Whoa...something new here for the SUNFLOWER STUDIO! I've joined in today with the VIP Blog Hop for MY FAVORITE THINGS. What's that mean? Well, we're introducing not only a new VIP Kit from MFT but two brand new à la modes stamp sets. (Just adorable...you'll see!) And, if you've found just little ole me straight away, you really need to go back and start at the beginning at KIM VAN DER SANDEN'S blog so that you don't miss a thing. If you've already started at the beginning and you're visiting me via CAROLE'S BLOG , then welcome!
The VIP package is a ONE DAY ONLY product that gives you the chance to purchase the newest WHO'S THAT GIRL? set TWO weeks early! This month's VIP kit is available now (August 17th at 10:00 pm) through tomorrow (August 18th at 11:59 pm). Wanna know what's in the kit? Read on...
- Well Read Stamp Set

And like I mentioned, two brand new à la modes stamp sets are also being released tonight: GROOVY GIRL and TIME TO CELEBRATE. You know you need 'em! You can find them in the BRAND SPANKIN' NEW section of the MFT site.
Wanna see my card using the GROOVY GIRL set? Here it is!
I can relate, sorta. I'm a child of the 60s so I'm down with it, baby. Peace. Love. {Okay, I can hardly remember yesterday so it is a reach to remember that far back!} Anyway, I wanted that "old photo" look and I think I did pretty good. I colored everything with Copics - creating the background as one piece - airbrushing in the clouds. And then I stamped and colored my girl separately and "popped" her up a bit. Dug out my old deckle edged Fiskars scissors for the photo edges and dug even deeper for some Canson black photo corners. The newsprint patterned paper is from SU! Some vintage-y black/cream checked ribbon, buttons, and pearls finish it all off.
You know you need to see MORE! Head over to WENDY BOND'S BLOG now and continue on your way. So glad you stopped by!
totally awesome Leigh

Oh wow this is just fabulous. This has a real awesome old time look especially since you really used old time supplies like photo corners (which use to be all the rave) and the decorative scissors, which I think most of use have buried in dust hehehe. Totally awesome card!

Wow!!! I love this! Just so creative and I can't believe how you got the black and white look with your Copics!
