This set, Hot Stuff, is probably my most used set by My Favorite Things. Probably the fact that I just LOVE my lattes has something to do with it. I can’t go a day without my Starbucks! Well, I can but…let’s not think about “those” days!
There’s a sketch challenge posted today in MFT’s new Member Company forum at Splitcoast Stampers. Check it out! I only modified the sketch a tad.
As on most of my MFT cards, I paper-pieced the girl by stamping the image first onto the pinkish paper (mostly as a guide for placing the pieces). The dress, arms and coffee cup were all pieced and glued to the pink background square. I colored the inside of the tiny cup with a brown marker. The larger cups were stamped on various coordinating prints and cut out and “hung” on the brads. I used an X-acto blade to cut inside each handle and there’s a pop dot under each cup for some added dimension.
When I thought I had completed the front panel, it still looked a bit bare to me in spots, so I added some faux stitching using my mat pack and a Sahara Sand marker. The card base is Very Vanilla.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
