I cut the stripe to a preferable size and glued it on a white top folded cardstock paper.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Then I stamped a sentiment from <b><a href="https://www.uniko.co.uk/product/bee-happy-clear-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Uniko 'Bee Happy' clear stamp set</a></b> on a white cardstock paper panel.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I wanted to add some dimension and raise a bit the panel, but I was lazy to glue tiny foam squares (it takes ages... my least favorite part of cardmaking). I cut two rectangles from the white cardstock paper, slightly smaller than the panel, glued them together and glued the panel on top. I glued everything on the card base. Perfect! Done in couple minutes, dimension achieved and no foam used. LOL :o) </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Next up were bees. I used super cute tiny Bee from <b><a href="https://stores.purpleoniondesigns.com/stacey-yacula-studio-net-butterfly-bee/" target="_blank">Purple Onion Designs, Stacey Yacula Studio 'Net, Butterfly and Bee' rubber stamps</a></b>. So so cute. I stamped the bee on the white cardstock paper twice, fussy cut bees leaving white thin border around them. Then I stamped bees on a </span>watercolor paper and colored them in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. I fussy cut bees, traced edges with a black marker and glued watercolored bees over bees stamped on the cardstock paper.

I printed the paper A4 size and cut it to a desirable size panel. I saved the rest of the patterned paper for future projects.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I wrapped the patterned paper panel with a vellum paper and glued it on a white top folded card base.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Then I printed the sweater image twice, one in white and second in blue color. I fussy cut the blue sweater and added more color to it. I ink blended entire sweater with a Distress Ink Blueprint Sketch and colored details with a white gel pen and various blue fine liners.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I was satisfied with the sweater color, I glued the colored sweater over the white one and fussy cut it, leaving white thin border around it. </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Then I worked on sentiment, but I didn't like it and change it after my stamps arrived. First version was printed in blue, but it looked </span>weird<span style="font-family: inherit;">. I heat embossed the sentiment 'Merry Christmas' in white on a black cardstock paper and cut it to a desirable stripe. </span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lastly, I assembled my card.

I also cut 3 more panels from the Kraft paper. I glued (stacked) two panels together. I did this to add some dimension on my card, as I don't have any foam sheet in my stash and to glue 3-D foam squares on the entire panel was not an option. I glued the stamped panel on stacked panels and glued them on the card base.

I cut 4 panels slightly smaller than the panel with stamped background and glued (stacked) them together. I did this to add some dimension on my card, as I didn't have enough foam to do that. I glued the stamped panel on stacked panels and glued them on the card base. Last, 5th panel, I glued inside the card to make it sturdier.</span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;">Then </span><span style="color: #333333;">I </span><b style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">stamped</b><span style="color: #333333;"> a fig on a thick watercolor paper and</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">colored it in </span><b style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">watercolor technique </b><span style="color: #333333;">with Distress Inks.

