Oh, my is the challenge Lisa has for this week ever a great one!! YES, it is! When she told me, I had a tiny bit of a doubt about these colors being dark, but they are GREAT together! And when I got this stamp from WhipperSnapperdesigns.com I knew just how I would color it!
This is Parsnip (in case you'r'e looking for it at Whipper Snapper designs). She is stamped on watercolor paper and painted with reinkers. I used Sahara Sand for the cat and elegant eggplant, old olive and night of navy for the scarf and hat. Adorable!!
Then I went looking for background paper, but it wasn't long until I remember this Tim Holtz stencil, called Holiday Knit. I have the stencil because of Lisa, too~she said she had it so I needed it too! If I wasn't a tad late with my post I think I would have used texture paste for a raised sweater design, but short on time I used my stencil brushes to brush on my colors (rich razzleberry, old olive and night of navy). I shaded the edges with a bit of pool party and I think it made it look very sweatery (?) and fuzzy!
I have thin gold twine, but I wanted SILVER! All I have in silver is this chunkier string so I had to go with it. Why in the world don't I have silver twine! I'll fix that soon! I mounted the image and sweater on Rich Razzleberry and my card was done!
I hope you like it!
