Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you are staying warm….it was zero degrees on my porch yesterday morning, but I am thankful I am not in the Boston area….that’s just way too much snow, LOL! We celebrated Dana’s birthday yesterday (it’s actually today) and I used the Match The Sketch sketch for this week to get me started:
Just before Christmas, Dana, my niece and I were all bitten by the knitting bug, so I thought the retired Hand Knit set, along with the knit DSP from Adventure Bound made a perfect match for her card! Here ya go:
I watercolored my wee little lamb, which was stamped in Stazon on Naturals White cardstock, and used a little artistic liberty with her wooly coat….I don’t think I have ever seen a lamb with Cajun Craze wool, LOL! But it matched the opposite side of the DSP perfectly:
I stamped and fussy-cut the other elements, stamped a few knitting needles on the Sahara Sand card base and it was done! She said she liked it!!! And Cassidy liked blowing out the candles on the cake:

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Dana and what a perfect card for her. This is so pretty. I love the sweet little lamb and the knitting needles stamped on the card base.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable, LeAnne! What a perfect card for a knitter, and perfect use for that patterned paper. Oh, and thanks for my sweet Valentine, I love it! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Fun papers too! Happy Bday Dana!
ReplyDeleteI love that stamp set. I bought it a few years back to give my sister, Sally for her birthday. She owned a yarn shop at the time. I loved it so much, I didn't give it to her. Last night I was sorting all my cards in my craft sale box, and came across one made with this set and thought "I should make a set of cards for Sally for her birthday, and use this fun stamp set." Then, you my friend, give me more inspiration to play with it soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card LeAnne! I just LOVE IT! Great idea pairing those stamps with that paper.
ReplyDeleteVielen lieben Dank, für deine Teilnahme bei der Match the Sketch Challenge. Eine tolle Umsetzung unseres Sketch! Die Farbkombi finde ich super schön.
