Winter Schminter

 Happy Tuesday, all! I have an uber-quick card for you today; it's for two challenges!  The Addicted to CAS challenge wants to see a sweater, and the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge is a sketch:


I have a fun little sweater die that I pulled out, along with some scraps of paper from my stash; here we go:


I actually cut two sweaters from some retired Soft Sky cardstock and "stretched" it to make it fit under the sentiment banner a wee bit!  A little faceted embellishment tied to the colors of the plaid strip.  The strips were diecut with the Taylored Expressions Easy Strips Stitched dies; they make for a nicely-finished edge, I think! The sentiment is from Whippersnapper; it's an oldie from 2008!


The top inside sentiment is from the same Whippersnapper set; the birthday one is from Paper Pumpkin:


A fun wintry birthday card for my stash!  Thanks for stopping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

What a hilarious sentiment!!! I love it!! Great card, too. You're really tempting me to get those TE Easy Strips Stitches dies.

That little sweater makes the perfect focal point for the sketch LeAnne and that sentiment really made me chuckle - that's exactly how I feel about winter lol! Thanks for playing at CAS Colours & Sketches!

How gloriously CAS, LeAnne! All that white space really shifts your focus to all the detail going on - stripes, spots, stitches and of course, the sweet sweater. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing with us at CC&S

This brought a smile to my face. That little jumper is gorgeous - and the papers you've picked are so warm and homely, they're just perfect. :-)
