Today, I'm sharing the first of a month-long share of my newest collection of stamps from Colorado Craft, illustrated by the one and only Anita Jeram! think you don't know her? Just remember one of the favorite children's books called Guess how much I Love You? It will all come back to you ... and IF you didn't read that book to your children, or grands - do so now!
CTS#397 is a Retro Sketch from August 2016 ... shown here:
I've taken a great amount of artistic license this time, moving the main items to the bottom of my card ... they just fit better there on my slimline card!
Aren't they adorable?? Each week I'll be sharing another card using another set - hope you like them!
So! Did you play along in 2016? Take a peek, then why not reinvent your own card?
We can't wait to see it!

ReplyDeleteFun interpretation of the sketch Michele and a darling of a card x. Popped back to see your 2016 card and it is beautiful x.
ReplyDeleteYes the 'I love you' books are great x.
Oh my talented friend. Now you've done it. You OWN my cardmaking admiration. Such a sweet, well crafted card...it actually brought tears to my eyes. (Either that or I'm really hormonal today.)
ReplyDeleteI can see why that stamp set is out of stock...it is ADORABLE!!! Sweet as can be, you are such an enabler, I'll bet lots of people will go running for it!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my days! Just look at that card - it's FABULOUS! Just love the design and your colour choice. You are talented, Michele, Jo x
ReplyDeleteBy all accounts you are very lucky to have got your hands on a set of those stamps. I am very glad you did because this card is fantastic, love the muted colours with that little pop of peach xx
ReplyDeleteThose images are adorable, Michele, and if I were a Copic colorer like you I'd be standing in line for a set. I love the arrangement of them on your slim line card.
ReplyDeleteSigh... I'm in love. Goodness gracious this couldn't possibly be any sweeter or more adorable. I haven't ventured into slimline dies territory, but this one is calling my name!
ReplyDeleteThis card is sooooooooooooooooooooo stinkin' CUTE Michele...LOVE it! And I just put this stamp set on my Christmas wish list for Sue and it says it is in stock as of just a few minutes ago! But anyway, your card is adorable and I'm loving the coloring and can't wait to see more next week!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteSo darn cute Michele, I've got the 'kitties' here to play with, I just have to finish my christmas series first (or not) lol.

ReplyDeleteOh so cute! Love that you switched it up for a slimline card.
ReplyDeleteEverything about this card makes me smile. Love your fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteOnly you could make a gaggle of mice look adorable! We have been waging war against those critters since the weather cooled and a family moved into the basement! Never ends around here! Ok I am through complaining....sweet sweet card!
ReplyDeleteDarling images, and this card is so fun & fabulous! Love the images, and the colors you chose
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming little scene you created!! I had no idea there was a connection to the children's book!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous take on the sketch, Michele! Love your layout and those adoooorable critters! The light gray pattern in the background, the soft colors of the critters with a pop of balloon, and the scallop frame are pretty x 3!
