You're Grrreat!

For this week's My Favorite Things sketch challenge, I really wanted to use my new Pure Innocence Roarin' Good Day!

Using the new Dienamics Pure Innocence die - (I LOVE these matching dies - no more fussy cutting - not that it was such a big deal to trim and trim and trim- but this is so much faster yay)…I die cut this cute little tiger - stamped the image with MFT Black Licorice Hybrid Ink and coloured her up with my copic markers - very easy with this little image!

By semi-following the sketch ;) and using last month's Free with $60 dies, I die cut my patterned paper and adhered it to my white card base, along with a small strip of Black Licorice card stock along the bottom.

I popped up my coloured image and stamped the sentiment in ALL THAT WHITE SPACE - ugh I have trouble stopping myself from totally filling up that area!

The sweet little diecut paw print was adhered just to satisfy my thirst for all things NOT white space.

White space you can be so evil….

MFTWSC172 - The Rainbow Will Come

Another week and another My Favorite Things sketch challenge!

I turned the sketch around and used a Pure Innocence stamp for my main image.  I saw Michele Boyer's creation and it seemed like a wonderful thing to do!

I stamped the new Pure Innocence Sunny Thoughts with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink - great with copic markers, but I hear that MFT new inks are ALSO wonderful to use with copics - what's a girl to do?!!

I used a different sentiment - one from the a la mode collection called "The Rainbow Will Come".

The background was diecut using the Dienamics Peek-a-Boo Dots and my Vagabond....also the Fishtail Flags Layers STAX came in handy!

I think this would be a great "Get Well" card -or inspiration too!

How's It Growin'?

Good morning! The sun is shining and it is beautiful at home- COLD, but gorgeous!

I am desperately wanting to get outside to my flower gardens and start pulling the old stuff out - but it is still too soon, however I was inspired to bring out my little spring girlie to colour up for this week's My Favorite Things sketch challenge.

I stamped my Pure Innocence Little Gardener on X-Press it cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured her up with my copic markers.

The fence was die cut from the Sunflower Sweetheart Die-namics set.  I stamped the background with the Western Background stamp, then I cut out the little hill she is standing on using the Snowdrift Border Die-Namic.

I love the patterned paper -and I can't remember where it came from - dang it..

Have a fun day!

Ahoy!

Good Morning!

Another My Favorite Things card coming your way - today's card is the weekly sketch challenge on MFT….#163 wowzers - hard to believe!

Here is the sketch…..and my take on it…..

 I used Pure Innocence Sailor Girl for my focal point, stamped and coloured her with my copic markers and then cut her out.  I pretty much copied Michele Boyer's colouring for Sailor Girl except for using a different colour for her outfit….I love her copic work!

The rectangle background was made by sponging the Stencil Stripes with my Premium Dye Ink Pad Red Hot.  I die cut it using one of the panels in the Blueprints 10 Dienamics.

The Fishtail Banner and the small stitched banner piece are from the new Blueprints 12 Dienamics.  The anchor is from Dienamics Let's Get Nautical and the waves are from  Dienamics Making Waves.

Thanks for coming around to visit.  I hear that there is a 96 degree difference between my home in Ontario and down here in Punta Gorda!  -16 degrees F at home and 80 degrees F here……YIKES!!

Guess Who Loves You?

I know….two posts in a month - crazy isn't it?!  Hubby is finally starting to join into things in the park so I have some free time to stamp wahoo!

Drat….too late…..dang MacBook!  I chose to use this week's (almost last week's-hehe) MFT sketch challenge. I am using the cute little Pure Innocence Guess Who Loves You? stamp.

So sorry about the fuzzy photo…..trying to figure out how to edit on MacBook Air is killing me :)

I stamped and paper pieced her using some patterned paper and the Die-namics Blueprints 6.

The cute little doily is from Mini Delicate Doilies Die-namics and the hearts are from Die-namics Staggered Hearts Border….Love it!  I triple stacked the middle heart to show some dimension….

I cut the banner out myself, since I didn't bring that die with me to Florida - Oh how I wish I could have just brought everything!!!
