Color Throwdown 169-Winter Wishes

It’s my very first time hostessing the Color Throwdown challenge! Here are the colors I chose for my debut—Real Red, Baja Breeze, Taken with Teal, and Chocolate Chip.

I made a wintery card with the color combination using a different pair of mittens from the WPlus9 Winter Wishes set. This time, I inked up the mittens using two different colors of ink—red for the hands and teal for the cuffs. After stamping the mittens, I cut them out and linked them together with a piece of brown baker’s twine, tied in a bow. They’re attached to a Baja Breeze circle with foam tape.

I attached a teal panel, embossed with a snowflake pattern that I highlighted with shimmery white ink, and a dotted Baja Breeze-ish panel behind the mittens on the white card base. The set’s “sending warm winter wishes” sentiment is stamped in white ink on a dark brown strip and accented with a piece of knotted red ribbon. For a tiny bit of sparkle, I attached a clear crystal to the center of the snowflake on each mitten.
