Merry Mittens
Sometimes I make a card, and then try to find challenges that it fits, and other times I find the challenges, and make the card to fit. Sometimes it takes multiple challenges for a card to click in my head. I started out with the idea to make a Christmas card, then found a card recipe at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown it get the basic elements, a sketch at Sketch Saturday to get the basic shape straight in my head, and for a little extra pow, I picked up the stitching challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge. When you have that much inspiration at work, putting the card together is easy.
In addition to using an a•muse studio stamp set, I wanted to try out a new Tim Holtz alpha die - Alphabetical. (which makes it eligible for the Cut It Up challenge!) I think it might edge out Wingo Zingo as my favorite alpha die. The letters are so fun!

I love the pattern paper and the jewels. I can't find your ribbon, but maybe it's hidden in the picture? Great card anyway, and thanks for playing along at 52CCT!
