First off let me say I REALLY hope that the pink of the gal's dress on both these cards isn't as horrible neon on YOUR monitor as it looks on MINE! In real life it's not so bright LOL!
These 2 cards I made using yet another new MFT set that will be released on the first - Meet Me at the Cafe - it's a really cute set! And since I made these on the same day I made the other cards I used the Piggy Tales Gretal Papers and some matching CS and embellies (I LOVE doing that - instead of cleaning up between each card I just leave it all piled up and create till I have no more space on my desk! Then I clean it all up, put everything away and do it all over again with a different set of papers/embellishments etc etc).
This set comes with it's own awning stamp that I stamped onto patterned paper then cut out and adhered over their "heads" *wink*. As previously mentioned I used Copic Markers to color in the image, and then used my sewing machine to attach the matted layer.
I kept the layout super-simple for this card, just centered everything and attached it to a base (made of Prism pink CS), then attached a Prima Silk Road flower with a Karen Foster thumbtack brad.
With this one I had a bit of fun mixing patterns (floral, stripes and polka dots!) and playing with the layout. I didn't even bother to mat the main image - instead I just sewed it right onto the card - I really like how it turned out!!
The flower is one of the new Prima Esprites - I didn't realize till I got them that they're fabric! Just like the Bazzill bitty blossoms and Prima Silk Road flowers - I LOVE that - so I'll be for sure getting more of them!
Don't forget to check out the other My Favorite Things Design Team Member's blogs and galleries for their sneak peeks of the soon-to-be-released sets - there's a TON of them and they're all fabulous!
