Hi everyone! Hope you had a lovely weekend. I'm sitting at my desk in my craft room looking out at the gloomy weather and am extremely dubious that it's going to reach temps of 28 deg. by the end of the week!!!
Anyway, onto today's card. You know sometimes you make a card and you think, "you know, I really like this one!" well today's card is one of those!! I think maybe it's cos I LOVE this cutie stamp by MFT, it's definately one of my fav's of their's and I also LOVE this paper by Echo Park!
Apologies for the photo which I'm really annoyed with but it's just too gloomy here and I haven't got an extension cable for my photographic lamps yet!
So as I said the stamp is an A La Mode by MFT called Dream Big. I coloured with my usual mixture of colouring mediums. I paper pieced her PJs and the moon. I cut out with nesties and sponged with pale pink ink from Stampin Up. All papers by Echo Park (Happy Days). The scalloped edges are a MFT die.
I'd like to enter this into:
Sketch Saturday- sketch

Isn't she just adorable?! I love her sweet face and her little eye-mask! Sooo cute!
Crafty stash used: Stamps (MFT); Watercolour & lyra pencils; copics; Papers (Echo Park); Assorted cardstock; Nesties- round & stars; scalloped border- Dienamics by MFT; Nailheads (Josy Rose)
As I've had ongoing health issues, I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself. What does that mean? Well that usually means I treat myself to a few knew craft items of course!!! The word "few" kind of tends to take on a new meaning but whatever gets you through, right??!
So here is my new paper stash. I bought 4 MME pads, a Jillibean soup (Dutch Mustard soup) and a Pink Paisley (Vintage Vogue). Am v excited to use these!
I also bought these new papers from Echo Park called Little Boy. I wanted to get a 6x6" pad but couldn't find one so ended up buying some 12x12" instead.
Hope you've enjoyed stopping by today! Have a fun week! x

Hi Steph! Yummy papers! I just bought some new 6x6's too, they came in the post and I couldn't believe just how many I bought..I guess I couldn't decide or those online shopping carts are deceptive! lol
Great card too, love the design.I saw your project on MIM and came for another look.
Ps) I have some ‘no strings attached’ blog candy up if you’d like to have a peek.
