Okay our sketch is a fabulous one! It is so easy to be inspired by it in many different ways!! Here is the sketch:

and here is my creation!

I just received some wonderful Spellbinders dies - and I love them all....but I chose to use the mittens for this card.

I stamped the die cut mittens with the Knitted Backgrounds from Faux Fun! I have been wanting to do this since I got my Faux Fun background months ago! I am so happy that there is a die cut now that I can fulfill my fantasy with! (I know...I'm dull....)

I over stamped the top of the mittens with white ink so it looks like they are turned down.....and then added some snowflakes and buttons with twine to finish it off!

The sentiment is from the Very Vintage Christmas stamp set - I love "Warm Wishes" It just makes so much sense with mittens!!

And how about that twine to hold the mittens together? Do you remember those mittens in your coat - I remember immensely!!- my brother would pull one of the mittens so that the other one would scoot up around my back and get caught - and then the string would be so long that my mittens would be hanging out of the arms of my coat and dragging along the ground LOL!!
