Inspiration: Freshly Made Sketch #624
This was a fun sketch to work with, especially to use my scraps from the Merry & Bright collection. I had this large Christmas sweater that I had fussy cut from the cut-apart page and I overlapped it with foam adhesive on the largest panel, making sure to emboss the background first with the Cable Knit 3D embossing folder for added texture.
I glued one piece at a time, adding zig-zag stitching with my sewing machine and black thread, to add to the patchwork look. I even stitched over the chipboard sentiment piece. I added a corduroy button at the top, one on the sweater and one at the bottom. I inked the edges with Distress ink for a shabby look.
I used my leftover embossed cardstock on the envelope and added a little sweater sticker from the cardstock sticker sheet to match.
