Tea-licious

I just received this sweet Tea for Two set from MFT and had to get it inked up, so I checked the sketch challenge for this week (MFTSC72) & off I went; although I did have to flip the sketch on it's side!

The image is stamped on Gina K's Pure Luxury cs with mementos black ink and then coloured with copics. I cut out the bunny's bum popped it up plus I used liquid applique and glitter to make it like "Peter Cotton Tail" I added orange peel stickles on the polka dots on the cup.

The image is cut with a rectangle nesties and layered on a scalloped rectangle nesties. The card base is papertrey white cs, layered with SU's chocolate chip. The DS paper is from My Minds Eye and it's called Bloom & Grow - I love this line probably because it has orange/pumpkin in it!! I decided to stitch the DS paper and then added pumpkin ribbon. I didn't add the sentiment; I rarely put sentiments on my cards a habit that I am having trouble breaking - this way I can use it for anything

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day

Ciao Bella

I made this card for a girlfriend in Toronto - we lived close to each other here in Calgary then both moved to TO at about the same time & again lived 10min apart so I am having a tough time not being able to have a glass (or a few) of wine with her. When my hubby saw this card he said it could be for most of my friends, I see nothing wrong with that!!

For this card I used MFTSC66. I stamped MFT's Meet me at the Cafe on Gina K's pure luxury paper with Memento black ink and coloured the image with Copics except for the paper pieced dress, for that I used Basic Grey's Bittersweet 6x6 paper; I also used this for the awning of the cafe. I added some shimmer to the pink t-shirt Niji Pearlescent watercolours and outlined the chair and table legs with my black Atyou Spica Pen.

I hate to admit it, but I have been hording my SU hodgepodge hardware; why I am really not sure just hording so i finally broke into it tonight! The sentiment is from MFT's Essential Sentiments. The ribbon is SU burgundy, the image is mounted on SU Rose Red then on Pink Pirouette and the card base is Gina K's 120 lb cs (love that for bases!)

here's the scoop

I managed to complete an MFT challenge on time!

I had to flip the sketch to fit me image -

I used 2 sets from MFT the first is "here's the scoop" which I stamped on Gina K's pure luxury paper and then coloured the chair and girl with my lyra pencils, mineral spirits and stub. Every time I use them I think of Nicky :)

I decided to paper piece the floor so I used Co'ordinations paper to give it the look of a wood floor then for the wall s I chose stripes from Sassafras (hey isn't that a restaurant in Toronto?!) from their Life is Beautiful line called take a chance - really you would be taking quite the chance putting stripes like that on your wall!!

Naturally I made the ice cream chocolate; is there any other flavour to have?! To give it some glitter I used my pearlescent watercolours then on the ice cream I added some crystal effects. The image is mounted on SU's Very Vanilla and Chocolate chip. I used the distressed stripes folder from cuttlebug to emboss a piece of SU's More Mustard; then sanded down the embossed part.

The sentiment is stamped on a stamp from MFT's Going Places set on SU's very vanilla, I then added chocolate primas with SU's fire rhinestone circle brads.

Because I used SU's Chocolate Chip for the base I decorated the inside of my card. I have to say I really like how it turned out; I might have to start doing it more often! I mounted a piece of SU's Very Vanilla cs on a piece of the same designer paper. I inked the edges of the vanilla cs with chocolate chip ink. The image is from MFT's here's the scoop and the cone is stamped on SU's More Mustard, the ice cream part is naturally chocoalte.

Thanks for stopping by - have a great evening
