I Love Us!

Hi everyone!!  Happy Wednesday! I am hoping (fingers crossed) that I have fixed my Blogger formatting issues.  Sorry that my posts have looked SO wonky for the past few days!

Are you ready for another MFT Getting Sketchy Sketch Challenge?  This week we are up to MFTWSC14!

I made today's card for my Hubs.  We are celebrating our 10 year anniversary in May and I knew I wanted to use the darling Flapper Doodles I Love Us from My Favorite Things.  I just LOVE this set!

I stamped these cuties in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X Press It Blending Card (LOVE this paper for Copic coloring) and colored them with Copic Markers.  I added some Martha Stewart Crystal Glitter on her dress as well as the hearts.  I cut out and embossed the panel with Circle Nestabilities and then added a frame (I know...I am doing this all the time) with a Copic Multliner.

I added a border with my much beloved Die-Namics Little Open Scallop Strip Die and the sentiment, "I Love Us" was stamped onto the patterned paper, Stella & Rose Hattie from My Minds Eye, and then cut out using the Die-Namics Rounded Banner Trio Die.  I added Swarovski Crystals under the sentiment as well as around the focal image.  Tons of machine stitching and a big bow created with The Bow Easy finish off the front.

So often lately I've been finishing off the inside of my cards.  I really love the extra space to add more sentiments and embellishments.  I LOVE the Die-Namics Sweet Stack Dies and I've used it here to give some "oomph" to the my sentiment, "You're The Cat's Meow".  On the horizontal panel, I stamped the frame from Sassy & Sweet in Baja Breeze ink before adding my sentiment.  Love.This.Frame.Stamp.  LOVE.

Another border with the Die-Namics Little Open Scallop Strip Die, some more maching stitching, and even more Swarovski Crystals.  Only the best for my man (lol).

Here are the Die-Namics I've used on my card today:
