ColourQ#60

DSCF8103-1

I finally had a chance to sit down and stamp tonight and make something with the ColourQ colors for this week:

Ooh, aren’t these sweet…reminds me of mittens my mom used to knit for us kids! I can knit a scarf, but mittens---I don’t think so! Luckily, I just got a set of Nestie mitten dies…so cute, and I cut a pair out on Saturday but hadn’t made them into a card yet…and guess what, they were Cherry Cobbler too! So here we go:

My Whippersnapper stamps were getting dusty on my shelf so I thought the Winter Schminter set would be perfect for this challenge! I used some BG Wassail paper; a snowflake die-cut from the Northern Flurries die and covered with some vintage glitter; a banner cut from Laura Pryor’s little banner die, and the snowflake on the mitten is from Waltzingmouse! I really spread the love around on this card! Here are a couple close-ups:

Hmmm, maybe there’s a bit TOO much going on on this card!!! Oh well! It sure was fun to stamp! And get this…I had just finished this card when I got an email in my inbox from…..Anna Wight! What a coincidence! We were doing a recipe exchange—so now I not only have some of Anna’s stamps but a recipe from her too! Edited to add: this card also qualifies for the Little Red Wagon challenge 56--to use some Basic Grey on your card! Woohoo!

If you need any details on this card, email me as the list is long! :D As we get ready for the Thanksgiving holiday, I hope everyone takes time to thank the Lord for the many blessings we have!

LeAnne this is ADORABLE! I love the colors and the mittens are so cute. I wore mittens always as a child, so it does bring back memories.. all good. The only thing cuter than this card is that little angel smiling in the photo.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Just love this. Perhaps it is those mittens just hanging out that make this card feel so warm and cozy to me.
