing off with a few faceted pearls (ST179).
