MFTeaser Day One: Thinking of Hoo



Today begins a five-day-long series of teasers for all the new stamp sets coming from My Favorite Things next Wednesday, January 6. Be sure to check out Kim's blog at 11 am EST each day from today through Wednesday so you don't miss a single peek.

One of the sets we're peeking today is Thinking of Hoo, a set that was part of a recent MFT Kit, and is now going to be re-released on its own. I have loved this cute, little owl from the minute I first saw him, so I couldn't wait to finally get him inky. I colored the image with Copic markers, trimmed him out, and gave him a sky background from the new Love Me Do collection by My Mind's Eye. The super bright colors are perfect for this little guy! The pretty scalloped card base is one of the Fossil Note Cards available from MFT, and the red polka dot ribbon is part of the Polka Dot Perfection Ribbon Nest.

Remember to head over to Kim's for links to all the other designers who are posting today! Enjoy!
