Knit Happens!

Hello again!  Thanks for coming back for another sneak peek.  Today I have a cute and funny Squigglefly image called Knit Happens by Fawn Palmer.  Have you ever knitted, crocheted, or sewn something and it came out ALL WRONG? This image captures that moment so well :-)  I printed my image and colored with Copics and messed around with the basket of yarn and messed it up.  So the only way I could save the work I had already finished was to re-size and reprint.  Enlarging the basket, cutting it out and popping it up off the card base with some Pop Dots allowed me to cover my mistake; it also gave the card a different perspective, making the perplexed knitter appear to be standing somewhat behind the basket of yarn.  Sometimes mistakes turn out to be your ticket to a better composition!  I distressed the background paper, added "What?" to the card front and some knitting needles and ball of yarn from my cut files to the inside along with the Knit Happens sentiment and called it finished.
One of the Design Team members has put together a fabulous PDF tutorial on how to re-size your digital images using Serif Page Plus. Check it out here!  Charlene did a fabulous job and makes the process very easy to understand.


Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget, tomorrow is release day at Squigglefly.  Stop by and check out all the fabulous new images being released.  Hugs, Shawna
