MFT’s Mid-July New Release Hop

Hellooooo!  Welcome to the mid-July new release hop with My Favorite Things!  If you’re just popping in here, you may want to head back to the beginning with Kim.  Be sure to follow along!  You never know where you might find a prize awaiting!  🙂

We have three GREAT new releases tonight, Annie LaPoint’s Spread a Harvest of Hope ($9), Bubble Bunny Flopsey ($9) and Feelin’ Fruity ($17.95).  I honestly can’t say which is my favorite.  Harvest of Hope is so pretty, Bubble Bunny is cute as can be and Feelin’ Fruity…totally adorable! I love the sentiments in this set.  For tonight, I’ve used Spread a Harvest of Hope.

I used Copic markers to color the image as well as to add the grass.   Paula has a wonderful tutorial (here in “Tips & Tricks for the July Release“) demonstrating how she adds her grass shading and blades with Prismacolor pencils.  I thought I’d give it a whirl with the markers.  I like the result of the pencils best but I think the markers turned out ok too.  

My main (image) panel is raised on pop dots along with the bigger (entire) front panel.  I did not use Nestabilities on the main panel.  I didn’t feel like dragging out all of my supplies so I used the “poor man’s method” (or “lazy woman”)…I just matted the image onto another piece of white cardstock.  It looks the same to me.

For your First 50, we’re in Week 3 of the Memento Dew Drop collection–Bamboo Leaves.

Your next stop in the hop is with my mega-talented friend JODY.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’ll be back tomorrow with this week’s MFT Weekly Spotlight.  Have a great day/night!  🙂
