A My Besties sketch and a Winter Bashful Besties!

I was coloring up this Bestie and needed some inspiration for a card and found out from my friend that the Spanish My Besties had a card sketch, so i thought i'd give it a try and add this card to a couple challenges.

I think this image is just so adorable..really reminds me of what it was like when i wore snowpants over 50 yrs ago.  Of course i never got to just go out with a sweater.. Michigan weather in the winter called for a coat too!

This is a My Besties image called Winter Bashful.  You can find her here.

I have used several dies on this card:
Snowflake border cut one snowflake and put it on the side... (Noor/Joy Crafts)
White flourish- Memory Box (retired)
Large snowflake behind image- Spellbinders
Small snowflakes- punches

My Besties 3D fit for a Princess party!

For the next two weeks at My Besties 3-D Deco Challenge blog we have another great challenge for you!

The theme is,"Anything Goes with a Printable"

To participate in our My Besties 3D challenges go here:

For this project i am using a My Besties 3D sheet called Princess Crown found at Sherri Baldy's My Besties Etsy store here.  I turned the image on the crown into a 3D image also by printing the image out several times to make the 3D look.
** NOTE The crown is really made to be a decoration and not for a child to wear.

I made this crown two sizes, one for a centerpiece with a glass container holding a wand and candy.  The smaller size is to cover a balloon weight.

 

Side view showing the 3D layers:

These sheets are fun and easy to use!  They are all pre-colored for you, all you do is print out your sheets, cut out the pieces you wish to use and layer them with foam tape, foam dots/squares or Silicone glue.
