I've been wanting to make a sweater card and Cathy's Let's Warm Up W619 challenge was the perfect inspiration. Hope you'll join us in the challenge.
Stamped and fussy cut the cup then added Glossy Accents for a sheen. Punched the hands out of cream CS. I inked the EF and embossed white CS.. Die cut the zipper and crimped the collar in red. I crimped and trimmed white CS to create the turtleneck. I trimmed the cable embossed panel to accommodate the zipper and create arms. Added the hands and began folding and trimming to get the hands, cup and arms aligned properly. That took some doing! Hope you're staying warm and cozy, TFL

OMGosh that just too CLEVER...what a superb job...Love that cable knit EF you used, and clever to use a crimper on the shirt and its collar! Hands and coffee mug are perfect!

Oh, Carla, that cable knit sweater looks soooo cozy! Add to that a cup of, I'll call it cocoa, and you have a perfectly warm, toasty, and very clever creation!

I bet this took some doing...WOW it's FABUOUS! You've got every little detail perfectly done...I love that you added glossy accents for shine and even the hand holding the mug looks like the fingers are wrapped around it...so well done!

Love, love, love your super cute sweater card. It has so much dimension and texture and great warm red color. Love that you added hands and the nice warm coffee cup too. Super fun card Carla.
