Verena has a wonderful sketch and fabulous inspiration for us at Freshly Made Sketches #712... here is her sketch - but you'll have to stop by our challenge blog to see her darling card!
As I see all the goodness for Christmas being posted by my friends, I'm reminded of a few of my 'regulars' that I didn't make an appearance this year.
For instance - my mittens!!
Verena's sketch presented the perfect time for them...
These oldie-but-goodie dies aren't available any longer but are well loved. From Winnie & Walter: Noel and Ellen Hutson's Pop-Up Mittens.
I cut Verena's left side border panel from a deep navy card stock and popped my white NOEL up on dimensional foam. The bright red mittens were cut from EH felt and I used white
yarn to embellish them and to tie a band around the panel that was debossed with Waffle Flower Crafts' Dashed Snowflake cover die. A few
white snowflakes and my work playtime was complete!
You have until Monday, November 17th at 3 pm EST to play along - plenty of time to make seconds if you have a mind to! Okay - off you go to see all the inspiration one could ask for from the FMS team!
