MFT Cuttlebug Challenge & SCS too :o)

You won't believe it. None of my usual blither blather blabbin!
(well a teensy bit, hehehe)


This is for the latest Cuttlebug Challenge: MFT ! It was the first time I'd ever
used My Favorite Things stamps (well, used their digis that is.) Love em.


The roundness was inspired by another challenge: the latest Splitcoaststampers fan club interactive challenge--round inspiration. (I noticed I needed to renew my SCS membership, & lo and behold, they had a rockin' challenge!) :o)


The digital MFT image is printed & embossed on paper
that had matte medium wiped on it with a paper towel-fast!
It makes the sky really easy to blend with Copics.
&
The dresses are paper pieced on black & white paper that's
been coloured with Copic markers.



The flowers were punched & then I glued beads on 'em.

...and that's all she wrote...

...BUT...I also want to thank you for being so danged kind! Just when I'm feeling like a card is meh, or I've mangled my mojo--you perfectly fab peeps say some too-lovely things and make me all happy inside! Thank You from the very very bottom of my happy lil' heart!

Hey there, thanks for the tips....I just happened to print out one of those stamps on the gesso painted ledger. (yeah, I tried both, I was too impatient with the first batch....so I will play with my MFT stamp and paper piecing and see how it goes. Wonderful inspiration, you are!
