New à la modes-What's Cooking?

Tonight is Day Two of our My Favorite Things mid month teasers, and today we are showing you the second of our two new à la modes ! Tonight's set is called What's Cooking and is SUPER CUTE!! If you aren't familiar with this new line to MFT, here are the details!!

• à la modes will be available only in rubber
• Each set is produced in the USA using the highest quality rubber, with the deepest etch possible.
• Each image and sentiment is backed on cling foam and scroll cut, making it ready for stamping right out of the bag!
• Packaged in a clear hang bag, we've also provided the ideal storage solution by including a thick laminated header card in each set that can be used to store the stamp set, in its entirety after purchase.
• $10.95 for the 3 x 4" set.

For my card, I used a sketch from Taylor's blog from a few week's ago. My image was colored with Copics, and then layered with Red Hot, Berrylicious, and Hot Fudge card stock. My paper is part of the October Afternoon Fly A Kite pack....so YUMMY!! I added some SU ribbons and brads, and Creative Express spiral clips.

For the inside, I used more of the same, but also used my Open Scalloped Die-namics(it was used on the card front, too...I forgot!!)

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!! Be sure to head to Kim's Blog at 11am EST to see a list of designers that are showing teasers today!!
