I have a couple of cards for you today, starting with one highlighting Peek-a-Boo Striped Heart Die-namics. To begin, I stamped Sweet Tooth card stock lightly with Grout Gray dye ink and Romantic Script Background then splattered it with watered down black craft paint. Then I cut it with Peek-a-Boo Striped Heart Die-namics. I popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock base but first slipped in some Ranger Watercolor Paper under the heart on which I’d applied a watercolor wash.

Next I added the sentiment, which was stamped with Mini Well-Connected Alphabet & Numbers Stamp Set (I LOVE this set!! Sometimes the original set is just a little large for a sentiment strip but this is perfect!) on Grout Gray card stock cut with Stitched Fishtail Sentiment Strips. Then I added a little bouquet composed from Mini Royal Roses, cut from, top to bottom, Poppy, Coral Crush, and Peach Bellini card stocks and Fab Foliage cut from Sour Apple and Jellybean Green card stocks. I finished off with Strawberry Coulis Nuvo Jewel Drops, Gloss Apple Green Nuvo Crystal Drops, and Ebony Black Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Next up this darling set, Ewe and Me Forever.

All of the little images are girls but I wanted a boy so I masked off the bow area and drew it back in with a Copic Black Multiliner after I stamped them with the new Extreme Black hybrid ink and then colored them with Copics. I set them in a scene created within an Inside & Out Stitched Oval STAX opening

The sentiment was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock cut with Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips Die-namics.

And that’s it for today from me! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope to see you back tomorrow for Day Four of MFT’s January Release Countdown!

  1. Wow Barbara. So difficult to find how to send you a comment. Love ALL your cards BTW but have been looking at your peek-a-boo heart card with the roses and trying to find out where you got / made the flowers. Finally found it!!!!! Yaaaaay. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to the computer I must confess. Anyway, thank you for your wonderful inspiration - I don't thank you for making me NEED / WANT / MUST HAVE the heart die, the mini roses die, the cute and sweet little ewe stamps etc. You lot are keeping me broke. I just received a parcel from MFT about 10 minutes ago and am about to go and start "playing", but now I already have a long shopping list and my pension doesn't even arrive for a week!!!!! I'm just too greedy I think. Love your work and the rest of the design team too. Don't know how you all manage to think of something new and different! Happy New Year to you and yours and happy designing and playing.

  2. Just beautiful! The subtle script adds the perfect touch to the lovely florals on the first card. It's good to know that the bow can be easily omitted to change the ewe's gender. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

  14. The striped heart die seems like it would be very versatile. So pretty how you added the script stamp in such a nice subtle color! It looks really good with the washed background for the heart.
