Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining this week's sketch challenge at My Favorite Things .  I colored a few farm critters from one of my favorite MFT sets The Whole Herd.  The images were colored with Tombow markers and die cut.  An embossed chicken wire panel is the base for my farm scene.  A few enamel dots and sentiment from the same set finish the card.

  As they say:  "All good things must come to an end".  I have been playing along with the MFT sketch challenge from about #165.... A Long Time.   The MFT team announced that this will be the final sketch challenge, and of course, I had to play along. My card features the retired MFT Adorable Adventures designed by Birdie Brown.  The images were stamped, die cut and colored with alcohol markers then sponged with Danube Blue Memento ink.  The circle dies were adhered to paper from the MFT Happy Trails paper pad.  A coordinating MFT Birthday sentiment and enamel dots finish the card. My card was also inspired by one of the new challenges on the MFT blog - Card Cue. This month's Card Cue inspiration challenge is Summer Lovin' .

I got a chance to spend quality time catching up with my sister this weekend by phone.  We live over 2000 miles apart with a 3-hour time difference so it can be difficult to catch one another.  Yes, we text often, but talking by phone is the next-best-thing to seeing her in person.  I guess that's why this sweet PI set came to mind today!   I'm joining the color and sketch challenge at My Favorite Things with a retired PI - A Phone Call Away.  The image was colored with Copic Markers then die cut with a Wonky Stitched die. The image was layered onto papers from MFT and Pink Paislee Switchboard.  A sentiment from the same set finishes the card.
