Saddle Up and Celebrate

I believe I mentioned that the twins turn 2 on Saturday. I made Arthur's card a while ago but hadn't made Valerie's yet. So I bought this new set from MFT but hadn't used it yet. It has both a boy and a girl image in it. That's one of the reasons I bought it. And I love the way this card turned out!

The MFT stamp set is called Saddle Up & Celebrate. I used the coordinating dies for the set. I colored the images with Spectrum Noir markers. The sentiment is from the same set and die cut with MFT Pierced Fishtail Flags. I paper pieced the bands of the hats (I just freehanded those) and the girl's scarf. I used the MFT Mini Cloud Edges Stencil for the cloud background using Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. The stitched hills in the background are from Simon Says Stitched Slopes and Hills and brown card stock. The grass is MFT Fresh Cut Grass. I am entering these challenges:

• Tuesday Morning Sketches: sketch 
  
• Addicted to Stamps and More: make your mark 
  
• Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
• Scrapping4Fun: anything goes
• The Outlawz Festive Friday: birthday

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my project today. A busy weekend ahead. My FIL will be coming back to help celebrate the twins' birthday. Saturday we have a memorial service and then the birthday party. After that we'll be heading for Baby Creek to spend Sunday out at our other property where some friends are going to meet us for Sunday dinner and games. Never a dull moment. LOL! Have a super fun weekend!
