Winter Foliage Mitten

Hello, friends! It’s Lindsey here and if you’ve seen any of my projects from this release, it probably comes as no surprise that today’s card uses the new Winter Foliage Dies. I feel like I’m constantly saying how much I adore them and how I want to use them on everything, and well…I pretty much have.  Lol.  

For today’s card I’ve paired the Winter Foliage Dies with the new Mitten Shaker Dies, and truly they are a match made in heaven. I’m also using a color combo that is making me smile this season: aqua, teal, eggplant purple, white, and grey.  

It may surprise you, but I’ve used two stencils on this card.  Instead of inking them up, though, I used them to dry emboss. First, I used the Layered Snowflakes Stencil to emboss the card base. I just wanted a few snowflakes in the background, so I only embossed the largest snowflake layer. Next, and you have to look reeeeallly close to see this in the photos, but I embossed the inside of the mittens with the Mini Grid Stencil. I embossed it on the diagonal and it adds some really fun texture.

To adorn my mittens I created a floral spray using lots of bits and pieces from my beloved Winter Foliage Dies. I have made so many arrangements with these, and I’m convinced you can’t go wrong. All the stems and florals look great together. I have to admit, though, I just love the little pine cone tucked in there.

The sentiment is made up of the “merry” die in the new Merry & Bright Script Dies and “Christmas” that was selectively inked from a sentiment in the Holiday Envelopes stamp set. I just love this rich eggplant color! 

Thanks so much for joining me today! This new release is packed full of things that mix and match so perfectly together. You are going to love everything!
