Inkspirational has a challenge that fits a card I made perfectly. Let's take a look at my 'knitted' sweater.
I got the Sunny Studio sweater dies thinking it would make great masculine cards. I also got the Cozy Sweater embossing folder from Altenew and the two worked great together. I have always loved the look of fishermen sweaters and although this one doesn't have sleeves it looks the same done in Gina K Ivory. The sentiment is from Spellbinder's Glitter Wishes.
The first one I made from the set was for my son-in-law's birthday using a plaid from Honey Bee.
The sentiment is from the same Spellbinder's set cut apart to add 'birthday' to the mix.

Bobby, I don't know how you've kept this one 'close to the vest!' I love the realistic look of that cable knit! I've always wanted one of those Fisherman-knit sweaters!

Well how stinkin' FUN!!! I have never seen that die set, and it's a good one. LOVE what you have done with it, love the "knitted" look. Just AWESOME!!!
Great knitted and plaid sweaters! They're both perfect in execution, just waiting for the men they were intended for
I've always loved the fishermen knit sweaters too Bobby, and yours AND the Argyle one are both fabulous!! Beautifully done and perfect for the challenge!! Hugs. :0)
These look exactly like they are knitted sweaters, Bobby! Great work! I also love the cable knit sweaters and used to make them years ago. Plaid vest is perfection! :) xx
Ohmygosh! How fun are these sweater vests! Warm, cozy, stylish...the works! Thrilled that you shared the cable knit version in the Inkspirational gallery; thank you!

What a wonderful card, Bobby! It looks like a handknit Fisherman sweater! I love the plaid too! This is a fantastic die and wonderful ways to use it!
Oh... these are both fun, bobby! I'll bet your son-in-law loved the vest, the plaid is perfect!
Oh this reminds me I have that die too and I wish I thought to bring it out to play! Love the embossing too. Thank you for sharing with us at INk~
Love those knitted vests!
Oh my gosh, so clever!
What a fabulous idea to add the embossing to the vest! It looks like it was made to go with this die set - no-one would suspect they were different companies! Clever you! Hugs, Kate!
