Inchie and New Challenge piece
Hi All from a damp and cold NE UK coast. Such a contrast from yesterday when the beach and seafront were crowded and people were even brave enough to be in the sea swimming. Thank you for your visit and I hope the weather is nice where you are.
At Every Inchie Monday the theme this week is knitting
This is my inchie with a bit of knitting on part of a cocktail stick. Wonder what everyone else will for this?
A new Challenge blog called Stamp and Stencils has its first challenge posted and the theme is Anything Goes
I made a card for a neighbours birthday The web stencil is by Dream weaver and the stamp by Kanban. I used Grunge Paste for the stencil and Distressed Stains to colour here and there. I also did the stamping with a Distressed stain but not sure that worked as well as I had hoped.
When I had taken a photograph of the card I made a matching envelope by printing out the photographed image.
Fabulous card Chrissie! Love the web and the colours you've used. Thanks for joining us at Stamps and Stencils. Sue C x

Wonderful pieces today Chrissie, Your card is fabulous, great textures and colours! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteLove your inchie, made me chuckle because I did a toothpick knitting with twine for a scrapbook page!
ReplyDeleteYour distress stain stamping has lost definition but this can be an advantage to give an impression of movement or just an impressionist style.

ReplyDeleteLovely inchie and the card is beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteGreat inchies Chrissie, and the weather here in Herefordshire has been wonderful. Hot and sunny.
ReplyDeleteLove your tiny piece of knitting. I can't imagine trying to use cocktail sticks as needles (I used sock needles). It snowed in southern ontario on Easter sunday! a bit warmer today. Really nice card - what a lucky neighbour.
ReplyDeleteLove your little tiny knitting square, and the card has so much interest and texture.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Chrissie, both you Inchie (so clever) and your other project look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGreat mini knitting & I really like the other piece too.

Love the tiny inchie Chrissie, you are so patient to knit with a small stick. A beautiful card, the textures, background and the main images all look fantastic together. Thank you for joining in our first challenge at Stamps and Stencils.

These are both fabulous Chrissie, you knitting is so cute and I'm always amazed by what you can get on an inchie. I really like you card the distress stain seems to give her so much movement, and to do a print for the envelope is just genius xx
ReplyDeleteVery nice projects, Chrissie. I like the idea of the knitting on the cocktail stick. It gives it a nice flare. And the cards are a delight. I 'envy' the kinds of printers some of you have that you can print out envelopes, too. I always like a matching envelope.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a joyous Easter,

Just gorgeous work all around!
ReplyDeleteI love that you did actual knitting on your knitting inchie!
ReplyDeleteLove that bling, but the actual knitting--so cool! I like the color combination on the card--I've been seeing a lot of baby blue or aqua with red; I guess it's a trend. Have a brilliant day, Chrissie! c
ReplyDeleteCute inchie. The card is very pretty, nice technique.
ReplyDeleteGreat inchie! Love your card - great idea for the envelope too! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWonderful inchie and card. You did some knitting!
ReplyDeleteKnitting on a cocktail stick - genius! Love your spider web card too - such a cool colour combination.
