I'd Come Unraveled Without You

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today.  We are on Day 5 (of 7) of MFT Teaser Time and today is à la modes day!  I just love these sweet little characters!  For my card, I chose Knit Happens and some pretty bright papers. (bright for me, anyway LOL)


I colored her using the colors in the paper, which meant it was WAY outside my comfort zone.  LOL  I used the Copic blending solution technique with some grosgrain ribbon to texturize her sweater and make it look knit.  The knitting needles were colored grey, then I covered them with Sakura glitter pen in silver.  The ground was drawn in with a fine-tipped marker.



Here is a peek at the decorated inside.  I added some die-cut snowflakes from Let it Snowflake Die-namics and along the top, added a strip of vellum cut from the Wonky Scallop Border Die-namics die.
