Primarily Purple

Posted on October 30, 2010 | 10 comments

Hello.  It’s time for another challenge with Kraftin Kimmie.  This week Andrea is challenging us to use lots of purple on our cards.  I don’t often use purple as I find it really hard to match accessories and such so this actually was a bit of a challenge.

Hugs and Kisses

Here I’ve used Raychel (along with her accompanying sentiment) from Kimmie’s Moonlight Whispers line.  As my daughter would say, “She’s fancy.”  🙂

 

After coloring her with Copics, I added sparkle to her eyelids and hair using Lilac and Buttermilk Spica glitter pens.  On her lips I added a bit of shine using a clear 3-d glaze pen.

You can see more purpley cards HERE.  And as usual,  if you want to play along, be sure to post a link to your creation on the Krafty Blog for your chance to win a free stamp from Kraftin Kimmie!

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

MFTeasers, Day 1

Posted on October 30, 2010 | 35 comments

Welcome to Day 1 of previews of the November releases with My Favorite Things!   As in past months, with the previews come teaser prizes!  Be sure to leave comments as you visit each blog because every day leading up to the release on November 3rd, you could win one of two free NEW sets!  Every day!  You can find the complete list of participating DT members HERE after 11 a.m. EST. 

Today the team is sharing samples of Wyatt Chillin’, Emma Celebrates and Mini Banner Day Alpha set with Die-namics Banner Strip!

Just Chillin’

I’ve used cute little Wyatt Chillin’.  Doesn’t he look so proud of his snowman? 

I paper-pieced Wyatt’s hat, scarf, coat and pants as well as the snowman’s hat and scarf, adding in bits of shading with markers after the image was assembled.  I dusted the ground, snowman and air with Twinklets Diamond Dust (something Jody made me buy eons ago…I have a lifetime supply).

       

On my card front, I also used MFT’s Snowflake Trio Die-namics (currently out of stock) as well as the Small Scallop border.  (I used the snowflake die to cut thin acetate, running it through my Cuttlebug several times to achieve a crisp, clean cut.)

On the inside, I inked just the snowman portion of the image, omitting the part where Wyatt’s mitten overlaps the snowman.  After stamping, I drew that part back in with a marker.

Some things to remember:

  • The MFT release is on November 3rd at 10 p.m. EST. You can attend the release party from 8-10 p.m. EST here in the forum for fun, games, and prizes!  All the new sets and dies will be available on November 3rd at 10 p.m. EST.
