Knitted jumper and hat

 


You might remember I had this Clarity jumper stamp set out the other day. Well I had an idea to run the cardstock through a knitted effect EF, and I pretty pleased with how it turned out. I also made a little die cut hat from a Sizzix set.

This is an attempt at a masculine Christmas card, both the subject and the colour. I also used a candy cane EF for the frame. The background is the same cardstock I used here, had it years and used it twice now!

I'm entering this card into the https://asyoulikeitchallenge.blogspot.com/As You Like It Challenge for Favourite Christmas Colours - Modern or Traditional. I went with this colour as it looks masculine and this is an odd shade of green that doesn't go with many other colours.

I'm also entering into Can You Handle The Pressure challenge - optional Vines/Greenery

Wow! Love so much the effect of the EF on the jumper and the hat, Lynn! They really have a warm feel with the colour you choose! The back paper is a perfect match, as well the embossed layer and the circle sentiment! A great masculine card!
