Santa Sweater Vest

Inspiration: 52 Christmas Card Throwdown (Shaped Card)

I immediately knew that I wanted to pull out my Sweater Vest dies from Sunny Studio when I saw that this week's challenge was to make a shaped card. I love this die set and I've really enjoyed finding funky patterns to make vest out of. This time around, I picked the Santa pattern from Echo Park's Happy Holidays collection. I used the green retro star pattern from the edges and the red plaid for the argyle pattern. I used my etoile DMC thread to add stitching as well, with green sequins in the center for additional texture. 

I also changed the collar up and did the V neck, adding the polo collar and the red bowtie to go with it. The resulting card just makes me smile.
