Thank you to our wonderful Challenge hostesses, so faithful to our community! I've managed to hit three of this weeks prompts with this fun card.
Today on the Ways to Use it, Sabrina suggested Knit Wit. Check the box on fun...I love to knit! And though I really stitched on this card...let's pretend, shall we? This is a fabulous Technique Junkies image. I created a Brushos background with 'Olive Green' and 'Moss Green'. The image was inked with VersaFine 'Onyx Black' and embossed with 'Clear' EP.
The needles were colored with a Silver Pitt Pen. I paper pierced the needles so I could thread the yarn over and under, making loops. This is a tiny snippet of one of my favorite yarns.
For the Sketch Challenge, Allison was kind to us with a very CAS sketch. I fudged a little (tis the season). I couldn't resist putting a bit of my Brusho'ed paper at the bottom with Tim's embossed cross stitches. I stapled over them colored staples.
Our TeaPotter Party this week is for Art Deco Diva, Karen. I have been blessed to receive Karen's art in my mailbox and the gift of her time to comment on my gallery. I know her mailbox will be filled to the brim with well wishes and the kindest of thoughts and prayers going up.

Love the stamping on the Brusho, the way the background matches your yarn, the amazing look of the stapled cross-stitch, and your wonderful faux knitting. What a brilliant card...and true sentiment.

Just WOW! Very cool card, made even more so by your explanation of how you made it happen. Love the way you worked in real yarn, it adds a cozy texture to this colorful card. Nicely done!

Knocked it out of the park with all 3 challenges. LOVE all the loop-de-doo's and 3-D charm. This will tug at Karen's heart. It tugs at mine. Send me some of your play time choices. Artzadoni Studio awaits.
