Place the jumper stamp in a stamping platform over white cardstock. Use the pointed end of the dewdrop-shaped inkpads to direct colour over different areas of the stamp, starting with the lightest shade. Use three shades of ink for one jumper and stamp repeatedly until the whole image is complete. Repeat to create three jumpers.
Cut around each jumper with scissors then die-cut a co-ordinating jumper for each from coloured cardstock. Adhere together.
Die-cut three coloured circles and affix the jumpers on an angle using 3D foam pads.
Cover the card front with a deep strip of purple cardstock, then add narrow strips of printed cardstock as shown. Stamp the sentiment on the lower strip and add heart either side.
Affix the circles to the card front. Thread a long length of twine through each of the jumper hoops.
Die-cut five coloured buttons and use them to secure hoops of twine across the top of the card. Add a drop of hot glue, then affix a crossed twine loop and seal with a button.
TOP TIP
Small dye inkpads are the best for multicoloured stamping – it's a fun technique that works great with a detailed design like this jumper!
