Winter Warmth and Wishes

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  I created a sweet holiday themed design based on the sketch, replacing the layout's circles with a pair of red mittens created with the Winter Warmth dies.  After cutting the mittens out from red cardstock, I stamped the stitching pattern from the coordinating Winter Warmth stamp set onto the die cuts with white pigment ink.  I used a length of twine to connect the mittens before adhering them to the pink card base using foam tape.  For interest, I looped the twine before securing it on the cardfront. 

To go with the stitched pattern on the mittens, I attached a strip of paper with a knit pattern across the bottom of the cardfront, tucking it beneath the bottom mitten. The holiday sentiment from the Hug in a Mug stamp set was stamped to the right of the mittens, just above the patterned paper panel, in red ink.
