MFT November Release Blog Hop: Polar Love

Hi all and welcome to the MFT November Release Blog Hop! I hope you have enjoyed the past 5 days of MFTeasers... and now... it's RELEASE TIME! All ten new stamp sets, the MFT Kit PLUS some new "Baby Braddies" are available in the store NOW right HERE!

You should have come to me from Kim's blog, who is the starting hopper. Make sure to hop through all the designers blogs, leaving comments as you go. ONE of the designers will have a special PRIZE for one commenter... one of the BRAND NEW Pure Innocence stamps that will be released in December! PLUS, the winner will get it early (when the design team does), so it's definitely worth it!

The set I am highlighting today is Polar Love. This set was part of a special promotion last month, but is now available for sale! YAY! This cute little Polar couple is sure to warm your heart and the set is only $9! Find it HERE, along with all the other new sets and products. Speaking of heart, do you see how my heart looks like cordurouy? To achieve that, use any piece of grosgrain or textured material, squirt some Copic colorless blender on it, and blot over an image that you have already colored using Copic markers. The pattern will now be on the image. It's a neat effect and is SUPER easy to do.

The image was stamped in Memento black and colored with Copic markers. The scarves were paper pieced on. I added some Diamond Glaze to their noses to make them shiny. I stamped the sentiment directly on the patterned paper and then quickly embossed using clear embossing powder. Doing this helps the sentiment to show up more clearly.

The embellishment in the corner is a Heidi Swapp ghost shape snowflake and a snowflake "ribbon brad" that are stacked together. The ribbon brad has 2 large slots in it to thread the ribbon through and tie. I buy them at Hobby Lobby under the Paper Studio brand name. :) The lace trim is also from Hobby Lobby under the Paper Studio brand name.
