Nothing is more warm and cozy for me than a lovely thick sweater. I particularly love the beautiful Fair Isle sweaters with snow motifs like this one:
So I used a stencil and white paste on blue cs to create this card:
To keep the card CAS, I only used a portion of the stenciling. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on vellum and tucked it around the stenciled panel. Then added a frame (cut twice and glued together for more dimension).
Please come and join us with your interpretation of "Warm and Cozy". There is more inspiration from the Design Team and this month's Guest Designer, Bobby (bits & pieces), over at CAS Christmas. You have until November 24th to link up.
This is the last CAS Christmas for 2019. The team is taking a break over December, but will be back January 3rd with a new challenge.
I'm also linking my card up over at the Jingle Belles Challenge where they want something you wear when it's cold outside.
Supplies:
Stamps - unknown sentiment
Ink - Versamark Onyx Black
Paper - blue and white cs, vellum
Size - A2
Accessories - clear embossing powder, MFT pierced frame die, TH stencil, white embossing paste
