I have 2 cards for you - one using just the
12 Days of Stitchmas
advent calendar and the
Stitch Along Kit
;
and one more card using additional supplies from my stash.
I used Poppy Field cardstock to die cut the mittens and stitched them using gold DMC thread. I also added ink blending using red ink and a small blending brush. The cuffs were cut from Barely Peach cardstock.
I used teal cardstock from the Stitch-a-Long kit to create a background for my card - I foam mounted the mittens in the center and stamped a simple "Cold Hands Warm Heart" sentiment in black ink. Lastly, I embellished my card with pearls from the kit.
I used
Flurry of Snowflakes 3D embossing folder
to create a textured background for this kit. I did partial embossing leaving space at the bottom for the sentiment. Mittens were die cut from the same colors of cardstock, but I used Barely Peach for the mitten and Poppy Field for the cuffs.
