Here's one last card for Merry Monday with a Twist.
.
When I got this Mixed Bunch set, I knew I wanted to ink this stamp with markers. It made me think of a Nordic sweater. Having a punch that's made for this stamp helps a lot. I punched 2 blossoms from the Raspberry Ripple to put behind the stamped one.
This package of new Christmas Snow Festival paper has some sheets with strips that went right along with the knitted scheme. This paper is in the new Holiday Mini catalog.
I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White and turned my Decorative Label punch over, slipped the ends of the stamped piece in from the top and punched to get the ends rounded. It took a little nick from one side so I took my paper snips and cut some more. Then I inked the edges with my Raspberry Ripple marker. I can't remember where that stamp came from. In fact, I can't remember where I put that stamp. I've looked all over and under my stamps and can't find it. I organized my sentiment stamps the other day. Maybe that was a mistake.
Sunday morning is the deadline for this challenge. Here's a recap in case you missed it.

Wonderful Christmas card. I agree, I think that stamp looks like a knit Nordic sweater, and the DP matches it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI have never looked at Mixed Bunch with my Christmas eyes before but this intricate design works really well in red and green.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love sweaters and I knit so this really appeals to me! It would be a perfect Christmas card for me to make for all my knitting friends!
