This week's Merry Monday challenge is a Christmas card with mittens on it. I had a template for mittens from a card I made years ago so used it to cut out a pair from a scrap of dp that made me think of Scandinavian knitting designs. I added a strip of white cs for the cuffs and covered them with white Flower Soft. I had a perfect background dp with the reverse colour scheme (white snowflakes on red as opposed to the red snowflakes on white of the mittens). A heat embossed sentiment and a bit of cord twined around a brad finish it off.
I'm also entering it in the CASology and Addicted to CAS challenges (both of which are "snowflakes").

Hi Susan. The DP for your mittens definitely looks like the Scandinavian knitted pattern - perfect! Love the flower soft on the cuffs and the red cording tying them together.
You might want to enter your card into two other challenges - ATCAS (code word snowflake) ... and CAS-ology (also code word - snowflake).
