What I was up to last night
Last night was the release party on the MFT forums at Splitcoast, and I MISSED IT!!!! I can’t believe I missed the WHOLE thing! That’s just not right! But I got there in time to sign up for the new ATC swap, and I can’t wait to get my new stamps to start making mine. And I took a peek at the MFT guest designer challenge and it just sounded like too much fun not to play.
The challenge is to use background stamps in unique ways and not for a background. So here’s what my brain came up with:
I used the pretty pattern BG from CHF on the pants, and the rain background from ‘Rain or shine’ on her shirt. I decided to cut her out of her box and have her yoga mat be a little rock pad island so she can sit in the middle of her pond. I stamped the lotus flowers once in black and colored them, then again in green for the bottom leaves to be green and cut them both out and popped them up.
When I was looking for pictures of lotus flowers on google I came accross a peacock and decided to turn the chicken from ‘Punny farm’ into a peacock! I used the stem bunch from ‘Punch a bunch’ and then drew the feathers with my copics and accented some of them with dew drops.
I made some bamboo out of the branch and leaves from ‘Its a jungle’ and I brought them down to where her face would be to give her privacy and take care of the head issue.
To be honest I am not sure how I feel about this scene. I made this last night starting around 10:30 and just went down to my craft room where there is no clock. When I finished and came up to load it, the time was 1:00 am! I went to bed dissapointed and thinking it was an ugly card and then when I woke up this morning I wasn’t even sure I had actually made it!
But I like doing things like this because it really pushes me to use things in different ways and try something new. So I’m happy with working on it so long last night.
I hope you all have a GREAT day…….tomorrow is Friday, yippee!

You need “Far east” from Lizzie anne, that will complement that set perfectly, and you’ll have lotus flower and bamboo…
