That's Just Crappie

Hi everyone and welcome to day 2 (of 2) of MFT Teaser Time.  Today we are featuring the second SUPER cute à la modes stamp set: Something's Fishy.  This set is cute with a capital C!  LOVE it . 


I used Basic Grey Marjolaine patterned paper as my inspiration and used the same soft, earthy colors for my Copic coloring and embellishments.  I used the brand new Simply Scallops Die-namics die.  It is included in this month's VIP Collection!  It's the perfect size, and cuts the whole shape out, which makes it much easier to use IMHO.  I used one of my FAVE Heidi Swapp ghost shape flowers, with a center punched from the patterned paper pack I used.


She is colored with Copic markers.  I colored her jeans first, and then used a piece of denim fabric drenched in colorless blender refill to add the denim texture.  The fish is paper-pieced with a pattern from the paper pack.  I drew in the ground with Prismacolor pencils.


Here is a peek inside.  I used more of the patterned paper, and a fun sentiment from the set.  Cracks me up!

  • The mid-month MFT release is on January 18th at 10 PM EST.

Wow, those scallops really fit with the scaly fish theme, even though this fish isn't actually scaly, but she could be.... Great card!
