MFT Color and Sketch Challenge {warmest winter wishes}

I'm still enjoying a little "just for me" stamping. I especially like that I was able to re-connect with an old stamping buddy. I love Facebook! Eva Dobilas sent me a quick message on Saturday and we were able to chat a bit. We both use to do design work together for Unity Stamp Co and for MFT.  After a quick chat about the MFT Pure Innocence stamps, we both decided we should ink one up. Mine have gone un-loved for too long. 

What better way to use a Pure Innocence stamp than with the MFT Challenges. I combined the color and sketch challenge. While flipping through my  PI stamp sets, I actually settled on one of the sweet PI snowman, Holiday Hugs.  I colored him up with Copics and cut him out. I added some "real" snow details with some touches of glitter. 

Blueprints are a great way to make a lot of the elements of from the sketch come together quickly. I started with Blueprints 14. I love the stitching details on the large square piece and I loooove the new Blueberry color. I used the rounded panel and cut out a Wild Wisteria layer. I then ran that through my Vagabond with the Swiss Dots cover plate.  The sentiment was stamped onto a stitched banner piece from Blueprints 2 in Blueberry cs. I embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder to make it pop against the darker cs. I also couldn't resist my favorite snowflakes, from Let it Snow.  I topped it with a sweet buttony bow. Always the perfect embellie!

I had fun playing along with my MFT products and these challenges. Thanks for checking out what I created today. Stay warm!
