MFT July Release Countdown Day 3



Day 3 of My Favorite Things July Release Countdown features Cupcake Day,
this month's Pure Innocence cutie who is so ready to celebrate!


After stamping her on watercolor card stock, I masked the image, and 
ink distressed the background with two colors of Distress inks, then spattered 
the surface with water. When the panel was dried, I colored her with Copics
and paper pieced her dress with the new Tiny Check patterned paper.

 

The panel was cut with Wonky Rectangles STAX and adhered to a Stone Gray
card base. I stamped the sentiment and finished off the card with some
Sparkling Clear sequins.

Visit today's countdown post at My Favorite Things for more inspiration
from the design team and leave a comment there for your chance to win a
$100 MFT gift voucher!
