I made this card for the MFT Guest Designer Challenge this month using the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch #52.
Featured is the Pure Innocence "Being Cute Is What I Do" girl, with a sentiment from "The Great Outdoors" set.
The technique for the GD challenge was paper piecing, so I pieced her outfit, but these images are so perfect for doing that, anyway. Papers used are Cosmo Cricket's Odds and Ends. I pieced the legs separately to keep the stripes running parallel with her legs, and lined up the flowered paper so that a stem and flower lined up with the stamped flower on her shirt. I just added a tiny bit of Copics to fill in the rest of the stamped flower.
Also featured are several MFT Die-namics. I used the larger fishtail banner from the 1st Place Award set, the Stacking Stars, and the border under the main image is the bottom half of the negative part of the Star Border!
To go along with the "twinkling" theme, the center of the star is glitter paper, and I added some rhinestone flourishes.
