MFT Blog Hoppy!

Hello VIP MFT-ers!!!



If you've made it to my blog via the hop, 
You've reached the end!


And 
I doubt I need to show you the amazing-ness that MFT has come up with... but, just in case you missed it...




I am so honored to be the Guest Designer for MFT!

Ok, lets get to it! 


Who's that Girl, is one of my favorite line of sets in the stamping world. And this little gem, From the Bottom of my Heart, is no exception! I just love paper piecing and coloring... and the set combines everything I love about stamping. 

I have an easy tip to share on how to shade using an ink pad, a Spica glitter pen, and a color pencil. 

Here is what you'll need. 



First, take the colored chalk ink and... ink up the paper in circular motions!



Then stamp your Who's that Girl image


Grab your dark colored Spica pen and create the darkest shadows, like this :



After, take your colored pencil and carefully create the medium tone... actually, it's really easy!


Trim around the edges... add to a cleanly stamped Who's that Girl on a white sheet of paper... add a bit of skin color... some red on the heart... and it wouldn't be complete without some glitter... and then add it to a small sweet little envelope card and

Poof...


Or maybe just paper piece it, like this:




Now that I have totally convinced you that you have-to-have the new Who's that Girl...
