GDT Kort O'Mania: Gavepose

Da er det tid for mitt 2 og siste bidrag som månedens gjestedesigner hos Kort O'Mania. Det har vært ytterst spennende å få være med og jeg er glad for at jeg ble spurt. Det er en ære å få designe sammen med disse talentfulle damene her.

It's time for my second and final contribution as guest designer for the month at Kort O'Mania. It has been utterly exiting to join the girls and I am so greatful for being asked to join in. It is such an honour to design with their talented designteam.

Denne gangen er utfordringen å lage og/eller dekorere en gavepose og jeg valgte å dekorere en gavepose til jul. Dette var en ytterst herlig oppgave å jobbe med og en nytelse å kunne få bruke denne anledningen til å lage noe kjekt til jul.

This time the challenge is to make and/or decorate a giftbag and I chose to decorate a giftbag for christmas. This was such a delightful task to work with and such a pleasure to use this opportunity to make something nice for christmas.

Her er min gavepose:
