Here is my sketch card (#2) I didn't like the first one but I SURE DO LIKE THIS ONE!!!! I used some DP from Doodlebug and then CS from MFT Bubblegum and Hot Fudge. I also paperpieced using MFT Papers in Banana Split, Bubblegum and Gumdrop Green (grass punch). I did a BUTT Load of Paper Piecing on this card, LOOK CLOSE...see them chicks, yep, paper pieced using MFT Orange Fizz, the scene was cut out using an exacto and then the grass was attached to the back side of the image and then all run through my CB (new one) using nesties. I followed diretions on my heat fix tool and didn't push too hard and affixed the pearls from the Perfect Pearls at MFT. I also used Ribbon from MFT ~TWO kinds LOL I then found that AWESOME Button in my MFT SPring Button collection and then punched a 3/4 circle and paper pieced ANOTHER chickie in Orange Fizz. Spica pen for the bench and then the hand drawn Sidewalk.
I followed Joanne's tips on paper piecing even the hands and so...the ONLY thing on this card NOT paper pieced is the bench and sidewalk... I figured that was over kill! **wink wink** OH! I also used a Susie Qtip and made lil dots on my sidewalk to give it a realistic look and "Well, I'll be..." SHE'S RIGHT!!! LOL
Come and play we are in the MFT Forums!!!!!
