Hello

Hi all!  Ok, one more card for the MFT Superstar contest!  Sadly my natural light was gone by the time I got the idea for this card in my head and had it completed but I still looove it{***edited: took my usual pics in natural light}!  I stamped several of the flowers and leaves from Blissful Blooms and colored them with Copics.  I've had these puppies sitting on my desk waiting to be added to a card for a couple of weeks now!  I used molding paste and the Formal Fleur de Lis stencil to help create a focal point on the pink lemonade card stock.    The flowers and sentiment (from the BB Polynesian Paradise set - partially stamped) are anchored by a piece of grout gray card stock that I cut out with the Cross-stitch Circle STAX.  I cut out the sentiment from steel blue card stock using an element from Blueprints 13.  I rounded the lower right corner to help balance everything out.  :D

Joy to the World

Hi all!  Here's another card I'm entering into the MFT Card Design Superstar contest. I couldn't wait to use this new New York Skyline die!  Hubby was born in NY and still has lots of family there, so I knew this would make for some awesome Christmas cards this year! (yay for getting another Christmas card done, right!?)  I cut the skyline out of silver foil paper and used the large rectangle in the Blueprints 13 to cut out the watercolor paper, as well as the edge of the skyline so that it matched up.  I used two different Ranger distress inks to create the sky. The sentiment, from the DC Ornament Banner Builder set, was stamped onto black licorice card stock that was cut out with a Blueprints 25 elements then embossed with white EP.  The sentiment and skyline were adhered with foam adhesive.  The card base is smooth white card stock.
