A big congrats to Tara, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a wonderful gallery and I chose THIS to case. I kept the pink & white colors & vertical layered layout, but I used different images, stamped the background instead of embossing, moved the embossing to the mittens & made mine a winter card.
I stamped the Winter Words repeatedly across the white panel w/ pink chalk ink then added a die cut pink layer behind it. The Warm Wishes was stamped on a stitched arch then I added just the bow from a die cut star die & punched two mittens out of pink, embossed them w/ a knit folder & used a white Permapaque marker over the top of the embossing. A few pink die cut snowflakes finished it.
Happy New Year & thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, you always amaze me with your cards. I love the background stamp and your half-circle for your sentiment. I was really drawn to the mittens. Gorgeous card with amazing details.

This card is so eye-catching - I literally had to stop when it popped up! It's those mittens! So tiny yet they really pack a punch - and the colors. Just wow!
