I'll admit that this set had me stumped at first. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I started by stamping the vintage dress form onto a page from an encyclopedia. I took a copper sharpie marker and outlined the dress form. I then stamped the flowers from another MFP set called Pretty Pears. I water colored the flowers and added dazzling diamonds glitter to the centers of the flowers.  The butterfly is from another MFP set called Bearded Iris.  The sentiment is from MFP set called Roses

Check out what the other designers did with this set.

When I saw the skates image from this set, I imagined the skates hanging from the laces. My good friend Debra gave me this blue and white twine. It was the perfect for the laces. I cut the skates out and I used a paper piercing tool to make holes for the twine. I used a silver sharpie marker to make the blades of the skates. I added dp with snowflakes on it. I added dazzling diamonds glitter to the centers of the snowflakes. I used the sentiment from another MFP set called Brrr

The shape of this image made me think of a panel of stained glass. So I did faux stained glass technique. I stamped the deer and tree image first. Then I stamped the background from MFP set called CRACKED HELLO. I then took a variety of blue and green markers (crayola) and colored onto a plastic acrylic folder. I sprayed the scribbles with water and painted the image. The crackles help give a defined area to color. I tried not to color any two crackles that were next to each the same color. When I was done, I made an easel card base. I added burlap, lace and a button then added handmade quilled pine cones and punched branches. I added some styrofoam snow to the pine cones and branches. I used the sentiment from another MFP set called PINE BOUGHS
