Knit one, purl one...

Knitting is Nora's favourite pastime, and socks are her specialty.  She loves to make everyone a pair for Christmas, and no two pair are the same....in fact no two socks are the same!  You can find Knitting Nora at Dr Digi's House of Stamps, and she's definitely good for a smile. The perfect card to go with a gift of pretty yarn.

I've used my copics and pencils today, and then the 'out of the box' technique to cut out the image.  For a bit of funt, I used the square die at an angle and then gave it a frame.  I've tried to give her a nice living room setting, using two patterned papers and some washi tape to define the baseboard, and I liked the idea of a crooked picture.   I finally made use of my Chandelier stamp from Memory box, and the pretty corner die from Joy Crafts.

The verse is a Penny Black stamp, which is usually found as the verse inside the card....and isn't it so true!  Do you remember when you thought 40 was old?  Those were the days!
