MFT - Thank You

I recently got some MFT die-namics and a PI stamp set. I went to MFT's blog to see what challenges they have going on and what did I find? A guest designer sketch challenge. Music to my ears so I had to join in.
I used this adorable PI stamp. I stamped her using Memento Tuxedo black ink then colored her in with Copic markers. I used one of the smaller oval dies for the sentiment. I cut out the die, stamped the sentiment, then trimmed off the excess to adhere to the right of the image. I added zigzags and straight stitches then used a die-namics mini rolled rose die to create my rose and add it to the top of the ribbon. 


Here's the sketch I used.

The ladies over at Crafty Ribbons Challenge is having a DT call so I thought it would be fun to toss my name in the pot.

The Stamping Boutique Challenge #46

This is my second post for the day. Please scroll down for my first post.

I made this birthday card using The Stamping Boutique's Happy Birthday Car digi stamp. This is such a fun image to color. I love the cute little flowers all over the car. It's pretty groovy. I colored in the car using Copic markers and cut out the shape with a Nestabilities die. I added straight stitches on the patterned papers and used My Favorite Things doily die to add the birthday sentiment. I then tied the ribbon onto the card front and added the blue brads to finish off my card. Head on over to The Stamping Boutique's challenge blog to see more DT inspirations and enter to win some fun digis.
