You’re Too Sweet

        MFTYTS

In looking through my pile of unused stamps I found this little cutie, Lollipop Girl from the Pure Innocence line at My Favorite Things (currently MFTYTSCUout of stock but I’m sure it will be back soon). 

I kept my card pretty simple.  No layers other than the scallops along the bottom (using MFT’s Jumbo Scallop Die-namics border die). 

The background was created using an image from the I Want Candy set.

I cut a strip of crocheted lace to fit the exact width of the card front (because I didn’t want anything wrapped around to the inside).  I placed the tiniest dots of glue along each cut thread to hold down the ends and keep them from fraying.  Then I layered on top one of my favorite lavendar plaid ribbons.  It isn’t anything fancy or expensive.  It came from Michaels, but that color is so hard to find and I just love it.  (I’ve been hoarding it.)

MFTYTSINThe inside is pretty simple too.  A couple more layers of scallops and the word “sweet,” repeatedly stamped along the bottom.

If you decide to play along with Kim’s challenge, don’t forget to list keyword DTGD10KimHughes so we can see everything in one spot.  🙂

I’ll be back tomorrow! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
