Saturday Challenges

Another ColourQ challenge card...

I used an old Mojo Monday sketch, #116, and I was also inspired by a card by Cici510 on Splitcoaststampers.

For this card, I was trying to focus on snowflakes and mittens for a generic winter card, rather than specifically a Christmas card. I used various Designer Series Paper and my Circle Scissors Plus to create the circles. I also bleached a piece of More Mustard cardstock so that the snowflakes would pop more when I stamped tone-on-tone (same color cardstock and ink).

I loved the mittens in the inspirational picture, so I used the mitten stamp in Scandinavian Season and embossed with Mustard embossing powder (retired). I also used the flocked snowflake from Christmas Cocoa DSP, which doesn't show up in the pic, but fun to feel!
