How is your January going so far???
Today I'm sharing a wintertime card over on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog
that was great fun to make!
I
live in Ohio and we are having a true winter this year! I have pulled
out all my winter sweaters that haven't seen daylight for the past
couple of winters due to us having very mild temperatures in comparison
to this year. Guess I should pay more attention to that old Farmer's
Almanac ... they predicted this to be a COLD year!!
Anyways, since I was in 'sweater mode', I thought I'd keep it going with a card which was created using the fun Elizabeth Craft 'Sweater' die.
One
sweater was made using design paper from the Authentique Tradition
Collection and the other one was created using the Tim Holtz 'Holiday
Knit' Layering Stencil.
The
designer paper sweater was easy ... I simply die cut the sweater from
the patterned side of the paper and the extra pieces from the flip side
of that same paper which happened to be a coordinating solid ... easy
peasy.
To create the
'sweater' pattern on the other one, I used a scrap of white card stock
and Tim Holtz 'Faded Jeans' distress ink along with the stencil. Then
die cut my sweater.
I
first die cut the collar, bottom band and cuffs from white card stock
but didn't think it stood out enough so I quickly used the other end of
this scrap of white card stock ... inked it with the same distress ink
and die cut the same pieces. I actually already had the white pieces
adhered so simply layered the blue pieces on top of the white.
For the sentiment I used another Elizabeth Craft die ... 'Cozy'.
It was die cut twice from the scrap piece (above) used for the cuff
& collar panels ... once in white and once in blue. Then off set to
create dimension.
I hope you've enjoyed what I've shared today!
