{Pastry Heaven} a WSC Sketch

Hi guys!! I don't know about you but I had an awesome day!! I got a ton of things done, I even did some sketching for my Figure Drawing class and now I'm firing up my oven for a fabulous chocolate croissant before the MFT Release Blog Party starts. :) Life is good!

Since it's the first week of the month Cindy is presenting us with a sketch challenge for the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club.

Me...getting ready to have a croissant, came up with the idea of creating a kind of vintage-y feel bakery-signage-look alike card...and this is what that looks like to me. lol

I'm absolutely in love with this paper I just bought today actually. It's by Samantha Walker for Creative Imaginations. I layered that with a bunch of neutral and brown CS to create this sort of vintage-y feel.

The sentiment "Baked with Love" is from the MFT set Lovin' from the Oven - this set is quickly becoming one of my favorites - you can do so much with it!! The "for you" is the second half of the Essential Sentiment set stamp "I'm here for you". The circle is from the Waltzing Mouse set Small Circles and the small little accents in the middle of the circle are from the Clear Dollar Stamps set Words of Sympathy.

Since I didn't have the right width ribbon to go with my card I simply used two thinner twill tape strips: one with a bow and one without. Handy little trick, don't ya think?

So my croissant is goin' in the oven and I'm gonna do a quick clean-up before the MFT Release Party. Why don't you swing by? We have tons of fun over there!! :)
