A Cup of Tea, A Shady Tree...**MFTeaser**

Well - it's Monday - I hope you all are having a good start to your week! I've got lots of fun stuff planned for this week - so I hope you'll come by and visit me ;) - today I have an MFTeaser of the newest Flopsey set being released from MFT this Wednesday night - March 4th. Isn't he SO sweet!? He may be my favorite Flopsey yet - he's so whimsical - I just love that sentiment too! I colored my Flopsey and my tree in with Copics. **COPIC TIP**: To color in my white image, I added a hint of shading with my Cool Shadow (BG10) marker - and then I went back over the edge of the color with my Colorless Blender (0) to blend the color to the white. This little Flopsey set is so fun - it comes with a little leaf image that you can stamp all over your tree branches - I stamped mine with a SU! Old Olive classic ink pad. I wanted to use paper from the DCWV Once Upon a Time stack for my card - but couldn't decide which paper to use - so I sliced up a couple of small pieces into 1 in. squares - pieced the background together and then machine stitched at all the seams. I also machine stitched around my image - it felt good to fire up my sewing machine - I love sewing on cards!! I layerd up a couple of Primas with the Martha Stewart Branch punch for a card accent. Thanks so much for stopping by - and don't forget...
