You Make Life Sweet

It’s Wednesday and you know what that means…time for another sketch with My Favorite Things.

You Make Life Sweet

This week I’ve used one of MFT’s newest and cutest releases, Pucker Up from the Pure Innocence line.

I used a bit of paper-piecing on the table, shirt and heart barrette.  The little sign was stamped again onto white paper, cut out and adhered.  I placed a tiny brad in place of the tack holding the sign, and I layered two suns, die-cut using MFT’s Sunshine Die-namics.

That fabby paper is from My Mind’s Eye new Lime Twist “Happy Go Lucky” paper pad.  It’s Eva‘s fault.   She made the whole team buy it.  Just kidding.  I *love* these new papers and am so thankful she made me spend my money.  😉

I carried most of the sketch over to the inside, stamped the image again and added the sentiment, bending the stamp to fit the size of the circle.  (One of the advantages of using acrylic stamps.)

You can find direct links to DT samples HERE on the MFT blog.  The info is also posted in the MFT Forum in SCS.  (Look for the most recent WSC thread numbered 18.)   And remember, if you upload your card to the SCS gallery using the keyword shown on the sketch, you will have the chance to win up to $20 in MFT money!  One winner is chosen at random each week.

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