Back in MN from my trip to New York, where I was temporarily spoiled (yesterday) with spring-like temps in the mid 50s. Landing back in Minne this morning, I was reminded it's still winter here ~ but thoughts of spring aren't far away. No better way to combat a cold, gray day than spend some time making a card!

| Being Cute Is What I Do - MFT |
Today's post idea comes from a challenge site that's new to me, called the
Friday Mash-Up! (I love the name!) They are celebrating their
100th challenge by having people choose one of their previous challenges. I took the "mash-up" part seriously and combined a few. Challenge #21 was
dry embossing (a "regular" in my card making), and Challenge #32 was a
girlie theme and
favorite technique (Copic coloring). Quite a mash, eh?!?!
The card uses one more of the MFT kids I colored last week . . . in this one, I focused on creating the idea of ripples in her top in my coloring. I cropped the image and framed her with a PTI die.
Copics Used:
Hair: E50, 51, 53, 57
Dress: Y11, 13 15
Skin: E00, 11, 13, R20
The die cut flower with the button in the middle mirrors the flowered background paper. Don't the soft colors of this card make you think of spring?
Great job combining 2 of our Mashup challenges!! Love the colors of your card and that image is colored beautifully!
