My Favorite Things New Product Launch


Hello Everyone!
It's time for the New Release Launch at MFT and I have 3 cards to share ! Today the MFT Design Team is showing you all the new products available - Yippie!  You can view them all HERE. I am so excited with all the amazing new products.


The Sentimental Flourish Frame is absolutely wonderful and will be the centerpiece of any card. All you need is that, a sentiment and, but not neccessary,  something small to embellish it with.



The birds from MSTN Tweet on You are super fun to color and play around with. They make perfect CAS cards on their own but are also perfect stamps for creating little scenes;



Hope I've inspired you to check out what my super talkented teamies have made with the rest of this amazing release - there are links on the MFT blog, HERE

Be sure to comment on all the designers' blog posts tonight for YOUR chance to win one of 2, $100 Gift Vouchers as part of tonight’s New Product Launch celebration!


My cards today feature the Brand New:
Die-namics Stitched Circle Frames
Die-namics MSTN Tweet on You
Die-namics Sentimental Flourish Frame
Die-namics Simple Leaf Flourishes
Die-namics Rolled Blooming Rose
MSTN Tweet on You

Have a great day, Hugs, Karin

My Favorite Things Release Countdown Day 1


Hi!
Finally the last day of My Favorite Things Release Countdown!
All new products will be available for purchase tonight at 10pm EST. 




For this first card I played with the Rolled Blooming Rose in felt and it rolled up so easily and beautifully. It was so fun I think I made about 10 of them in different colors. They will be perfect to have ready for quick and easy cards in the future. + I think the leaves from modern-blooms



For the second card I diecut the new Simple Leaf Flourishes on a piece of scrappaper and used that as a stencil and inked the leaves to the bg of this card. The dots on both cards are "leftovers" from the Blueprint panel in # 22 that I've dressed up with some glossy accent!




Complete product details, videos and links to all designers playing along with today's featured products can be found at the MFT Blog.

I'll be back tonight at 10pm EST for the New Product Launch with
My Favorite Things!

Sunday Watercolors; Poppies

It is Sunday and today I have some poppies for you! I wanted to practise the layering technique which I love, but which I am often too restless to be successful with... (you need to wait for your first layer to dry completely before you add the next - Layering is the beauty of transparent watercolor but waiting is so, so difficult...






If you want to see more of my watercolors you can either click the "My Watercolors" button in the top list or in my Watercolors file on Pinterest; http://www.pinterest.com/peppermint42/watercolors - the paintings there are not only by me, though I wish because I've collected some favorites!
If I've used a reference photo it can most often be found in my "For paintings" folder on Pinterest.
Have a great Sunday, hugs, Karin
