Red Mitten Line

Inspired by another childhood favorite of mine - Too Many Mittens by Slobodkin. This book is out-of-print, but can be found from online resellers. A synopsis of the story can be found here in the customer reviews.
The card base is an A Muse French Roast notecard. Then I trimmed an A Muse Cabana blue dots notecard in half to only a card-front, then trimmed it's edges to look like trees and adhered it to the base. The line is hand drawn using an oval template as a guide.
Images, notecards, twinkle sticker by A Muse. Black ink, Colorbox Fluid Chalk ink, CM black journaling pen, Prismacolor marker, Art Glitter, Sakura Quickie Glue pen.

Nice mittens, and a great book, I remember that one. I wonder if my mom still has it around? What a sweet card.
