Good morning!
For this week’s Daring Cardmakers challenge, Joanne is challenging us to feature someone wearing pink on our cards in honour of Wear It Pink day for breast cancer awareness month.
Well, with winter approaching and Christmas cards firmly on my mind, there had to be a cosy knit jumper…
Stamps: PTI – Sentiment Staples: Christmas, Simon Says Stamp – Critter Sweaters (r)
Dies: Simon Says Stamp – Critter Sweaters (r), Lil’ Inker Designs – Stitched Stars (r), The Greetery – Crimped Frame, The Greetery – Crimped Slimline, The Stamp Market – Dotted Tree
Stencil: The Greetery – Knit Wits
I started out by ink blending the rabbit and bear – Manatee grey for the rabbit’s head and a mix of Pizza Crust and Doe for the bear’s head.
I took some more post-it tape to mask off the heads and ink blended the background colours for their jumpers. Pink Lemonade for the bunny and Kiddie Pool ink for the bear.
I put them aside to dry properly and got started on a pink knitted background using the Knit Wits stencils from The Greetery and pink distress inks on pink cardstock: first using Worn Lipstick for the dark stitches, then Kitsch Flamingo for the lighter pink stitches.
I then ran the panel through the Big Shot with the Crimped Frame die and used Raspberry Bliss ink to add some contrast around the edges.
I set that aside to dry thoroughly and went back to stamping the patterns on the jumpers.
A mix of Lawn Fawn pink tones for the bunny and Lawn Fawn aqua tones for the bear, oh and when that was done I stamped on the faces in Onyx black ink.
It was time to set the wintry scene, adding a green dotted tree from The Stamp Market and simple white glitter paper for the snowy hill.
Before sticking anything else down, I got my trusty white bleed-proof ink loaded on a paint brush for some snowy splatter.
I then added the characters to the scene, a sentiment on the smaller banner from the Crimped Slimline die set, and finally a glittery gold star for the tree and festive enamel dots for the sentiment.
Make sure you check out the wonderful projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!
Happy crafting!
