High Maintenance!

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!! Are you ready for another MFT Getting Sketchy Sketch? This week MFTWSC13 is up to bat!

Now, I realize that I always say how much fun I have making these cards, but really, for my card today, I giggled the entire time I was making it!! LOVE this á la mode from My Favorite Things, It Must Be Love, paired with this twisted sentiment from Twisted Foursome, also from My Favorite Things.

There were quite a few twisted sentiments that I thought would work, but I went with "High maintenance doesn't even begin to cover it". LOL! I LOVE it with this diamond toting gal! I stamped her, and the sentiment, on X Press It Blending Card AND colored her with Copic Markers. The patterned paper is Portrait from Crate Paper and I added a crystal flourish for an extra bit of bling. I also sewed all of the layers on my sewing machine.
I finished off the inside as well, this time stamping her in silhouette and adding another hysterical sentiment, "If you need me, I'll be on my pedestal". LOL!! I also used more of the same paper, some more stitching and another crystal flourish. I also colored just the diamond in her hands and added some shine with a Clear Glaze Pen (I did this to the diamond on the front too). Head on over to Kim's Blog for a listing of all the designers and challenge team members that have worked with this fab sketch today! Thanks SO much for stopping by!!
