Getting cozy for Christmas

I really love this cozy little Chrismtas card!  I've done this before, but I've never knit with Baker's Twine?!  I had a little burst of inspiration when all of my Twinery goodies were spread out on my craft table, and decided to use it to knit up a tiny little sweater to put on a Christmas card.  I took some decorative toothpicks and glued little pink beads to the ends to make them look like knitting needles.  And no - I didn't knit on the toothpicks!  Just transferred the stitches when I was done.

A card like this can't go to just anyone!  You want someone who will really appreciate it to have it, so I didn't even hesitate to give it to my friend Bonnie, lover of all things crafty.  If I'm not mistaken, it's sitting on her mantel as we speak :o)  Here's a closeup of my little sweater:

Patterned papers are Holly Jolly by Echo Park; Cardstock is Topiary, Cocoa & White Daisy, CTMH; Stamp set is Festive Frills, CTMH; Ink is Cotton Candy, CTMH.  Baker's Twine is Pea Pod from The Twinery.

Color Throwdown Challenge #117

This week's Color Throwdown Challenge colours had a wonderfully soft feeling for me - so I tried to stay with that in my card.  The sparkles are more of a glittery taupe in real life, but they look a bit goldish in the photo:

Cardstock is kraft (Michael's) & bamboo; Patterned paper is Mistletoe; Stamp sets are Festive Frills & Just for the Holidays; Ink is Desert Sand - all CTMH
