Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches 479!
Kim designed the perfect sketch to highlight a new stencil and the sentiment stamp I didn't use on the card posted yesterday. Knitting is probably my first crafting love. Even though I can go years between projects, I always come back to my needles.
A while ago I searched for anything "knit" related in the papercrafting world and discovered this fun Carabelle Studio Tricot stencil. Molding paste inked with a touch of Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink is stenciled onto to a light pink panel.
The Sugar Peas Knit Wit sentiment and image are layered and colored with Copic markers while the panel dried. The vertical panel is replaced with a length of fiber wrapped around the main panel several times and tied off just below the sentiment panel.
Such a gorgeous background - it totally looks like the stockinette stitch with maybe a little cable action!!! And so perfect behind that image and sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI looooooooove this! I like to knit too! The soft colors of your stenciling and yarn is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteLove that knit background and I have always wanted to learn to knit but it seems VERY intimidating to me for some reason.
ReplyDeleteA super cute card. I just love it, thanks for sharing it. I just noticed you're in the San Diego area. I lived there 20 some years.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful card design and I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThat textured background is amazing! It really puts me in mind of a comfy sweater! This so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh Jacquie, this card is fabulous! I just love the texture in the background! Goes perfectly with that sentiment! Love it!
ReplyDeleteJacqui I had to pop by and let you know just how awesome I think this card is!! I thought the background was dry embossed, so even more impressed on close inspection that you achieved the knitted look with embossing paste. Such a fabulous card!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the texture and subtle colour in your stenciled panel!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a sweet card Jacquie! It makes me feel so cosy! I love this knit texture background.
