Yep, I still haven't put down the PTI Striped Sweater background stamp. So many uses for this one!
I was anxious to cut one of the stitches off the stamp so I could stamp a
design, instead of coloring the stitches in with a marker (thanks again
for the idea, Tracey!!) I'm really pleased with how it works! I left a large piece of the corner on the single stitch stamp so it wouldn't fall off the acrylic block.
I sketched and cut out the sweater from kraft paper.
Here's another sweater card. I masked the sentiment stamp to fit the outline of the sweater. Inspiration is from two of the Moxie Fab challenges: using stitching (a satin stitch with textured yarn), and this rich inspiration photo from the Tuesday Trigger:
Thanks for looking!
PS. Hope everyone had a great Halloween last night!
My older son wore a Steve costume from the Minecraft game (we SQUARE PUNCHED that sword together ... I told him he better guard that thing with his life and not let anyone swing it around!)
My younger son was a skeleton last weekend, but changed his mind to be a knight for Halloween. Fun times!
Supplies used:
stamps: Papertrey Ink Striped Sweater Background, Papertrey Ink Snowflake Flurries
impression plates: Papertrey Ink Stripes
other: yarn
Kelly - WOW! Both of these sweaters are fantastic! Talk about precision stamping! I would have been sweating as I placed that last 'stitch' on! lol! My daughter also had a last minute change in costume, since no one in school knew who Jareth the Goblin King (David Bowie, in Labrynth) was!

ReplyDeleteKelly - Love the cards! Those sweaters are precious! I might have to break down and get this stamp set! You are the queen of creative with it I think! Just fantastic projects!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy son loves minecraft! We thought about making a sword and steve head too but we were down with the flu before Halloween and he ended up not even trick or treating that night. Instead he enjoyed handing out candy to all of his friends instead. Thanks for sharing your fun photos! It looks like your boys had fun!
