Warm Winter Wishes

 


This was a timely card to create after a huge winter storm warning starting last evening! We didn't get near as much ice and snow as predicted which is fine with me! I'm playing along with three challenges:

1. Just Us Girls #756 - Anything Goes/Die Week

3. Inspired By #317...Tea Time   
 
I used the newly released Build-A-Snowflake die set from Papertrey Ink and tweaked the sketch a bit to add the sentiment at the bottom.
I was very much inspired by the cable knit mittens rather than the tea theme in the Inspired By photo, so I stenciled the background using the Simple Stitch Crochet Small stencil set by PTI.
STAMPS: Trees 'N Patterns (Papertrey Ink).
INK: Slumber, Blue Jay, Saphire (Pinkfresh Studio).
PAPER: Stampers Select White, Vellum (PTI); Silver glitter.
DIES: Build-A-Snowflake (PTI); Stitched Banner Flags and Stitched Rectangles STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things); Nested Circles (Art Impressions).
OTHER: Jewel brad.
That's a wrap for today! Now to get some details done with transferring things to a new car I bought last week! After driving a white Honda CRV for 11 years, I decided to go with a 2025 RED CRV ExL!  We have long been Honda fans so if it ain't broke, don't fix it - haha! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!  ~Wanda
