Back in July, Jane (of Purplejet Loves Crafts) created an adorable card using two sheep in woolly sweaters. See her card here. I fell in love with the image and went searching for it but sadly it is discontinued. Jane kindly stamped a few off for me and mailed them. Here's the first card I've made from them:
I coloured the image with coloured pencils, including a metallic gold pencil for the big star and the stars on the red sweater. I went over the stars with Wink of Stella and over the snowflakes on the blue sweater with a Stardust Glitter gel pen for some shine and used a dark gold shimmer cs for the card base.
52 Christmas Card Throwdown is asking us to choose any challenge from 2020. I chose "Winter Sweaters".
I've also posted it at Splitcoaststampers for two of this week's challenges - the CAS Challenge "Sweater Weather" and the Ways to Use It Challenge "Inspired by a Song". The sentiment is two lines from the carol "The First Noel".
Supplies:
Stamps - Inky Doodles Christmas Jumpers
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper - white cs, dark gold shimmer cs
Size - A2
Accessories - coloured pencils, Stardust Glitter gel pen, stitched circle die
