The sweaters are cut from a masterboard that I then stenciled details on. I didn’t think to take a photo of the full masterboard before I cut into it, but here’s what’s left.
The borders around the cards are just paint pen. I’d planned an additional flourish there, but it (and all my subsequent solutions) looked really terrible on my tester, so I opted to stick with the simpler but classier option. The sentiments are stamped. Thanks for looking!
These turned out so cute! I love the little sweaters and the hand-stamped sentiments were adorable. I love a good hand-stamped saying to make things pop!
Thanks, all! I was pretty happy with how they turned out. It was one of those rare cases where the final product actually came out more or less like my vision .
I think this approach would also work really well with ornament shapes rather than sweaters. Actually, I may have to try that with the leftover masterboard .
I struggled a bit with how to couch it. They weren’t full-on ugly, and “outrageous” felt like an oversell. Maybe “over-the-top.”
