THANKS SO MUCH - TIOT #56

This little sweet girl "Winter Susan" from the new Elisabeth Bell Sampler Edition #3 for SCACD.

This card turned out much better than what I thought it was going to. Our challenge this week was Topsy Turvy - use a stamp for a different occasion than what it was intended. The layout is the sketch from Friday Sketchers Challenge this week. The image is colored with Copics and the gift and patch on her pants are enhanced with Spica pens. Now to the good part. I have never used Magic Mesh before - it is good stuff. It has been around for awhile, but now it comes in different textures. I used it as a background, punched it out on blue cardstock for my flowers, and stamped and embossed the sentiment on it. How cool is that? The DP is from Nana's Kitchen pack and the cardstock is CTMH. I tore the blue cardstock and then inked the edges a little. Finished it off with Robin's Nest dew drops and a button.

I found a few challenges to enter:

Saturday Spotlight - Do the Mess Around
Crafty Creations - Stitching
Paper Sundaes - Distress - tear paper
Friday Sketchers
Incy Wincy Designs - Touchy Feely - add texture
Practical Scrappers - Stamps
Stamp with Fun - Stitch
Fussy and Fancy - Dazzle Us
One Stitch at a Time - Stitching
Cute Daisy May - Flowers
SophistiCats - Embossing
A Spoonful of Sugar - Distress Ink (used around the torn edges of cs)
Creative Inspirations - Thank You Card


I followed the same scheme and texture on the inside. The Magic Mesh comes in alot of colors even Pink.

Now, go check out the other DT samples here and let them know what you think. They have some really really fabulous and creative projects.

Susana has gotten in some really COOL stuff in the store. Don't miss out on any of the latest and newest items. There is the new Magic Mesh and BEAUTIFUL Robin's Nest flat back diamonds and mini drops. No Wait on the Spellbinders 2010 - they are now in stock.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and visit my blog. I appreciate it!
