Sweater Weather is here!!! Richard Garay Designs/88andClear

 

Hello there inky friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I created using the fun new red rubber background stamp "Tight Plaid" and the adorable digi set "Blessed Fall" from Richard Garay Designs (now 88andClear).  Would you believe that all of my images from the Sweater Weather set were digitally colored?  Yep!  They were!!! Since the zip file arrives in my email, I can choose the format to print or work with.  I used the .svg file with my Silhouette Cameo software on my computer to digitally color each one of the images.  I then printed, fussy cut (yes, I prefer fussy cutting to my Cameo), and then set the images aside before starting the background.  

I stamped the new Tight Plaid background on some Powdered Sugar cardstock using Gray Stuff ink and then attached a scrap of yellow polkadot printed paper from my stash of My Minds Eye 6x6 pads.  After that, I machine stitched the edges, attached the panel to some Tangy Orange cardstock and then added some orange ribbon.  Next, I assembled/arranged the images (along with a little scrap from my circles dies) in a fun little cluster (I have some left for a few more fun cards) and mounted the whole thing with double stick tape to the white card base.  VOILA!

 

It's so fun to play with these images digitally.  For the sweater, I decided to keep it a bit whimsical by offsetting the color from the overlay lines.  I also mixed a few different colors- light teal (it printed light blue) and some lime green for the cuffs, neckline and waist).  I also went to town coloring the leaves and banner in rainbowlicious colors!  

Check out that new PLAID!  Isn't it just delish?  I stamped it using my TH platform using the rubber side of the plate.  Worked like a charm!  

Thanks so much for hopping over to check out my card.  I hope it inspires you to play with digital images and incorporate them in your card designs!!! :)
