Inkspirational Challenge #354 - Word Prompt Knit

 There's a new challenge up over at Inkspirational:

I pulled out a sweater die from The Greetery and a Sweater 3D embossing folder by Eileen Hull/Sizzix for my card. (It's a vertical cable stitch - not sure if you can see it? It flattened a bit when I die cut the framing after embossing Ugh.)  

I cut the sweater pieces out of watercolor paper and colored them with Copics.  I die cut the leaf and acorn out of colored card stock.


I die cut the leaf and acorn using Autumn Side Kick Die by Tim Holtz/Alterations. The Nordic circle die is from The Greetery and the back panel is die cut with a Nested Rectangle with Square Holes die from Rubbernecker - now Brass and Bliss.  The sentiment is from Sending Warm Fuzzies from Unity. The enamel dots are from Altenew.

So please join in with us at Inkspirational - and create a card inspired by Knit/Knitted!
You'll find lots of inspiration from the rest of the Design Team as well as Mr. Linky over at Inkspirational!

This challenge ends November 21!

The combination of your pretty sweater (I want a real life version to wear!) and the embossed background definitely conveys cozy and warm. The acorn is a sweet special touch. As always, wonderful inspiration for our challenge theme!

Love that sweater. It looks great with the dark brown embossed background. I like that you have left in most of the little dots on the edge of the die. I know if I tried to do that they would all fall out and I would give up! xx

As a knitter and a lover of sweaters, I think your card (and the challenge) are fantastic. That is such a cute sweater and perfect against the embossed cable design. I'll have to do a card for the challenge!

I think we'll be needing a warm sweater like this one, Julia! This certainly is warm and cozy!

Using watercolor paper makes your sweater look like it's felted, Julia. The knitted embossing works great with it. Thanks for joining Just Us Girls for their 800th challenge.
