Thank You - MFT Style

Good morning!  I had a little crafty time yesterday with the midwestern storms that were brewing...and whipped up this cheery card using a couple of fabulous inspiration challenges, Tuesday Trigger: Feather Weather and The Shabby Tea Room Challenge: Shabby Sunshine...

plus a sketch from Stampin' Royalty.  Oh, how I love layers and ribbon:)

I used a watercolor technique again by spritzing a couple of ink colors on a piece of acetate and using it as an ink pad for my stamp...love the effect!  After a little layering, addition of ribbon, button, twine, and sequins...I really like how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by the stage!

Happy Heart Day

The Embellish Ribbon Color Challenge is to use the color combination turquoise, brown, pink AND to add ribbon...what a fun and happy color scheme. and...I love this darling sketch, Stampin' Royalty #4...I don't create a tag panel very often, but it's so cute...I should make tags more often. Oh...oh...oh...there's a new blog called Just Add Ink and the current challenge is to Just Add Hearts...go check it out!

I did some experimenting with the new epoxy brads...when you turn the prongs back, the centers don't pop out like the rhinestone brads, so I removed the prongs by twisting them off with tweezers...then adhered the epoxy center with Crystal Effects.
