A dear friend of mine recently celebrated her birthday. As she is a dab hand with a crochet hook, can knit and sew, so I wanted to make her a card involving yarn.
The stamp is by Marianne Design (Snoesjes HM9449), the embossing folder is by Craft Unlimited (hearts 4954012) and the dies used were the largest two from the Sizzix Framelits circles, Scallop (#657552). The image and background were coloured with Promarkers. The balls of yarn were made from embroidery thread and the knitting was originally done using stitch keepers (see below). I transferred the knitting onto two hair pins (the sort used to keep rollers in place!)
The knitting was difficult to do as it was so tiny and the springs from the stitch keepers kept getting in the way. Again, I used embroidery thread to do the knitting.
Thankfully, my friend loved her card. :-)