When it comes to fresh figs, I like one variety, don't know how it's called, but those figs have greenish/yellowish skin. But when it comes to dried figs, I can't stop eating them. Absolutely my favorite dried fruit. :o)</div><div style="color: black;"><br /></div><div style="color: black;">In Dalmatia, region of Croatia, they make delicious dried fig cake called <b>Smokvenjak</b>. It is my favorite energy snack.</div><div style="color: black;"><br /></div><div style="color: black;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="color: #93c47d;">"When compared with other fruit, the juicy and filling fig holds a special place in Dalmatian cuisine. During summer there is no sweeter taste than a freshly picked fig full of sweet juice which serves as a refreshment from the heat, the sea and the sun. Apart from eating them fresh, lots of picked figs are dried every year in order to preserve them during winter, when they are eaten on their own or in numerous tasty cakes. One of these is the fig cake, which used to be an everyday snack for field workers because it provides plenty of energy. Nowadays it is prepared for holidays or celebrations and is served as an aperitif before meals.</span></i></span></div><i><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The traditional fig cake is considered to have originated on Croatian islands which abound in fig trees. This sweet dessert requires only a couple of ingredients, but it is very filling and delicious, and stays fresh for a long time which is why it has often been prepared as a travel snack. As its name indicates, fig cake or </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; overflow-wrap: break-word;">hib </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">is prepared from dried figs, mixed with almonds, brandy or maraschino, powdered sugar and bay leaf for more flavour. The figs are first cut into small pieces or ground, and then combined with roasted and crushed almonds. Brandy is added to the mixture slowly and carefully so that all the ingredients blend well. The packed mixture of almonds and figs is formed into loaves and sprinkled with fresh bay leaves, or other Mediterranean plants such as rosemary or sage.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">The basic recipe for fig cake can be altered according to taste, preferences and circumstances, so that instead of brandy the juice of any citrus fruit can be added, such as orange juice and its zest, or fennel seeds, different spices, as well as walnuts and raisins. Fig cake can be eaten immediately, but in order to be able to cut it, the moulded fig cakes need to be dried for some time. Nowadays this is done in the oven on low temperatures for up to an hour, so that the fig cake becomes a little harder. Individual fig cakes are wrapped in paper to prevent them from drying and for easier storage and transportation. These days, fig cakes are a popular souvenir among tourists in Croatia."</span></span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Source: </span><span style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://croatia.hr/en-GB/experiences/gastronomy-and-enology/fig-cake">https://croatia.hr/en-GB/experiences/gastronomy-and-enology/fig-cake</a></b></span></span></div></i></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>If you'll be visiting Croatia or will find Smokvenjak in a grocery store or have an option to buy it online, I would highly recommend to buy it.

To create my own patterned paper, I randomly stamped a teapot and tea mugs on die-cut pieces in </span><b>watermark stamping technique </b><span style="color: #333333;">using VersaMark Watermark Ink. </span><span style="color: #333333;">I mixed a white tempera color with a bit of water and </span><b style="color: #333333;">splattered </b><span style="color: #333333;">the patterned paper and left it dry on air. After drying I assembled the goodie bag.</span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;">Next up was the teapot image. It's so pretty!! :o) </span></div><div><br /></div></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">I </span><b style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">stamped</b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"> the teapot on a watercolor paper and </span><span style="color: #333333;">fixed some lines with a black fine liner, as I didn't stamp entire image well. I </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">colored the teapot in </span><b style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">watercolor technique </b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">with Distress Inks. After drying, I </span><b style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">fussy cut</b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"> the teapot and traced edges with a black marker.</span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">Then I stamped the teapot again on a white cardstock paper. I fussy cut the teapot, leaving white border around it. I glued the watercolored teapot over it. </span></span><span style="color: #333333;">I did this to make the image thicker, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin and I needed thicker image. </span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333;">I wanted a simple look of the teapot, so I left floral details white. I just run with a white gel pen over white parts, to hide tiny smears of yellow. :o)</span></div><div><br />If you follow my blog, you know I love dimension on my projects. This one was no exception. :o) I glued 3-D foams on the back of the teapot and glued it on the front side of the bag. :o)</div><div><br /></div><div>I left the back side of the bag without additional image.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ZoTFKchK_2I_ly14b-1Ry7mKXZLiMoQthC8R4XtsAORkMwEvrl5gOI_RjAXb7JC1C_9oGFfJ8FsxbfeFyA10FlTa4cZPjQ3y3FFhoG8VOWOiaMmdJz1MOPWKhWvKGG1c4Il9bRnkwmx3/s2048/2b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1969" data-original-width="2048" height="616" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ZoTFKchK_2I_ly14b-1Ry7mKXZLiMoQthC8R4XtsAORkMwEvrl5gOI_RjAXb7JC1C_9oGFfJ8FsxbfeFyA10FlTa4cZPjQ3y3FFhoG8VOWOiaMmdJz1MOPWKhWvKGG1c4Il9bRnkwmx3/w640-h616/2b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">As a finishing touch, I <b>laced up</b> a twine and my Goodie Bag was finished. :o)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love how my Goodie Bag turned out!!
