Hi there! Hope you are all having a great week! I have a card to share today using the sweet image from the MFT Pure Innocence Pumpkin Patch Girl stamp set. Admittedly, this card was quite the challenge for me because I couldn't find the right color combination. I gave the little girl three different outfits before settling on the one you see! Please tell me I am not alone? Does this ever happen to you??? I stamped the sentiment on a die cut made using the Die-namics Bracket Tab die:

After carefully cutting around the image, I adhered her to a piece of dry embossed Natural card stock and stitched on buttons for wagon wheels.

I completed the inside with another sweet sentiment from MFT Pure Innocence Pumpkin Patch Girl stamp set along with a pretty doily that was cut using a die from Die-namics Oval Open Scallop Doily DUO die set:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with retro sketches:

Thanks so much for visiting. I hope you have a great day/evening! I'll be back tonight at Midnight Eastern kicking off the MFT October Teaser Time ~ Hope to see you then!
Be Sweet :)

Lisa Elton said...: Oh yes Mona, sometimes colors can give me fits! But then this little light bulb goes on and it seems so simple! One of those ahha moments I suppose. This is darling. I love the DPs and am so smitten with the PI collection from MFT!; Reply October 9, 2012 at 10:06 AM
Unknown said...: Just darling, Mona! Love the sweet colors and mix of patterned paper, and her outfit is so sweet!; Reply October 9, 2012 at 11:06 AM
Rachel G said...: SO cute, Mona. I love the textured background and all the zigzag stitching.

I have DP fashion issues, too, and then it's usually after I have cut them out...so I have a few little PI outfits floating around on my craft table (usually it's because the pattern is too big or looks wierd cut out, LOL).

Thanks for all your sweet comments on my blog and at splitcoast. They are appreciated. :); Reply October 9, 2012 at 11:20 AM
