Getting Sketchy, Week 12

Hi everyone! It’s Wednesday so that means it’s time to get sketchy with My Favorite Things! 

Sending Butterfly Kisses

This week I decided to use Butterfly Kisses, another of my Pure Innocence sets that had yet to become inky. 

After stamping and coloring the girl, I stamped the wing portion again onto vellum paper (wiping off the little bits of hair that hung over the edges and then drying with a heat gun).  I used a kraft knife to cut the lines along her arms, and when cutting out the vellum wings, I kept the arms attached.  (In other words, I cut out the wing and arm as one piece for each side.)  I applied adhesive over the cuts on the back of the stamped image, then inserted the wings on the front, aligning all lines.  The adhesive held the pieces in place, and the slit provided just the right amount of “lift” for the wings.

On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from Flower Girl as well as a silhouette of the butterfly girl.

You can find direct links to DT samples HERE on the MFT Blog.  The info is also posted in the MFT forum on SCS.  (Look for the most recent WSC thread numbered 12).  And remember, if you upload your card in the SCS gallery using the keyword shown on the sketch, you will have the chance to win up to $20 in MFT money!  One winner is chosen at random each week.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
