Pink Snowflake Mittens

I have been having so much fun making Valentines for my Etsy store that I totally lost track of time and realized I haven't been doing any challenges this week. I came across Trendy Twine's challenge on their blog yesterday and knew I could get this one done.


I used the Holiday Cakes Cricut cart and pink BoBunny cardstock to cut out the mittens. I stamped them with Iron Gate Stamps' Sweater background stamp and embossed the cuff with Sizzix Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. I tied the pink buttons with some Valentine Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine and stamped the sentiment from Iron Gate Stamps' Snowflake set. The base layer is embossed with Cuttlebug's Snowflake folder. I inked the edges of the mitten and cuff with Tea Dye Distress Ink to help give it definition. I know... no Stickles:-( I thought about it, though:-)
