Can ya dig it?
Happy Wednesday!! I have a couple samples today using My Favorite Things‘ second new release, Can Ya Dig It.
Planting Veggies
I didn’t pull this off as well as I had hoped (you know…vision in the head doesn’t always translate as well to paper), but I tried! I used one of the background stamps from MFT’s Behind the Scenes for the garden rows. Yes, I cut out all those little plants. I question my own sanity all the time so it’s totally ok to shake your head. After adhering the little plants, I used a brown marker to add a little mound of dirt at the base of each stem. Then I outlined a bit with two different gray Copics to add some shadow and depth.

Love Grows
There isn’t really a lot to say about this one. I paper-pieced. (Shocking, I know. 
) The hat is raised on pop dots and…I think that’s about it.
Don’t forget about the release party tonight from 9-11 est in MFT’s Member Company forum at Splitcoast!
Thanks for stopping! Have a great day!

These are soooo super sweet!!! I love them Michele! I just love those gardening accessories and the little rows of seedlings. I can’t wait till it starts smelling like spring here!
Awesome use of the bkgd stamp in the first card! Love them both!
I love the charm on the first card and the paper piecing works so well on the second card! TFS! Jeanne
I think all of the cards are great but I especially like the little garden scence and the charms are the perfect little addition. TFS! I love this new set by MFT, can’t wait to get it myself.
These are great stamps, love your cards.
these MFT cards are gorgeus and I appreciate all the cut out little plants with the mound of dirt ;-).
WOW! Michelle look at you!! Love how you used that bkgd stamp for garden rows! WOW! WOW!
What a great idea to use the stripes as garden rows! Too cute! And what cute gardening charms! Love the paper you used on the girl card! It almost looks “dirty”. Great shading too!
The garden rows are SO cute! Love your paper piecing ont he garden lady, too!
Both cards are wonderful, as usual! And I think your idea of using the background stamp as planting ‘rows’ was perfect (even if you had to cut out all those itty bitty plants -lol)! Very creative, Michele.
These are just fantastic!! Such creative ideas.
OOOOH how cute!! Looks like a great set! Love what you’ve done!!
Fantabulous!! So perfect for this time of the year, and I love the seedlings and charms!! Your second card is just so pretty!!! Love the paper piecing!!
Both cards are wonderful! I wish I had your patience with cutting things out! It really looks awesome!
Just in time for Spring! You do an awesome job on everything you touch, Michele! Always a little different and so very creative. Thank you!
I have to order this set! I am such the gardener as is my BFF! Beautiful cards! TFS- Deb
