This week for MMSC#64 I have Oliver on Snowy Branch from Sew Many Cards. Look at poor Oliver, he looks pathetic in the snow...exactly how this tropical girl would look should we ever get snow. We had a very cold winter this past season and I couldn't get my feet warm until May!!! Snow is just out of the question.
I don't have very many punches on the outside of this do I. I did emboss the cardstock though. I colored my image with pencils and used baby oil to blend. I traced my image with stickles. The snowflakes are buttons and my sentiment is from one of those dollar sets you get at Micheal's.
Thank you for stopping by today. I will be having more cards this week because I went on a Fred She Said card making frenzy. I have been crafting away. So, I will see you again soon.

Well there you go again, Carol! It's no wonder you're on the DT with cards that are always a perfect interpretation of Priscilla's sketch. wow, you sure decked all the halls with this one! Yikes, so many wonderful elements and textures! Ooooh, leave it to you girl to never miss one detail. I cant imagine how long your cards must take from to conception to completion. This is really wonderful.

This is so cute, Bearzi!!! You did a great job making this little guy look *cold*!! The snowflake buttons are adorable, and I love that sentiment. Great pearl flourish, too--you always use those to best advantage!! Nicely done, Carol! This is really terrific.

Oh it's one gorgeous card!! What a lot of wonderful detail!! I love the ribbon tabs in each corner, and the gems!!! Oh my Bearzi - this is sooooo darling!!

Oh, Poor Oliver, I know just how he feels. I am always freezing. Just give me summer and a lot of heat. He is such a cutie, though, and stickled with just the right amount. Great find on the sentiment at Mike's. Adorable card!!!

Bearzi - this is another wonderful MMSC card. I always look forward to your cards so much and this one did not disappoint me. Owls are so popular right now, and this image has so much character - I can almost see him shivering. I love every little detail on this but my favorite parts are the image and the fun colors you chose. Outstanding card!

What a cute image!! Love how you mounted him on the snowflake EF and the flurry of snowflakes all over is perfect. Darling card.

Don't you just love card-making frenzies?? I had one on Monday, but then have to give it up until maybe tomorrow, or possibly next Monday. Construction here at the house - ugh.
Your Oliver card is adorable!
