MCT Trending Now "Animals"

Hello! It's "Trending Now" day at MyCreativeTime, and today's trend is animals. Today is also my birthday! Woot woot. :) Today's theme is perfect for me because I LOVE animals. I have a membership to the zoo, and I go all the time! We have 2 kinds of flamingo at my zoo, and they're both gorgeous. Anyhoo, I used the Already Missing You set for the flamingo. I stamped and paper pieced them. I used the Mom set to make the background in the shaker window. I used the Love You Bunches set for the greeting. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames and More dies and the Stitched Oval Dies for the shaker panel.

MCT Sneaks Day Three

It's day 3 of sneaks for MyCreativeTime. Today we are sneaking new Sentiment Label Dies. For this card I also used the new Fun Polka Dots {freebie} set. The greeting is from the You Matter set. I also used this new set to make my first ever slider interactive card. 

I used the smallest die in the new Sentiment Label Dies to create the slider channel. The flamingo is from the Already Missing You set. She moves back and forth when you wiggle the card. {see video} The greeting is from the Fun Notes set. I used the Fun Polka Dots set for the background. I also used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies.

MCT Trending Now

Hello! It's Trending Now day at MyCreativeTime. We are looking at the flamingo trend...which I LOVE! I simply adore flamingos. At Sea World in San Diego, I defied the rules and fed flamingos with my bare hands rather than throwing the pellets to them. I'm such a rebel. :) Anyhoo, I used the Already Missing You set by MyCreativeTime. I stamped and masked, and masked and stamped the flower frame. :) I colored everything with my Copics. 

I realized after I had this all stamped that I had inadvertently "cased" Kelly Latevola's card...that was her "case" of some of my cards...is that like the Inception of card land??? HA! Kelly rules.

MCT Sneaks Day 3

Hello! It's day 3 of sneaks for MyCreativeTime. Today we are sneaking a new set called Already Missing You. I did some masking to make my little flock of flamingos. I snapped 2 pics of the process...Here is what it looks like after stamping and applying liquid frisket {mask}. 

And here it is after stamping the flamingos that will be in the background.

It looks like a hot mess in progress, but turns out pretty jazzy. {The liquid frisket rolls off super easily} ;) For my scene, I wanted to focus on the 2 flamingos in the front. They're "friends". :) So I colored them more dramatically. I used just 2 Copics on the other flamingos. 

I added some eyelashes to the "friends", and also added wink of stella and glossy accents to parts of them. The greeting is also from the new Already Missing You set. Oh, I also used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More and Stitched Oval Dies. Forgot to say that I used my Copics to color the border behind the frame.
