May Flowers Creative Challenge!   First up is my salute to Ombre. I cut this large heirloom rose Die-namics from multiple pieces of crepe paper and then dipped the petals in copic reinker and let the ends of the crepe paper soak up the color. Crepe paper is also so pliable and I could curl the petals too.
Be sure to head over to MFT central....and check out what the rest of the DT created with flowers!
I also did a little ombre treatment to the seam binding ribbon. Then I stamped sentiments from the "Birthday Sentiments" set.   I first attached some "heat and bond" to my fabric, this makes for nice clean cuts through my die cut machine. I used the "Flower Medley" for this project. I stamped the sentiment from "Inspired by Flowers 4" in versacraft ink. I made a little matching card and then adhered buttons to the centers of the flowers.       
Spread Your Wings Marie.....Back from a week of the Sound of Music performances. There are a couple of photos at the bottom of this post....
  I used some brand new releases from My Favorite Things. I started out by faux letterpressing the "Feathers and Arrows" Die-namics to a whipped cream card base.
I then cut out a separate mask using the feather for 2 purposes.... 1. To use the cut out feather to trace around on my card front using a 0.3 Sepia Multiliner. 2. To use the negative portion of my cut out and lay it over the card front lining up the feathers....I then airbrushed the feather with YG25 and BG15 Copic markers. I just have to say.....I LOVE my AIRBRUSH.....I use it SO often! I stamped the sentiment from the "Right on Target" stamp set in both kraft and berrylicious inks and then added the date with the "Bottom Line Numbers and Symbols" Die-namics in the same whipped cream paper. Below is a look at the inside....I tried to take a large enough photo so that you could see the pretty faux letterpress indentation on the inside of the card as well.   Below is a shot of her and Rolf (played by Mitchel Janzen)...their "16 going on 17" song was SOOOO sweet!   Release Rewind  Today I have a fun little card to share that I didn't get to share during release week at MFT...I guess that is why there is a special post a week later called "Release Rewind".
SUPPLIES:
This is Farmer Girl. I have stamped her on X-press it blending card with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with my Copic markers. I even when in with my multiliner and added a few bits of cross-hatching on her overalls and some freckles to her face. The card was quick and easy to put together with the new Blueprints 3 Die-namics and some Mint Julep patterned papers. Below is a peek at the inside of the card....done up with some more pieces of the Blueprints 3 and a sentiment from the Farmer Girl set. Be sure to visit the MFT blog today to see all the neat Release Rewind projects! Happy Monday:)

Tonight I am showing you "Turtle Girl". She is the newest from the Doodle Garden line. I stamped her on X-press it blending card and then colored her with my copic markers....I then cut her out with one of the pieces from the Blueprints 3 Die-namics and airbrushed the background with R11. I paired her up with Mint Julep patterned paper from Basic Grey and used one of the sketches for the blueprints 3 that you can find HERE. On the inside I used the wonderful scallop border that is in the Blueprints 3 set and a sweet sentiment from Turtle Girl. SUPPLIES:
