How Could I...MFT January Countdown Day 1 44

Mona Pendleton | Monday, January 6, 2014 @ 10:00 PM | Die-Namics , MFT , My Favorite Things

Hi there! Welcome to Day 1 of the MFT January New Release Countdown! Tonight is THE night of the January New Product Launch which will be at 10 PM Eastern in the MFT Boutique.

Today I have a card to share featuring a fun sentiment and stamped wood grain heart made using fun images from the LJD Wood You Be Mine? set:

I inked up the heart image using Kraft ink, stamped the image on a Hearts a Plenty die cut heart then stamped the fun sentiment using Black Licorice ink. I layered the heart on a Dizzy Doily, adhered to the card front then finished the card with a trio of Whip Cream buttons:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with retro sketches:

Thank you for taking the time to visit!

Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog to see what the rest of the team has created. You'll also read about some HUGE prizes being given away this week during the new product countdown that you won't want to miss! I'll be back tonight at 10PM Eastern for the New Product Tour!
Be Sweet :)

I had this sketch up on my computer monitor all day today. It never did work with what I was trying to make. There is always tomorrow...right? ;); Reply January 6, 2014 at 11:30 PM
