My sweet friend has gone home - I'm going to be mighty lonely tomorrow I just know it! I had a wonderful time and I hope TK did, too! More from our play day with Marcia, soon!
Yesterday while TK was stamping, I threw together what I 'thought' would be a cute card for Freshly Made Sketches #626... man, I should have taken a photo of Cecile's wonderful Sketch! I even forgot it was supposed to be a SQUARE! Oh well. Here's my card...
This card measures 4 x 7 inches and features a cute CCC set called Birthday Wishing and
a few very old die-cut balloons from SSS cut from very old MFT paper.
Though it can't be seen, I Wink-of-Stella'd the top balloon, and the ribbon on their gift.
Sorry I didn't have time for second helpings, Cecile - I promise I'll do better next time!

I LOVE this sweet birthday card! Those images are darling and your coloring is first rate!
ReplyDeleteSweet card using this fabulous sketch. LOVE the soft pastel colours with those adorable bunnies! xx
ReplyDeleteYour card is adorable no matter the shape! The sweet characters in this set always bring a smile! So happy you had a wonderful visit with TK. Again, one of those times I wish we were neighbors XO
ReplyDeleteyou have mixed those giant balloons with the little creatures perfectly and it works really well. Love that sentiment for a birthday too xx
ReplyDeleteTurned out so fun! Sounds like good times with your visitors too 😊
ReplyDeleteClever take on the sketch Michele, these critters with their balloons are adorable!
ReplyDeleteSUCH an adorable card, Michele, I just love this set and you used it masterfully! Yes, I've seen it but it still makes my heart happy -- square or not.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love how you used balloons!
ReplyDeleteTotally a cute card for the sketch! You know we are more "suggestion" instead of "rule".... :-) These little critters could not be cuter. Always happy to see you at FMS!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your time flew like the wind! Your card is delightful. Love the soft colors and the sweet images.
ReplyDeleteIt may not be square, but the cuteness factor overrides that in my humble opinion!! These paper mice (my favorite kind!!) and the bunny with his own balloon are just too CUTE and colored perfectly too! A perfect birthday card! I hope you're not too lonely today and that the "loads" and some stamping keep you extra busy! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI love that you amended the sketch...sometimes artistic license is a must. So glad you had fun with TK and that you got to have Marcia in too. Cool.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not square but super adorable, Michele! I'm not surprised that you had a great time with TK & Marcia. I hope you're not too lonely today. Maybe you have some more adorable CC critters that can keep you company?
ReplyDeleteEven without it being square I think it's very clever and perfect for the sketch. Super cute, too! I know you had a fabulous, if brief, time with your guest. Parting is such sweet sorrow. We had a guest here this weekend, too. Our son. It's been nice, but Sophie is going to be very sad when he leaves this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great take on the sketch! So clever to use overlapping balloons and those delightful CCC mice!
ReplyDeleteSuper-cute card, Michele - square or not :). These wee mice are so cute. Lovely to see you at FMS.
ReplyDeleteWow! This card is beyond cuteness, Michele! Thanks so much for joining us at FMS this week.
ReplyDeleteAdorable Michele!!
ReplyDeleteI saw it was square and still didn't make it that way, Michele. You needed a big one for those fun balloons and the little critters that are celebrating. It is a let down when you are alone but you have wonderful memories to keep you company.
ReplyDeleteThis card is absolutely wonderful. Love those little mice, the paper you used for the balloons, the brilliant interpretation of the sketch... and on and on. LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteI've been away for too long, this is such a brilliant design! I LOVE the big balloons behind the scene!
