When I started out, I was just going to make a card for the Pinspired Challenge. Here's the challenge photo:
As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to pull out my Becky Oehlers' Warm Woolen Mittens stamp set. I had the idea to use the mittens to create a heart, but when I was putting it together, the lightbulb came on and I thought, "Why don't I cut a little window and put the heart on the inside of the card?" This might be the smallest window ever on a window card!
The little mitten strings are hand drawn, and I popped the mitten wrists up with foam tape. I had a heck of a time photographing the card....I eventually just used washi tape to tape it shut so I could get the photo with the heart showing through.
This what the inside looks like.
And that's all there is to it. Hope your day is off to a great start!
