My Favorite Things…a sneak peek

Published by Shel9999 at 7:09 am under My Designs, My Favorite Things

FS1Hey there!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  It was gorgeous here, but it is COLD this morning!  BRRRRRR…..
My Favorite Things has three new releases November 1st, one of which is this set, By the Seashore.

I colored this image using Copic markers.  I’m still practicing my background shading so pretend it’s a nice, clear day.  :)  The hat is cut out and popped up for some added dimension and I used a deckle blade in my Fiskars Rotary cutter to get that ripped edge look.  I love being able to switch those blades for different edges.  And I haven’t cut myself again so that’s a plus!  :)

Cardstock:  SU Chocolate Chip, Papertrey Ink white     Patterned Paper:  Carol Wilson Fine Arts, Inc.     Stamps:  My Favorite Things “By the Seashore”     Ink:  Brilliance Graphite Black     Accessories:  Copic markers, black SU marker, vanilla taffeta ribbon, Karen Foster Designs loopy brads, pop dots, deckle edge blade/Fiskars rotary cutter.  Finished card size 4 ¼” x 4 ¼”.

This one is super simple.  The “hat stand” is actually the fancy little arrow thingy from the Boho Blossoms set.  As above, the hat is cut out and popped up.  I cut out the little flower too.  It’s raised on a balled glue dot.  The color combo was taken directly from the ribbon.

Cardstock:  SU Old Olive and Taken with Teal, Papertrey Ink white     Stamps:  My Favorite Things “By the Seashore” and “Boho Blossoms”     Ink:  Brilliance Graphite Black     Accessories:  Copic markers, black SU marker, glue dot, pop dots, ribbon (May Arts).  Finished card size 4 ¼” x 4 ¼”.

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll have more sneak peeks tomorrow!! Have a great day!

    I love the simplicity of these cards, Michele. And the ribbon!!!! I’ve been shying away from ribbon, but your card helped me to re-think ribbon.

    Oh, these are nice, Michele! The first card is really great with the way you added the hat. I love the second card for its meaning and simplicity. It has a lot of impact because of the simplicity. Love how you used the arrow thingy for a hat stand!
