Happy Wednesday, peeps! I have a fun little card today which uses the sketch from Sunday Stamps--such a fun one, too!
A friend in our church knitting group is celebrating a birthday and my first thought was to use the knitting llama from the Zany Zoo set, but I remembered this older SU set called Hand Knit, so I pulled it out and got to work:
I am always teasing her because she tends to knit things in grays and other neutrals, and tell her she needs to knit and wear brighter colors! So I chose some bright prints for my DSP, but nodded to her love of gray in the stamped images:
I did stamp the sentiment in the retired Regal Rose ink and I mounted the panel on a piece of Bubble Bath...just had to get some color in there! And since I smudged my original inside sentiment, I stamped it again on a Spotlight on Nature circle diecut and adhered it on top of my booboo, adding some knitting needles beneath it:
Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

LeAnne, what a cute card! She will love it, especially the nod to gray :-) The sentiments are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun take on the sketch with a perfectly created card for your friend's birthday! The image is perfect for someone who knits too, and I love that you stamped it in grey. Fun card.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card! I like that mix of bright and gray, especially perfect once I read the story behind your choices.Since becoming a grandmother, my knitting needles have seen a new lease on life too. :-)
