August Teaser Time - Day 1

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today!  It's that time of the month again... MFT Teaser Time!  In 5 short days the new release will take you by storm, so get ready for the ride.  :)

My first card today features Clearly Sentimental about Sympathy.  You have a few more days to earn this set for free.  Read all the details HERE.  OR, you can wait until it's for sale on release night, August 2nd, at 10 PM EST.


I highlighted some of the words with a Copic marker to add some pizazz.  I slotted a piece of ribbon through the sentiment panel.  I had this sketch jotted down from a long time ago, but it wasn't labeled, so I have no idea where it came from.  I added a strip of Simply Scallop Medium scallops to the bottom of the card.


I used the pretty, new Dizzy Doily Duo.


I added lots of pretty crystal flourishes to dress up the card.


I also finished the inside:

So many fab elements in this card. I like the way the ribbon slides simply through the tag, and the way the flourish jumped over to the doily too! High lighting the sentiment portions is a nice touch as well. :)
