When I saw the inspiration photo at this week's Christmas Stampin' All Year Long, I knew the knitting stickers I had picked up at Memories on Fifth last week would be perfect to build a card around. I really loved the first design team sample that took a more literal approach and made a card to hold a knitting fit card.
I used this week's Paper Players Sketch for my layout.
I didn't have any yarn that matched, so I dyed my own with a combination of ink sprays and ink pads. Of course, even though I dried it with my heat gun and rubbed it between an old cloth before adhering, it smeared a bit on the yellow part of my card, so I just added another sticker to cover the boo boo and called it good.
The green paper is from Crate Paper's Snow Day Collection & sentiment is one of my tiny favorites from CatsLife Press. The colors also work for th current CR84FN Color Challenge.
Love it...the inspiration {what a fab wreath} and how it inspired you! Happy Sunday!
