Warm Winter Wishes

Good Sunday morning.  I hope you had a chance to go  to the CLASSroom yesterday to check out all the fun challenges for the 2012 World Card Making Day celebration.  It is still not too late for you to and qualify for some wonderful blog candy and a fantastic grand prize $150 Ellen Hutson gift certificate to use in the store for anything you want. 

My project today is made with Impression Obsession’s Mitten set and Snowflakes set.  I have a friend who always turns her nose up at mitten images and dies because she thinks they look like boxing gloves.  LOL!  And she is not totally wrong.  But I love making mittens into adorable festive holiday and winter projects. 

I die cut the mitten once using designer paper and once in white. I cut the white sections with deckle scissors and crimped them for dimension. I mounted the mitten on the card base using mounting tape for a level of dimension.

I paired the large snowflake from the Mitten set with a matching snowflake from the Snowflakes set. I stamped the sentiment on white using Broken China and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I cut it out using the scalloped circle die from the Mini Circle Tag set and layered it over a punched circle.

I popped the two snowflakes up on mounting tape and attached to the mitten. The tiny satin bow was perfect for the center of the snowflakes and to bring a little red in to match the embossed background. I thought the tiny snowflakes were the perfect finishing touch.

Have a great Sunday and thanks for stopping by today.
