Birthday Wishes

I made this card for a sketch challenge on the MFT forum on SCS. It looked like such a fun sketch that I just had to give it a whirl...and the best thing is I didn't cut into one new piece of cardstock or designer paper. :o) It is completely made of scraps (including the card base which I found in my Rich Regals stash).

The present image is from a MFT image swap I participated in back before Christmas and I colored it with Copics to match as closely as possible the dp. The ribbon is from the Target Dollar spot way back in June/July. I am tickled with how this turned out and know it will be perfect for one of my daughter's friends who is soon to have a birthday!

Have a great day!

Baby, It's Cold Outside

I love the paper piecing technique with the MFT stamps! These stamps make it so easy to do and there are so many great designer papers to choose from...just boggles the mind to think of all of the possibilities. This was the first MFT stamp set I bought and I just love it. I have Rain or Shine which (sadly) still hasn't seen ink yet :o( Hopefully, this coming week I will get chance. Do you have a favorite MFT set? If so tell me what it is... I love this one and A Scarf for Three. But I did see the new one that was just released Who's That E-Girl? and it is calling to me...

Have a great weekend!

Sparkly Snowman

There is a challenge on SCS (in the MFT forum) to make a card using the paper piecing technique with your MFT stamps. Since I just received my first MFT stamps last week, I just had to give it a whirl. I paper pieced so many parts on this card, I think I went a little overboard! :o)) I paper pieced: the coat, dress (underneath the coat), scarf, mitten, legs (which I colored with my Blush Blossom marker) boots and the blue snowflake background. I used the desginer paper Holiday Thyme (SU) that retired a couple of years ago. The blue panel I put through my Cuttlebug Snowflake folder and sponged over it with Bashful Blue ink.
I used Dazzling Diamonds Glitter for the snowman and snow. It is so sparkly!
Have a great day!
