For Limited Supply Challenge to recycle and re-use, and for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge...to be inspired by her teapot, and awesome card seen here:
Got a mitten gift card holder from Starbucks for my birthday...decided to cut it up and make Mr. Snowman's jaunty hat and scarf! Used a broken clothespin for his nose, though it may fall off at any second! Used chipboard buttons that I received as a gift from One4Joy! Smashed them in white pigment ink, then embossed them with white puff embossing powder. Background made to look like pottery, used white pigment ink on burlap background from CHF!

You make the cutest darn cards! How fun that you cut up a gift card holder to make your parts! Hey, as long as the nose stays on long enough to take a picture, its all good! This is a precious little card! He looks wonderful against the dark background!
Thanks for coming to the teaparty again! Its fun doing tea with you! And thanks for the link! You rock!
