My Favorite Things Challenge card

I had a little time to play a couple of challenges this week-end and I have really had a ball doing them.   My Favorite Things had a sketch challenge that caught my eye so I inked up my cute little Pure Innocense stamp and created this little cutie:

Isn't she cute in her turquoise and lavendar dress.  This is Hearts and Stripes Pure Innocense and so far it is the only one that I have.  Seems they are really popular and every time I have a little money saved to buy a couple they are sold out , story of my life. 

This little cutie works for lots of occassions by just changing the colors and embellishments so I am happy.

The challenge was a sketch challenge  and other than adding a band around the middle I followed the sketch exactly.

I love adding punched flowers to my cards and I have modified Lisa Cooks Hydreangia flower tutorial to work with other flower punches like the five petal MS flower added to a MS medallion.  I make them out of the same or coordinating cs and they always match and add so much to the card IMO.

My first MFT stamp, Pure Innocence, came today!!!

You all know how much I love to color, and when I saw this line of darling little girls I had to have one, which we all know will lead to all of them LOL. Oh well, I could be addicted to worse things than stamps. Here is my first My Favorite Things (MFT) stamp creation, called Pure Innocence Heart Stripes:

I added some of my favorite elements to this precious little girl.  The image is colored with copic markers and sponged with Blue Bayou SU ink .  The ribbon was added to the right side to create an anchor for the tag which has a wonderful sentiment that is one of three included with the stamp. 

The flowers dp is HL Simply Delightful and I just love the way it adds interest without detracting from the main image.  The flowers are hand made using the MS flowers punch.  I love that I can make them from the same or contrasting DP and they always match.  A tiny glass bead is added to the center of each flower and my simply darling Pure Innocent girl is done!!!

In Omaha we are getting a huge snow storm starting tonight and continuing until Wednesday.  We are under a Blizzard Warning and they are predicting up to 10 inches of snow and winds 30-40 MPH,  Lots of time to color is a good thing, that much snow, not so much!! LOL

Thanks for stopping by.   Hope you are warm and dry wherever you are!!!
