So how about we start with a bit of Fall, since it is fast approaching in my neck of the woods...cooler nights and wonderful daytime temps!
This little cutie is from the Thankful Friend set and I colored her up with my Copics and fussy cut her out before attaching her to a Crimped Frame Die (The Greetery) that I blended a little bit of Salty Ocean DI to.
Not that I'm wishing for snow or anything, but had to color up this sweetie (Warmest Wishes) too, and then added her to a fun die cut background (one of Michele's dies that I LOVE!!) and a couple strips of DSP (Let It Snow - Carta Bella). The wooden snowflake is a an older SU! embellie.
And who could resist this sweet little girl from the Rain or Shine set?! Not me!! I did some Copic coloring on her and the rest (raincoat, boots, and umbrella) were paper pieced with PTI's Bitty Big DSP. The polka dotted frame is also PTI...Pierced Feature Frames Dies.
And this cutie is already to party with the Sweet Birthday Wishes set. Copic colored again and quite liberally doused with WOS, and then framed with DSP from MFT's Over The Rainbow 6 x 6 pad.
How about we switch up to a bit of Halloween? My granddaughter's favorite color is purple, so this sweet little card from the Spooktacular Friends will be going to her next month.
And this fun little mouse (also from Spooktacular Friends) will be going to my grandson. I embossed the background with a SU! Spider Webb folder and then lightly blended some gray ink over the top. Next I sprayed a LOT of Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spray over the web, and it really looks fabulous!!
Are you still with me??!! My last card is not an MFT one, but Michele had this daisy set (Uniko Gerbera) that I fell in love with, and had to stamp a few in different colors!
I used Catherine Pooler inks on the flower and leaves, and then added another strip of kraft cardstock that I used Michele's cool stitched die on. The "thank you" is PTI's Penned Elegance.
Can you tell that Michele and I had LOTS of FUN?!! We not only talked a blue streak, but we actually made quite a few cards too! Always fun to get together with stamping friends and sharing stamps...thank you SOOOOO much Michele for inviting me over and sharing...I had a blast!
