Pastel Christmas...

Just before Christmas I received some pretty pastel Christmas papers with an issue of a cardmaking magazine. I decided to set them aside until after the holidays. Once I had some time, I took them out and made a few cards for my 2018 stash. This is one of them.

This lacy pattern on a pink background could definitely have been used for other occasions, but since it was included in the holiday pack, I decided to use it. It looks so pretty paired with a soft gray. My pictures really don't do it justice.

The sentiment was also included in the paper pack, along with several others.

The mittens were cut with an unbranded die out of white glitter paper. I was able to ink the ribbing on the cuff and thumbs right through the openings in the die.

I cut the mittens again out of silver glitter paper, and used the snowflake cuts to replace those that were cut out of my white mittens.

The little "dots" on either side of the smallest snowflake were little holes that were cut by the die, which I filled with Nuvo Crystal drops.

I used some of the white snowflakes that had been cut from my mittens to decorate the inside of my card.  Two strips of DSP on each side of my sentiment panel finished it off.

I'd like to tell you who made this sentiment stamp, but I'm afraid I have no idea. I really like it, though, and I think I'll use it a lot more.

I'm entering this card into Merry Monday's latest challenge: MM #275 Pastel Colors.

I'll be sharing a few more of my pastel Christmas cards with you in later posts.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
