Another Christmas card - almost done! I stamped the mitten (from Repeat Impressions) on a shadow stamp and then on to a scrap of white cardstock to get a reverse image. Then I inked up the stamp again, stamped it off on scratch paper, then on to my white cardstock so that each stamped image would have the same intensity of black ink. I colored the pair of mittens with markers and cut them out. I attached a silver cord to each of them. I added some Star Dust Stickles to the tops of the mittens and mounted the mittens on Dimensionals. The background is stamped with another Repeat Impressions stamp using Baja Breeze. The snowflake panel is matted with Baja Breeze. The sentiment is also from Repeat Impressions. I added a little bit of glue where the silver cord crossed itself.
I was told (thanks, Joanne!) that this also works for today's color challenge, so I added it.

I thought those mittens were two stamps - great job with making a mirror image. So cute with these colors, it definitely works for the color challenge. It's nice to get Christmas cards done, huh? It will be a very lucky recipient for this sweet card. Blessings, Lela
