Wish BIG!

Hey, I'm back with a 'just-for-fun' project.  Today, I've used Mei Li from the new Sister Stamps, LLC.  She's just the cutest little thing don't ya think?  :)   Here is a card box that I created.  I followed the instructions from Beate Johns {HERE}.   The technique that I really wanted to try was making clouds for the background. My sweet friends Amy and Alice both did tutorials on how they make a cloud background.  Click {HERE} for Amy's tutorial & click {HERE} for Alice's one.  (Leanne, I finally did it!)


Here's a close up of Mei Li.  I paper pieced the top of her outfit and colored her pants with copics.  Can you believe this is an origami paper?  I had a pack of origami paper in my stash and luv'd the print, thus using it.  Might as well, it'll was there collecting dust.   


Mei Li is adhered to a band that wraps around the card box.  See how spacious the card box is when you open it up?  You can add some TY cards, a gift card, a small RAK, whatever!  I think I'm gonna make more of these in the future.


Well, that's it for me.  I'm trying to work on some other stuff, hopefully I'll be able to get them done and posted here.  Thanks for stoppin' by today!  :)
