You're Such A Smartie!

Hi everyone!! Happy Sunday!!

Here is a card I created for last Wednesday's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Challenge, which is an AWESOME sketch, MFTWSC09012010.

I had SO much fun making this card as I was finally able to ink up the UBER adorable Emma With Her Backpack that was released LAST month from MFT!! I thought I better get her inky before all of the goodies from THIS month's release arrive (grin!).

I LOVE the Pure Innocence Line @ MFT and these Emma sets totally tug at my heart...I think I have them all as they remind me of my little girl.

For my card, I stamped Emma in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored her with Copic Markers. I paper pieced her skirt with one of the patterns I used on my card, which are all from Togetherness by Cosmo Cricket. I used the same pattern on the bottom that I cut with the Die-Namics Jumbo Scallop Die, but the other panels kind of cover it up more than I thought.

On the ledger paper, I added three brads from my stash, and all the layers were sewn on my sewing machine. I added some highlights with a Clear Spica Glitter Pen to the flower in her hair and the buttons and zipper on her backpack. I did place my sentiment on the opposite side of the card than the sketch shows, as I didn't want to cover Emma up at all. I used the "You're Such A Smartie" sentiment from Emma With Her Backpack and I plan on giving this to Meredith when school starts.

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!
