And for a little trick that only CTMH blocks will give you....the background square is a 3x3 acrylic block pressed into the ink pad and applied to paper. The stamp is.....hmmmm, I don't remember. If you know, let me know :)
I used the Sweetheart paper from CTMH and the Bonus Technique from Technique Junkies newsletter and created this loverly surprise for my mother. We have the lovely experience of working together and I was able to slip the gift into her med cart at work yesterday, teehee, what a lovely surprise! The stamps used were CTMH's Heartthrob.I morphed the technique a bit, as I tucked acetate behind the window to hold the hearts in. This box is the perfect size for little votive candles/cookies/any tiny gift :)
Raindrops on roses And whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles And warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies And crisp apple strudels Door bells and sleigh bells And shnitzel with noddles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters and melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorites things And then I don't feel so bad

This is the inspiration for the Wednesday Stamp Challenge over at My Favourite Things this week. Join me in creating something based on this song by Julie Andrews for the Sound of Music!
I love this stamp set from MFT! It was enough to convince me to try to order across the border, lol. Well that and the new dies they have. This card is the first of many I am making with this set, using the grass border too :) The sentiment on the inside is my favourite all time kids song and I have been singing it since the stamps showed up. (My husband wants to shut me up, lol) Coloured in with copics and inked on the edges. The picture is fuzzy, any ideas what I did wrong??
Heres the inside, I pulled a scrap of paper and used my sentiment. I have seen come fabulous insides of cards and think I need to ramp it up a bit!
