Hello, friends! Another Jen, another fun sketch for you at Freshly Made Sketches #709!
I spy with my little eye a square card! I'll admit I don't make them often, as there
is something about that smaller creative space that feels limiting! But I found a way around that and am happy as a clam penguin about the results...
A fun 'waves' embossing folder sent from a friend was turned into
drifting snow - isn't it great?
Yes. I did use a bit of felt and was really surprised how easily those Playful Penguins dies from Spellbinders cut through it! I turned Jen's banner into a snuggly
scarf with a few snips of my scissors and added a 'tag' with my sentiment - an oldie
from Ellen Hutson.
Wasn't he so nice to lend a 'helping flipper' while I tied my bow? lol
Oh, the possibilities are endless if you just open up your imagination!
Speaking of - check out what the rest of the FMS team made HERE.

Oh my goodness, you've outdone yourself! Cuteness overload! I would love to cuddle that little penguin myself!
ReplyDeleteHow clever to use felt for this sweet fella's sweater and scarf to keep him warm in all that drifting snow. You need to keep him around to help you tie your bows.
ReplyDeleteLove love your card and the felt scarf and details!! Thank you for sharing the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow, but you made some real creative magic here!!! What a terrific idea and fun texture. You rocked it (again)!
ReplyDeleteThis is so warm and cozy! Simply adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh my. This is just too much!!!! In a wonderful way. The felt!!!!! So incredibly adorable! What a great idea to use it with this little cutie! Love the waves, I mean ice, too!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwww...your little guy is just too cute Michele and I adore his felt sweater, hat & scarf!! Your snow drift background was the perfect match too! Yep, I'm totally smiling at this sweet, sweet card!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh, I just wanna hug him in his cozy felt sweater! And way to rock that EF like you said you would! So, so creative!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how cozy the felt makes this card! That little penguins is a cutie and so is her oversized scarf!

ReplyDeleteOhhh, I am getting a chill...I might need to borrow that scarf. So cute.

Absolutely adorable, Michele! So cute and cozy!
ReplyDeleteThat felt is fabulous and perfect for a scarf on the card, Michele. The penguin looks proud of his new sweater. Adorable and creative card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling little card!! I love the felt - it looks cozy and just perfect!! What a cute and charming little penguin!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAn absolute beauty of a card, made so much more unique with the felt! Very clever of you, and it makes me want to touch it. Love this, Michele!
ReplyDeleteJust adorable! Yes, a special and clever card. Congrats on designing it.
ReplyDeleteOMG how creative & adorable! You are so clever!!
ReplyDeleteI really love the mottled look on your felt. Definitely really cozy xx
ReplyDeleteOh my, Michele! this is SO fun! The penguins head is being blown to the side by that embossed wind background and I love your use of felt - I was just recently thinking about the big box of felt I have, purchased when I was seeing a lot of felt on cards years ago. You have inspired me to think about using it like this - It's wonderful how the sweater shows the die cut pattern! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I had fun dressing up some penguins in felt for Spellbinders this month... but yours looks so much more luxurious... what a happy warm little penguin!
ReplyDeleteOh, what? This is so adorable and what a fab and clever way to use felt.
ReplyDelete*goes in search of dies to use with felt*
Well, isn't this just the cutest thing! Clever idea for the felt and the sketch, and love the snow waves embossing!
ReplyDeleteCozy indeed - love the scarf!
ReplyDeleteaah, that wavy background for snow and felt for the warm feelings, a perfect match!
ReplyDeleteCool! I love how you used the scarf as the banner. Thanks for your visit to my blog and your sweet words!
ReplyDeleteYou rocked this card. I LOVE how you used the felt and that wavy background is GENIUS to use for snow banks.
ReplyDeleteOMG! If this isn't just the cutest little penguin with the head tilt! Such a fun and textural card!
ReplyDeleteMichele, I can't even... This is just too cute! I love your penguin staying cozy with that felt!!
