As a knitter, I love the Pinterest Board Stacy chose. I'm pretty sure I'll be going back there to check out the patterns in closer detail. For my card, I was inspired by THIS. I loved the color & texture.
I started by inking the knitted embossing folder w/ a dark blue & med. turquoise inks then embossed it onto white. Love how that turned out! Then I die cut the snowman & accessories & instead of adding the die cut scarf, I knitted a little scarf w/ some small needles. Since it was so small, I didn't try to do anything fancy..just a garter stitch border & stockinette body. I made a frame & stamped the snowflakes w/ a lt blue then put it all together. I did used a C2 & BG000 to add a little shading to the snowman.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups & links: The Write Stuff
