Day 19 - "Q"

I have this fabulous embossing folder in my collection that adds a wonderful quilted texture to my card stock. To really emphasise the design, I added some clear versamark ink to one side of the folder, embossed on a piece of kraft card stock, and then heat set white embossing powder over the pattern.


YOUR TURN: Create a card or papercraft project using the letter "Q" as your prompt.

  1. oh no, is it already time for Q, at the beginning of the challenge I collected my already printed and stamped christmas images and found four of the same images and thought they will be great for Q for Quartet, but I haven't colored one yet. Time flies by so quick when your having fun!
    Your card is beautiful, love the soft coloring of the gnome and a fantastic background folder!

  4. Oh my goodness!! What a clever idea. I never would have thought of that. I love the little snowflakes on the gnome's hat and the dots on the presents. I learn a lot from you about those little details. Lovely card!

  10. Your gnome looks rather joyful with his presents! I love the background and would love to know where you got the quilted embossing folder. Great pattern! It would make a beautiful quilt for a bedspread! Love the color combination too!

  12. Before surgery quilting was my favorite way to spend down time. I'm so glad that I finally found card making. It's a whole lot quicker to make a card but oh how I miss quilting. Picking out the beautiful fabrics. I'm forever thankful that my Sunday School teacher taught me how to hand quilt and sew a pretty decent straight line.

  14. Beautiful embossingfolder. It looks like knitting (when I was a young girl my mother always knitted the most wonderful jumpers, and this pattern reminds me of one of them). She is 94 now and is still knitting (but not as complexed as then).
    Love the gnome!

  17. The softest of greens makes for a lovely feel to this card. Your colouring on the gnome is awesome, the folds seem to have loads of texture.

  18. Oooo, I want that fabulous embossing folder, Becky! You did beautiful work with the white EP. I think maybe I can use one of my quilting dies (when I finally catch up and get to "Q" this weekend. I have three relatively empty days starting today which I can dedicate to Christmas cards and I'm determined to fill in those blank spaces (since I haven't been working in alphabetical order!) Thanks for the inspiration on "Q." :-D
