You're Dog-gone awesome

Hiya! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. I made this card to play along in the current MFT Sketch Challenge. I really super love how this turned out! I haven't done inlaid die cutting in a long time...it's such a cool technique! I used the adorable Lucky Dog set by MFT. I colored them with my Copics. 

Have a great day!

MCT Blog Hop

Hello! It's blog hop day, YAY! You should have arrived from Lucia's Blog, if not, head HERE to start at the beginning. I used the new Mom set to white heat emboss the flowers, and cut it out with the coordinating dies. I watercolored with distress markers. I used the new "freebie" You Inspire Me set for the greeting and the label it's on. I inked up the Stripey Background with distress markers and sprayed with water to stamp the background. I also used the Stitched Oval Dies. 

Your next stop on the hop is the fabulous RUTHIE.

MCT Sneaks Day 4

Helllo! It's day 4 of sneaks for MyCreativeTime. Today we are sneaking the new Build A Sunray set and More Stitched Circles Dies. I used the new Build A Sunray set to create the background. I used 2 different yellow inks for variation. It's subtle, but you can tell in real life. :) I used the new More Stitched Circles Dies for the sun. For the clouds I used the More Stitched Edges Dies. The greeting is also from the new Build A Sunray set.

MCT Inspire Me Wednesday- Pearl Jam Rules People! :)

Hello! It's Inspire Me Wednesday at MyCreativeTime. My card today is inspired by a song by my favorite band, Pearl Jam! Who, by the way, I WILL BE SEEING LIVE TONIGHT FROM THE PIT! :) If you don't see me posting for a while, it's cuz I'm still in shock from the awesomeness. Also, if I catch a guitar pick or a tambourine, I may just drop dead of happy on the spot! HAHA. Anyhoo back to the card. 

I used the donut stamp from the We're Better Together set. Yep, I turned a donut into a record! :) I stamped and colored 2 of them with my Copics so I could make a spinner card. Oh, I added little lightning bolts to the labels as a nod to PJ's most recent record. I used clear thread to suspend the records in the open circle. So the record spins when you open the card. I used the Alpha Pack set to make the greeting/song title. I used a circle stencil for the background. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies and the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies as well. 

Pop over to MyCreativeTime to see more. 

I hope your day is as fun as mine is going to be! :) I'm probably lined up outside the venue as you're reading this...I want to get as close to the stage as possible. :)

Peace, love, and Pearl Jam. 

♥ Nikki ♥ 

Here's the song this card is inspired by. I was at this show in San Diego in 2013. :)

MCT Trending Now "Blooms and Plumes"

Hello! It's Trending Now day at MyCreativeTime. Today's trend is "Blooms and Plumes". I used the Believe In Your Dreams set for the feathers. I masked and stamped them into a line. I colored them with my Copics. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies for the panel. The greeting is from the You Matter set. I used a white gel pen to outline the greeting to make it pop. Forever grateful for Kelly Latevola for that awesome white gel pen tip!
