Hi folks...the count down continues
to Christmas!!! Today I am up at the Gypsy
Soul Laser Cuts blog again. So excited to be joining in with GSLC
girls! Today I have an old fashion mitten ornament and super dimensional
Holiday card to share. First up my ornament using the Mitten Mini Album.
I started by tracing my mitten onto pattern paper. I
used some gorgeous plaid paper from Authentique. I love the homespun
quality...perfect for my mitten.
Than cutting it out and
adhering it onto the chipboard mitten. I sanded and distressed the edges
a bit.
Gather up the GSLC goodies you want
to use to add personality. I decided to use a fun Victorian image to pair
with the Windows 4 Panel set. I also
used the Snowflake Shape Set. I inked my
chipboard pieces with a bit of white ink and aged them lightly. I wanted
to keep the kraft color but add a bit of white for a Winter appearance.
I made some handmade paper
fringe using some vintage crepe paper. I inked the edges for an aged
look. I wound some twine through the edge so the mitten can be hung or
tied to a package this holiday.
I started adding some goodies
to the top of my mitten...adding seam binding, pinecone, berries, and
greenery.
Next I layered my Victorian
family onto my snowflakes.
Last but not least I added a
sentiment using the Words & Phrases 1 set. I added
some faux snow and some rhinestones and was done!
Here it is done! All ready to
hang on a tree or tie to a pretty package.
If you didn't get a chance to check out Gloria's Christmas mittens from yesterday's post, please do so! They are gorgeous! Thanks for visiting me today!
hugs, Cherry
