Happy Thursday! Welcome to a Create with Connie and Mary new sketch challenge.
Today we have some beautiful colors to inspire you –
When I looked at these colors, I had thoughts of warmth and softness. So that is what I translated onto my card –
Don’t these look like really soft cozy mittens? Amazing how you can invoke this in a card design!
To start off, I used the Smitten Mittens bundle to create this card. I stamped the mittens and trim on a sheet from the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper (it’s actually the same sheet, just front and back!). Added the sentiment and stamped the snowflakes for a little dimension.
When it was finished, I felt it needed a little something, so I added the baker’s twine to the mitten edges.
Everyone on the Create with Connie and Mary Design team create some lovely cards! Go check them out.
When we inspire you, you can link up you card on our Facebook page!
