MFTWSC83

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 Millie the Mouse set. My image was colored with copics, and cut out with my Circle Stax Die-namics. I then layered it with the Dizzy Doily Duo Die-namics in Hot Fugde. My ribbon is Hot Fudge Grosgrain, and I used Michael's brads and Creative Express spiral clip. My flags were cut out with the Fishtail Flags Die-namics.


For the inside, I used the same supplies. My sentiment is from the Thanks a Bunch set.

Here are the Die-namics I used:

For my first card, I used the new Who's That Girl Gets Down to Business set. I LOVE the sentiments in this set, they are PERFECT for me! I stamped my girl on X-Press It Blending card, and then colored parts of her with my Copics. I then paper pieced her suit and under shirt with some MME Rosy paper. She was then layered with Celery, Banana Split, and Black Licorice cardstock. I used the new Retro Squares Die-namics to create my background...boy was that a labor of love, LOL! I love the way it turned out though!! My ribbon is Black Silky Crushed ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel.


For the inside, I used more of the same supplies.



For my next card, I used Lisa's new set, Circus Spectacular. I cut out my elephant and ball with the Circus Spectacular Die-namics, and then stamped on them with Versamark ink. I then heat embossed them with Clear Embossing powder. I stamped my sentiment with Spring Rain ink, and then layered it all with Spring Rain(PTI), Sage Shadow(SU), and Fossil(MFT) cardstock. For my background, I used the Decorative Doily Die-namics to cut out my circle from some MME Portobello Road paper. My embellishments are White Silky Crushed Ribbon, Michael's brads, and Shore Twine


For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, including the new Ticket Strip Die-namics. I cut it out of more of the MME paper, and clear embossed my sentiment on it. 

Here are the Die-namics I have used:
