Merry Monday #87 - Fair Isle Mitten

Hi Everyone,
It's time for another Merry Monday Challenge and this week we challenge you to create a card in the shape of a mitten or a card with stamped mittens on it. I went with the shaped mitten and tried to make it look like it was knitted in a Fair Isle pattern with some plain knitting at the opening.  My template is from the Cutting Café. I used an Artline pen to give the stag eyes and a nose. I stamped the reindeer on Watercolour paper instead of layering it to give more definition to the shape.  I finished off with a handmade tag, linen bow, crochet trim, snowflake and a button. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink In The Meadow, S/U's Petite Pairs
Card and Papers: Whisper White, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Watercolour Paper Scrap, Kaisercraft Christmas Carol DSP
Ink: Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake
Finishing Touches: Regals Collection Button, Copper Frost Bakers Twine, Natural Linen 1" Ribbon, Victoria 5/8" Crochet Trim
