Hello & Welcome.
I'm excited today to share my first card of 2026. I chose the Inspired by Winter Knits challenge for this card.
I decided to go for the colors and the textures for my card from the Inspiration photo. - There is also a sketch you can follow.
Here is my card:
So for this card I used, Frosty & Feisty (pissy kitty). I wanted to use this particular piece of patterned paper (which took me forever to find in my paper stash). I've had it forever. It was called, Alpine Stash from KI.
My card base is Night of Navy then I used a Unity rectangle/scallop die to cut the patterned paper out. You can see in the photo but it has a slight shimmer/sheen to it. I then used a piece of Close to Cocoa (retired SU) card stock and embossed it with a Herringbone folder and cut a strip of. I layered that to the patterned piece.
The kitty was stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with pencils that I blended with Gamsol. I added some white splatters and layered that on a piece of Early Espresso cs. - Unity and MFT circle dies were used. The piece was mounted with foam tape.
The sentiment was stamped with Night of Navy ink. - To finish the card I added some light blue gems.
Hoping to get back into stamping more as the year progresses. Thanks for stopping by.
