I have to say that the new Flopsey character from MFT is just a doll!! I love all the different things he does!! Especially this month.....he's READING!!! I'm sure they made this one JUST for me.....what with working in the library for my other job!! Hehe!
This week Cindy posted another fabulous MFT sketch and I decided to play with it yesterday (in between washing, drying, folding and putting away MOUNDS of laundry.....you'd think we'd been away for three weeks instead of three days!!). I designed this card to give to a young girl at the library. She has been a page with us for three years and she is leaving us to move to a bigger city, get an apartment of her own and start her life!! We will miss her terribly because she is a very special and unique young lady!!
I made it as a 6x6 square card as a lot of people are going to be signing it. I used the new Red Riding Hood cardstock for the base and the accent cardstocks are Chocolate Chip and So Saffron. I used my Nestabilities for the circle layers and the dp is by My Mind's Eye. Now you may notice that Flopsey is rather dark and looks kinda furry.....that's because he IS furry!! I stamped the image on a piece of suede paper!!! I'd never used it before so I wasn't sure about it, but it worked really well!! Don't ask me who makes it though as I picked it up at my local scrapbook and stamp store months ago and I haven't a clue who makes it!
I cut him out and then stamped the image on Soft Sky and cut out the book to add to the image. The main image is from a new set being released this week called What's the Story? and the sentiment is from Going Places. It just really fit this card for Ashley and who she is!! I added some antique brads along the bottom, some Prima flowers with brads in two corners and metal photo corners in the opposite ones. I pop dotted the circular piece and threaded some satin chocolate ribbon through the sides. I know she will love it!!! We're so sad to see her go but so happy that she is able to start real life!!!
I'm off to work all day today but come on back tomorrow for another teaser and then it's the par-tay!!!
