MFT Sketch 446

I'm keeping that Christmas in July theme going this week … a sweet set borrowed from Marcia just had to be shared... MFT's Sketch #446 was the inspiration for my card design using her little Happy You Day Pure Innocence stamp and die. 


I've used their Drifts & Hills stencil to create a little walk in the Winter wonderland across the three scored panels from the Sketch - which you may have noticed has been flipped.  The sentiment was borrowed from Stacey Yacula's Warm & Feathered Friends.  Those sweet little snowflakes from Hand Lettered Holiday.

It has really cooled off again, and the humidity has lifted - such a welcomed change!  I may just have a few more Christmas in July surprises for you this week!

    Absolutely adorable! I love your background, looks so REAL! The humidity is still here, but I hear thunder as I type this, and the forecast is supposed to be better tomorrow....but we have to go through the RAIN first!

    So sweet! I love the bit of holly on the balloon, the snow drifts are dreamy, and that cute little girl. Another beautifully done card, Michele.

    Oh, Michele, this is such a darling take on the sketch! Your Copic coloring is perfect and I love how you added score lines with your beautiful snowy hills!
    So glad it's cooled off for you again...not so much for us, especially with a few nasty power outages!!!

    This is such a sweet card Michele and I love your take on the sketch. Your snow hills are amazing looking and the little teeny tiny snowflakes are perfect in that gray snowy sky, but it is the little girl that steals the show! She is totally adorable in her green and red for Christmas. Love it! Hugs, Brenda

    Michele, your take on the sketch is so clever that it blends into your Winter Wonderland scene. Love the softly stenciled beautiful hills and the girl's holiday color outfit!
