This card is for today's inspiration challenge. The alternating thumbs on the mittens reminded me of this card sketch. I tried uploading this card earlier, but could not get a descent image with the Soft Sky color. So I went back to the drawing board and used Blue Bayou for the mittens. But first I spent 7 hours helping my daughter strip wallpaper in her first condo. So here's my second attempt. Background is much more than shows up in the scan. I wheeled the jumbo Snow wheel with Versamark ink on glossy cs and then sponged Soft Sky ink over that. Stamped snowflakes in Versamark and embossed with white powder. Then stamped snowflakes again with Soft Sky ink. Mittens were inked with markers.
