I love making shaped cards -- even with my antiquated "hold-it-together-with-a-brad" method. But it actually works well for the mittens. When fanned out to view the inside message, you get a pair of mittens! I chose to use a simple piece of yarn as a bow to resemble the little pom-poms and shoe-string bows on mittens from my childhood.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
BBTB2 Challenge: Mittens from "Joys of the Season"
Celebrate the Occasion: Challenge #22 - Shaped Christmas Card

ReplyDeleteLove it! I love the yarn. My husband loses one mitten a year and I always threaten him with mittens on a string if he doesn't knock it off. :) So cute.
