Here’s this week’s sketch. You can find the sketch on the MFT blog and also in the MFT forum on SCS, as well as in the weekly newsletter. The Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

I decided to bring out one of my favorite Flopsey sets for this card, Rainfall Flopsey. So, OK, it’s a little colorful and busy, I’ll admit. But it’s happy!!! :) Look at her boots—I want them!

Flopsey is colored with Copic markers and her umbrella and boots were paper pieced. I tied a big ol’ sunny yellow gingham ribbon on with a twine-tied button to hold the sentiment on. I’m SO not over bows :) I added some small rhinestone raindrops to the rainbow and popped Flopsey up on foam dots

Here’s the inside, with more die cuts and another sweet sentiment from the set.

I used these  dies on this card:
Jumbo Open Scallop Die-namics, Sunshine Die-namics, Flat Bottomed Clouds Die-namics, First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics, and Rainbow Die-namics.
