I haven't had a chance to play with the MFT sketch since mid-October so I definitely wanted to remedy that especially since I have three new MFT Christmas stamp sets. Plus frankly I am a few cards short for my Christmas cards this year.
Today's card features My Favorite Things a la modes You Shine. Not sure why I liked this stamp so much considering I've had major issues with lights on Christmas trees this year! I don't want to talk about it though. It's not nice to curse, especially at Christmas.
As per usual I stamped the image onto Copics X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics. I added some shine to the star with Ranger Diamond Stickles and Ranger Glossy Accents to the Christmas lights. I followed the sketch (MFTWSC100), using patterned papers from the Carta Bella Be Merry pad. I finished things up with a Jenni Bowlin button, some jewels and May Arts ribbon. I used the flag shape from The Cat's Pajamas Easy Rosettes to cut the two small fishtail tags.

ReplyDeleteHi Nancy. Thanks so much for stopping over at my blog today. Your so funny. It really made my day. I just have to tell you that I love this card. Your embossing behind her makes me feel like it is her sweater. It's just too cute. I don't know about you lights at home, but you sure have nailed these on your card. This card is just such a very happy colorfull Christmas card. Truly I really do love it. Hugs, Lisa G
