Let Your Dreams Soar

Hello everyone and thanks for hopping by (pun intended).  Today is the LAST day of MFT Teaser Time.  Check Kim's blog at 11 AM EST for the complete list of participants for today's teasers.  You know what that means, right?  Tonight is the release!  YAY!  At 10 PM EST, you can fill your carts with all the yummy goodness we have shown you over the past 5 days. 

For my card today, I used Flopsey Flies a Kite.  Since I already had my watercolor paper and watercolors out, I decided to be efficient and make another card using them.  I am all about being efficient.  If I'm going to go through the trouble to drag out something "special"... expect me to use it several times before I put it away.  LOL

Flopsey was stamped on watercolor paper with Stazon.  I colored the rock and blue shading around him with watercolors.  Flopsey was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended using odorless mineral spirits.  I stamped the kite and colored it with Prismas as well.  I used some black floss to connect the kite to the string holder thingy in Flopsey's hands.  I completed the scene with some fluffy felt clouds.


For the inside, I mimicked the layout from the front of the card.  I stamped a simple sentiment from the set, and watercolored some wispy blue streaks on it, to resemble a blue sky.  A single felt cloud finished it off. 

 
Here are a couple details you need to know about tonight's release:
  • All 15 stamp sets and 5 new Die-namics dies are available tonight at 10 PM EST in the MFT boutique.
  • Join us for the release party from 8-10 PM EST for fun, prizes, and girly chit chat.  There is always fun to be had.  The guest designer will be announced during the release party. 
  • The blog hop goes live at 10 PM EST, so see you soon for that. 
Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check back Thursday at 10 AM MST for a Make The Cut tutorial that you won't want to miss. :)
