One layer card challenge for the My Favorite Things on the SplitCoastStampers.com.

Cardstock: Stampin’ Up! (toooooo thin); Punch is also from SU!

Mark back of the card.

Punch half way with Crop-a-dile Big Bite.

Put ribbon (Martha Stewart) through the holes. I messed up one hole. Must use a thinner needle next time.

I’ve been very happy with the MFT stamp quality. And this set is so cute.

SU! markers and colored pencils. I messed up the cake image, so I had to double stamp (re-stamp) it, heehee.

I stamped the image on a shimmery/pearly cardstock. I was going to use the pink one, but decided to ink it in black, and as soon as I stamped with the Brilliance black pigment ink, I decided to coat it with black embossing powder. So, I quickly unwrapped a new black embossing powder, put it in a container, and sprinkled on my cardstock without first applying the anti-static pad. I got black splashes everywhere. Thank goodness it was for the beast.

I used Stampin’ Up! markers to color the beast. I didn’t realize it was still wet when I was cutting it. My thumb prints smeared everywhere and I thought it was a cool effect. =)
I applied Stampin’ Up! Glassy Glaze Enamel embossing powder over the beast to prevent the markers from smudging. When I was heat setting the SU! glaze, Ranger’s black embossing powder was melting/puddling, too. Another unplanned cool effect, heehee.
