Give it a Shot…and a Winner From the Hop!

TGIF!  I don’t know about where you are, but it’s gorgeous here.  I sure wish I could open the windows and let the day in.  Unfortunately, we have too many allergies at the moment so that’s not going to happen. 

I’ve been wanting to play with MFT‘s new I Get a Kick Out of You set from the Pure Innocence line. I finally had a (wee) bit of time.   (But I *need* to get crackin’ on some other things…yikes.  Where does the time go?)

Give it a Shot!

This is an unusually flat card.  Mine are typically rather thick and bulky.  I used no embellishments.  (Gasp!)   The layout is from MFT’s Wednesday Stamp Club (Sketch 17).

     

I did, however, use three of MFT’s Die-namics die-cuts to add a little extra something — Stacking Stars, Star Border and Simply Scallops.

I colored with markers, added grass with pencils and then cut around the one hand with a kraft knife, inserting a little volleyball beneath.  (My coloring is looking a little “watercolor-ish.”  Not sure I like that.)

On the inside, I stamped a silhouette of the girl and used a sentiment from MFT’s Essential Sentiments.

And now for some exciting news (for one person, anyway)!  I was the secret candy holder during our release hop Tuesday night.  My Random Integer Generator has selected #7 – CHRISTINE OKKEN as the winner!  Just for commenting, Christine will receive a $15 gift voucher to be used in the MFT shop.  Big thanks to everyone for stopping by!  🙂

I’ll be back soon!  Have a GREAT day!
