MFT à la Mode time!

Hi everyone!

My Favorite Things will be releasing it's newest à la Mode stamp sets on February 15th and that's right around the corner! These little gals are so adorable! The 2 new à la Modes are called All Star and Wishing you Luck. Today the design team is featuring projects using the new Wishing you Luck à la Mode.

I created my card using the sketch for MFT's January 12th challenge. I used some cute designer paper I received in a RAK a few months ago. The greens on this paper attracted me since this card is St. Patty's day themed! :-) I colored up the little à la Mode gal with my Copic markers and cut her out using MFT's Polka Dot Greeting die, then layered that on top of a Layered Labels die that I dry embossed with my Quick Kutz large swiss dots embossing folder. I have a Dainty Lace Doily die "peeking" out from the side. I took a white hydrangea mulberry flower from iamroses.com and colored it up with the same Copic marker I used on the à la Mode image so it would match. I popped on some Prima bling & lace to warm up the card. :-)






Inside the card, I took some of the same DP and trimmed the green paper with MFT's Jumbo Scallop die. Then I layered on top the Small Open Scallop border. The sentiment is cut out with my Long rectangle Nesties and layered on top of a Layered Labels diecut.




Thanks for peeking today! Be sure to check out Kim's blog to see all the other AMAZING projects the MFT Design Team has in store for you today!

hugs!
