Your Next Stamp Diva Dare - Patterned Pizazz!

Today I am joining along as one of the November Guest Designers with Your Next Stamp for the Design Team's Diva Dare Challenge!  I hope you will visit the  YNS blog to link up with everyone that is playing along! And don't forget to leave a comment on the YNS blog for a chance to win!

The challenge this month is called "Patterned Pizazz" and the challenge is to use at least 3 patterned papers on our projects!  What fun!  I love patterned paper so this was a lot of fun for me.  Here is what I came up with:

I cut about 20 1/2" strips of scrap papers and then pieced them together with tape runner onto a piece of copy weight paper.  Once I had finished I had one large piece of striped paper in a repeating rainbow of patterned papers!  From that paper I die cut several sets of mittens using the wonderful  "Winter Mitten Die Set".   I used just one set of the mittens to create my card for today:

 I embellished the mittens using die-cuts from the ric-rac and snowflake dies that are included in this set.  The sentiment is from the new "Ice Skating Phoebe" stamp set and is stamped in chartreuse ink. 

A pink gingham ribbon creates a holder for the mittens which were placed on some circle die-cuts in Aqua and Pink.

Here is a picture of the Winter Mitten Die Set: 

I hope you enjoyed looking at my card!  I sure enjoyed reading all of the lovely comments on my release day post!  I am so enjoying my guest design month with Your Next Stamp!  How wonderful to get to work with their fantastic products that I love so much!
