Sweater time of year . . .

 Hello, Happy Tuesday and Welcome Back!

In chatting with BFF Diane (Nellie's Nest) over the weekend, she mentioned a fun challenge she was wanting to play along in and when she shared the link with me I couldn't help but join in the fun too!  Thanks Diane!

The challenge is for the Christmas Card Throwdown Blog, and their October theme is:

Once again I'm sharing a card using  The Greetery Shiplap die on the background.  I used TH oxide distress inks 'iced spruce' and 'walnut stain' for my color combination.  Reminds me of an old cabin up in the mountains somewhere.  


Other product used:

Elizabeth Craft 'Winter Sweater' 

Elizabeth Craft Designs - Dies - Winter Sweater

 Marianne 'Ice Skates' (LR0247) ... very old die
Verve Stamps - Winter Mittens sentiment (no longer in business)
Pink & Main Sweater Weather 6x6 designer paper


 Challenges to share in:

Crafter's Castle #34 October Challenge - ATG
Not Just Cards October Challenge - ATG
QKR Stampede Challenge #406 - ATG
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #573 - ATG twist-Christmas

I hope you like today's share!
Have a FABULOUS day and thanks for stopping in!

As always . . .

    What perfect paper for your sweater, and of course there is that ship lap making the perfect background, funny thing I 'almost' used my ship lap for my sweater too, but I used a 'part' of it ...teehee!

    I'm SO in love with that shiplap die from The Greetery. I absolutely "NEED" it (if you know what I mean). Thanks for the inspiration. Your cards are always so lovely.
    Blessings,
    Karen

    This is a great Winter sweater card. I can see why you're getting a lot of use from your shiplap dies, they made such a great background. The jumper and skates look great against it. Thanks for playing along at the 52CCT this week, hope to see you again soon.
