Well, this is my first altered paint tin and they are so much fun to alter. The paint tin, Prismacolor pencils, and the stamp set, Shower Time, are all new items being released by My Favorite Things tomorrow. For the card, I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils, blending with Turpenoid, to match the colors in the tin. Why I didnÂ’t use the BasicGrey paper for this as well, I canÂ’t even begin to tell you. I was so stuck on matching the umbrella up with the paper that I had the card half done before it even occurred to me that I should have used the BasicGrey. Anyhoo, I stamped the hearts in pink and then outlined them and drew some rain with a Sakura Glitter Pen. The sewing machine was sitting there too, so I just couldnÂ’t help myself and had to do some sewing. For me, that is sometimes faster than taping and gluing all the panels together. The polka dots on her dress are made with a Signo White Gel Pen.

So pretty! Love the shower of hearts! I really dislike sewing, so I am really impressed with all the real stitching on your card! Wonderful card and paint can!
