Cloud9 WPlus9 November Blog Hop

Here’s my super simple card for this month’s Cloud9 WPlus9 blog hop challenge. I loved the sweet bedding in the inspiration photo. I took my cues from the colorful hats and mittens strung on a line in the bedding’s pattern and the contrasting white background behind them.

I stamped the clothesline image from the Heartfelt Mix set on a white panel, angling it across the top for interest. After stamping the mitten strings three times on the line, I added the mittens, making each pair a different bright color. A tiny clear crystal dots the snowflake on each mitten for a bit of sparkle. I stamped the “warmest winter wishes” sentiment from the Winter Wishes set beneath the mitten line in black ink. The panel is attached to the white card base with foam tape. I really like the clean look of the white on white, but now I’m wishing I’d stamped the clothesline and sentiment in gray ink for a slightly softer look . . .

Materials Used:
Heartfelt Mix and Winter Wishes stamp sets (WPlus9); Memento Rose Bud, Pear Tart, Bahama Blue, and Tuxedo Black inks (Tsukineko); clear crystals (Martha Stewart); foam tape
