FEB07VSNN: Sweetheart mrikitty Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens!
Sweetheart Hostess: mrikitty
Hi Stampers, I know we all have some: woollen mittens that is. I know these are some of my favorite things.
Can we break that down to WOOL & MITTENS?? Sure we can, here's the challenge:
Use wool, yarn or fiber somewhere on your creation, BONUS...try to use a mitten die-cut or stamp. Get creative and see what you can come up with!
I have 3 samples for you to be inspired by.
But mostly have fun!
You have 45 minutes to complete this challenge.
When uploading, be sure to put the challenge code
FEB07VSN in the keyword section. If you use additional keywords, you must separate them with a comma. The keywords ensure that I am able to find the card for judging!
Copying and pasting the keyword code is recommended to avoid typos.
You do not have to post a link to your creation or a thumbnail in the chat thread to be judged, though doing so will increase the number of views your card receives.
If you have any questions, mrikitty will be available in the chat thread. Happy stamping!

I have the perfect fibers - but I live in California, so mittens may be hard to come by ;)

Then I started just wrapping the bulky yarn around it til it was covered, i attacvhed a piece of coordinating printed paper at the bottom part of the mitten. then I used red line tape on the back and some lig. glue and attached it to another template this on a folded piece...continued

I put the end of a shorter piece of the yarn inbetween the front and the card, and applied pressure then brought the other end of the yarn up thru the mitten to attach the tag...I left a loop of the yarn at the bottom, so it would look like kids mittens with the attached "string". It is a but bulky but it worked.
