Greatest Hits

Hi all!  Today the MFT Design Team is celebrating MFT's Greatest Hits.  The feature today?  Amanda Baird.  She illustrates the sassy Cosmo Girl line (AND the new à la modes line).  I chose to work with Joy Ride.  This Vespa-loving chick went GREEN with the Basic Grey Origins line. 


I used a Basic Grey Bloomer as a starting point for my sentiment flag.  I added some fun net ribbon as "leaves".  I love how it is curly.  That is just how it was, so I went with it.


I had this idea to strap on her luggage to her Vespa.  I stuck it on with a red line dimensional and then stitched it on with some twine and a paper needle.  All the areas on the Vespa that are silver were colored with a Versamarker and then embossed with silver embossing powder.


I roughed up the edges a bit with my fingers.  As a final touch, I added Liquid Pearls to her scarf.  She needed some bling.


Be sure to check out the creations from the rest of the team.  You can find a list of participants on Kim's blog at 11 AM EST. 

Thanks for stopping by!  See you soon. :)
