Poppy's 21st


This is a card that I made for a commission. It was for a girl with learning difficulties who had just mastered the art of knitting. Her grandmother wanted knitting included in the card so I knitted a small square of garter stitch using DMC embroidery thread and a pair of cocktail sticks. When I had finished the knitting I wound excess thread into a ball and wrapped it with a small piece of paper. I added a pearl to the end of each cocktail stick which made them look like knitting needles! I used paper from the DCWV Spring stack and a panel of white dotted Bazzill cardstock which bears the recipient's name. A scalloped circle holds the age & knitted piece. A polka dot ribbon bow & layered flowers and some pink glittery drops from Papermania finish the card.
Carts used:
Scalloped circle- Graphically Speaking
Circle- George
Name & age- Lyrical Letters (Loopy Lou alphabet)
I hope that Poppy like it!
Thanks for dropping by!
