MFTWSC106-I Adore You

*** For my Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps post, please scroll down!!!*** 

  Hey everyone, and happy Wednesday!! That means it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge from My Favorite Things! It's MY favorite

                                               sketch challenge!

For my card today, I used the SUPER cute new Doodle Garden set-I'm Raptor Round Your Finger. He was paired with some Basic Grey Archaic paper, and my cardstock colors are Orange Fizz, Jellybean Green, Hot Fudge, and Sweet Tooth. My image was stamped on X-Press It blending card, and then colored with my Copics. I used the Oval Stax Die-namics to cut him out, and layered him using the Oval Open Scalloped Doily Die-namics. At the bottom of my card, my sentiment was cut out using the Mini Tab Foursome Die-namics, and under that I used the Double Dot Border Die-namics. My finishing embellishment touches are hemp cord and Michael's brads.

 Here are the Die-namics I have used:

Tonight, I am showing off the new Laina Lamb set: Journal It-For The Record. It will sell for $15.95.

I started by stamping my lined paper pattern on some MME Union Square paper with Black Licorice Ink. I also stamped the For The Record sentiment, and then layered it with Black Licorice cardstock. My edges were sponged with Black Licorice ink, as well. My other cardstock colors are Wild Cherry, Whip Cream, and Fossil. To embellish my card, I used some Michael's brads, Wild Cherry grosgrain, and hemp cord. I used the new Keys and Locks Die-namics on my hemp cord, and one of the Rustic Hearts Die-namics on my sentiment panel. For that panel, I used part of the Layered Label Die-namics.
