Claire contributed this fantastic sketch for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. I especially like circular cards so in spite of being super busy getting ready for our trip to Mexico for hubby's youngest son's wedding, I just had to take time for this challenge!
One of the first WM sets I got was Sewing Box-Christmas and I love it as much today as when I first got it. Whenever I use the mitten, I like to make one showing the outside view and the other with the palm. That way I can chose a coordinated pattern to finish the palm side. This is some patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket-a pad called Mitten Weather (appropriate, don't you think!). The white was embossed with a houndstooth pattern and the card background is embossed using a plaid folder. I also like the effect you get from paper piecing and that technique works great with the Sewing Box sets.
Thanks for dropping by. This probably will be my only post this week!
Hope you have a good one,
Sharron

This is such a great card and I love the idea of the inside and outside of the mitten. The patterned paper is adorable, but the embossing folders steal the show on this one. You did a really good time with the sketch. I hope you have a wonderful trip.
