Hey, guess what?! I am now a member of the Wednesday Sketch Club design team at MY FAVORITE THINGS. I'm very excited to be a small part of this great company and their amazing DT. So, what does this mean? Well, it means that I'll be posting a card each Wednesday that'll feature a pre-determined theme. I actually officially start on September 1st but I'm jumping in a little early to show you a little something in this week's theme: FLORAL FANTASY! Create a card or project featuring, duh, FLOWERS!
I chose this oh-so-sweet PURE INNOCENCE LITTLE ANGEL image as my focal point. I mean, really, could she be ANY cuter?! I don't think so! I paper pieced her dress with Basic Grey Kioshi collection patterned paper. In fact, all of the patterned papers here are from that same great pad. I really like the background piece with the spray of muted-color flowers....so pretty. I added big purple flowers, cut using the MFT DIE-NAMICS FLOWER TRIO & LEAF TRIO dies. I layered them and curled the egdes and added button centers for lots of depth.
Wanna see what the other members of the WSC team have created this week? Of course you do! Here's the list to make it extra easy...
Check back next week...it's a sketch challenge and my official start on the team!
Ohh she is DARLING!!
