This week's Featured Stamper is the incredibly talented Micheline Jourdain. Many of you may know her better as MimiAlaCarte. I have been a HUGE fan for YEARS! She was one of the first card artists I regularly followed; initially on the Penny Black blog and then on Pinterest and Facebook and now YouTube. In fact, here is a card from early on in my Gallery: F4A529, WT787 Butterfly Wishes by DebbieinOC at Splitcoaststampers
that was inspired by Mimi's beautiful work here: Purple rain for Prince by Micheline Jourdain at Splitcoaststampers
Mimi excels at combining various PB stamps together to create beautiful scenes but I especially love when she adds one of the PB critters or characters into them as she did here: Renard en forêts by Micheline Jourdain at Splitcoaststampers
I substituted that adorable fox with my fav snowman--SNOWY!
Finally, Mimi's work is filled with gorgeous winter scenes and Christmas greetings with examples too numerous to list here. So, I added a Christmas greeting as well.
For my card, I more or less followed Mimi's technique shown in the video embedded in her fox card. I wanted to use all PB stamps, but alas my PB tree stamp was just too big so I went with these smaller guys. Snowy is stacked three high and part of the sentiment stacked four high.
Congratulations Mimi on being selected this week's Featured Stamper. Your work has inspired for years and continues to do so. I hope you enjoy the cards you have inspired here. And, I hope everyone feels inspired today to do something they love or with somebody they love. TFL

What is it about Snowy that makes him s-o-o adorable and so huggable?? He's in his element with those beautiful trees in the background! Thank you for sharing the many details about Micheline and her art .... I'm a new fan of hers!
