Jet Setter

Guess you can tell my weekend was taken up with colouring PI cuties!  There's a sketch contest at My Favorite Things this month and the winner gets to be the MFT Guest Designer for June.  MFT is definitely a favourite stamp company and I absolutely LOVE their stamps and Die-namics.

Here's the lovely card sketch.  I decided to pull out an older Pure Innocence set for my card.  One of my great 'loves' is to travel and I love that there is a perfect MFT stamp set for me to showcase, Pure Innocence "Are We There Yet?".

The PI girl was coloured with Copic Markers - Hair (E21, E23, E29), Skin (E50, E01, E11, E13, R21), Top (B21, B41, B445), Shorts (B60, B63), Bags (R20, R22, R24, R29, C1, C5), Slippers (R20, R22, R24, E01, E13), Outline (B000 & Colourless Blender).

I used quite a number of Die-namics on the card - Loopy Bloom (the gorgeous white felt bloom), Eiffel Tower (cut from patterned paper), Textile Rectangle (the PI girl image), Mini Tabs Foursome (sentiment - Jet setter), Perfect Bracket Edge (to cut the bottom edge of the white felt), Little Open Scallop Strip border (the borders along the white felt), Skyline Border (the skyline strip behind the image) and the Solid Bracket Border (cut from red patterned paper just underneath the skyline strip).  Wow, I didn't realise till I started listing, this must be my record use of Die-namics on a single card!

Another MFT product I really love (and can't find any that match the quality) is the MFT Felt.  There's a host of colours and they are the BEST felt to use with the Die-namics.  It cuts perfectly everytime! On my card, I've used the Puff Cloud White felt for the Loopy Bloom and the background behind the PI girl.  Something I've not tried before, I embossed the white felt using an embossing folder for added texture to the background.  It's really hard to photograph to show the texture but hopefully you can see it..

I'm not big on buying embellishments, but I buy lots of Die-namics as I feel they are great investment for adding interest to my projects.  I have a scary list of them ;)

Thanks for taking to visit me today.

Have a "Die-namic" day!
