Caardvarks Hand Stitching Challenge

I just loved designing this card! I made the snowman without a pattern but rather cut two circles from my Cricut machine and just traced that on my felt. Then, I stitched all around both circles with an irridescent fiber, brown floss for the eyes, mouth, and to stitch the arms on, and then a cool blue Kreinik fiber for the nose and to sew on the buttons. I added a nice white organza ribbon and four little snowflake buttons to the corners. I distressed all of the edges with white paint that I also used to stamp "winter." I also glitterfied the area over "winter" for some sparkle. I mounted it all on a piece of Bazzill scallop paper.


Supplies:
My Mind's Eye: Bohemia Christmas
Bazzill scallop paper
Snowflakes from Michael's
Organza ribbon from stash
Felt from stash...probably from Joann Fabrics
Kreinik fiber
DMC floss and fibers
White paint
Winter stamp from Making Memories foam stamp set
Buttons from stash
