Jen Mitchell's Freshly Made Sketch #721 looks like it's made for a square card - but since I try to send or gift all my cards, I'm better suited to an A2 shape... it worked out and I'm sure Jen won't mind a bit!
This furry friend from Spellbinders Festive Friends suited
my rendition of Jen's Sketch, too!
I reimagined her sweater into a scarf and found a way to put Jen's circle to use by using EH's Essential Circles which allows as much of this strip of pretty print from HoneyBee's Snow Days collection to show through.
A very old MFT heart die was used to cut their Chili Pepper red cardstock
which was then embossed using a very old woodgrain EF from The Paper Studios.
This sentiment is from The Stamp Market's Kindness Matters set.
Now, let's go see what the rest of the FMS design team has made, shall we?
What will you put inside that circle - I can't wait to see!

We had the same idea of using this bear for a valentine, Michele. You'll see mine soon. I'm loving his/her scarf and that woodgrain heart! A fantastic way to use this sketch. You always inspire me, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI was so glad to see your A2 size rather than the square card...I don't mind making square cards, but I never seem to mail them. (Probably because I don't have any square envelopes!!) But anyway, your card is ADORABLE Michele!! I love that bear and her scarf...sooo sweet! And I love the color of that woodgrained heart too! Love the sentiment too! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteStinkin' adorable! Exactly what I would expect from you, my Friend! The bear is sweet and I adore the way you used the sketch -- and that paper! Oh my!
ReplyDeleteFabulous take on the sketch with that cute bear and the woodgrain embossed heart. Love that you make her scarf into a sweater as she is the cutest. Love your card Michele.
ReplyDeleteThe look on this bear's face is precious---as is the card! LOVE that woodgrain heart!
ReplyDeleteI love how you have combined those different shapes, textures and patterns. It works so well. A really cute card xx
ReplyDeleteOh, so cute, right down to her gorgeous scarf! I must try to remember to pull her out and play with her, too!
ReplyDeleteShe looks just a pretty as she can be in her fancy scarf! You worked magic with those layers and shapes, this is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and wonderful Michele. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the cutest card! What a darling little bear with a flowery scarf. The wood grain heart is so clever. Hope you're keeping warm and crafty, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOooo I just love this bundled up, adorable winter bear, Michele. Love the patterned papers you chose, the heart theme, and the way you put that circle to use. The woodgrain heart looks fabulous behind bear. I just love all of it!
ReplyDeleteMichele this is absolutely so sweet. I love that bear and the way you interpret the sketches!
ReplyDeleteIt couldn't be cuter or more clever and I love it a lot! Your cards always look "freshly made" and this is another fabulous example. Love the pretty paper and the Chili Pepper cardstock. If a bear were to have a heart it would be woodgrain just like this. I'm smiling!
ReplyDeleteHow much fun is this sweet card Michele. I love that fun bear and the sentiment is very special. This one is sure to bring a smile!! Enjoy your weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable card Michele. This bear makes a great V-Day card! :) xx
ReplyDeleteA super cute card. Love how you added the heart with the bear. A very nice design.
ReplyDeleteI just love this, Michele! SO many clever ideas - the re-invented scarf and pretty papers. The adorable bear and sentiment are delightful!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a sweet bear. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use that darling bear besides for winter or Christmas, Michele. And now you have me singing 'I Don't Have a Wooden Heart". LOL
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute!! LOVE the big woodgrain heart and his floral scarf!!
