Sweater Weather

Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS. Toni is our hostess and she chose the code word…

It is definitely seater weather in my part of the country. When I saw the code word I was thinking I do not have a sweater die or stamp, but then I realized that it could be a sweater that someone had on or it could be a sweater stencil, so don’t let the code word scare you.

I can across this cute mouse set from My Favorite Things where this little fella has on a sweater. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel cut down with a die by Pinkfresh Studio. I stamped and colored the image using OLO markers, then masked it off and added a light blue hue around the image. To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment underneath the image and adhered the panel to the card base.
