CAS-ual Fridays

I LOVE using my copic markers, so CAS-ual Fridays had the perfect challenge.

CFC87: Use markers in your Clean And Simple Creation
Remember... a little can go a loooong way!
You can color an image, or an element, or get creative and show us some fun techniques!

This is also a good warm up for the CAS Cardmaking II Class that starts on Monday...

Here's my card:

Credit goes to A on this one, for heading out to Archivers, getting me the stamp and die, and actually MAILING it to me. Thank you!

Materials:
Paper: Misc. Bazzill cardstock, Neenah - Solar White
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black, HA Shadow Ink Midtones - Field Greens, HA - CL371 Essential Messages and Archivers/HA - Elephant Stamp and Cut Set
Cutting/Embossing: Hero Arts Coordinating Die
Misc.: Copic markers, dimensional adhesive


And a little knitting (for an upcoming birthday gift... hoping it fits!)

For my favorite lurker (A), if you want to see how it fits, check Ravelry, but you have to keep it a secret, because it's a gift for M.

Pattern:  Apple Tree Crew Neck
Size: 1 yr
Needles: 6/7
Yarn: Plymouth Encore Worsted - pinks, green, brown

I did end up modifying some parts of this pattern, and it sure was a pain weaving in all the ends. Modifications - knit sleeves in the round and neck in the round, adjusted some stitch counts for the ribbing. As long as it fits, I'll be very happy with the end result (no matter how fussy it was to make). Overall impression - not wild about how the pattern was written, but I would be likely to purchase another pattern from the same designer, just because I like the patterned images she has on the front of her sweaters.
