Lilo's Fun Friday is back #16

Aloha Friday everyone!
Yes, LFF is back and refreshed from CHA.  Apologies for not pre-posting while I was gone.  My process is to make something two days before I post.  Well at least that's how it is for LFFs.  When I'm doing DT projects I try to have them pre-posted the prior week.  I did say try.  lol..  Anyhoos, I hope you like my share for today.

If you've been reading my posts you know that when I got back from CHA there was some awesome happy mail waiting for me.  In one of the packages was a stamp that I won from Island Scapbooking (Hilo, HI.)  Now I already have the stamp since I pre-ordered it and was super stoked to get another one.  Now what am I gonna do with two of the same stamp?  Well I'm thinking I need to have a give-a-way.  I'll get to that in a bit. 

So the stamp I won is Miyako from Sister Stamps release #5.  I had to wait to ink her up since I had to finish some DT work, nut last night I got to play with her and had so much fun coloring her up.  I went to my stash of washi and origami papers and found 2 cute prints of origami that would go nicely with my image.  I wanted to try something different so was thinking easel card, but with a twist. 

This is a twisted easel card.   The card measures (when closed) 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".  Below is a close-up of Miyako and the sentiment (handwritten).  I paper pieced the origami heart she is holding over her head with a different origami pattern paper than the background paper.   That purple paper that is cut out with the heart circle Spellbinder is Tsumugi cardstock in Iris from Hanko Designs.  I love that cs and use it for special cards like this one.  It has a really nice design and the color was perfect for my card.  ( I have about 10 different colors with 3 different patterns. I always stock up when I'm around the Hanko booth at any craft show) There is a white circle mounted behind Miyako that I distressed with dusty concord and tattered rose distress inks.

The sentiment is handwritten and you if you look closely you can barely see the hearts around the border.  I used a Copic marker to do that.  I thought the sentiment was perfect for this special card that I am sending to my February Secret Sister.  Our theme is hearts and there are plenty of those here.  :)

I used some of my new Copics to color her kimono.  Lovin' the new Vs & RVs.  The colors will be listed at the bottom of this post.  Don't you think she's a cutie?  She makes me happy and I hope she'll make my SS happy too.

Alrighty are you ready?  So for this week's LFF #16, I am going to add Mr. Linky to the bottom of this post for your chance to win my extra stamp of Miyako.  Before you link up read my rules:

• Directly link a "For Fun" post - What is a "For Fun" post?  A new post that is NOT linked for any challenges. 
• If you DO NOT have Miyako or ANY Sister Stamps - I want to share her with someone who didn't get a chance to order her or who does not have any Sister Stamps and would love to try one. 
• DO NOT POST on your blog. 
• Leave me a comment and then tell me if you are a fan of Sister Stamps (like me) and why.
• I will keep this open until the next LFF post which is Friday, 2/17 at 4am (PST).
• Please feel free to link even if you aren't interested in the stamp.  Let me know in the comments section if you don't, I still would love to come and see your post. :)

As this is my give-a-way I reserve the right to disqualify anyone who doesn't follow the rules. 

Well that's it!  Have a fantastik Friday and a super awesome weekend.  I'm so stoked because my sister and her fiance are coming to visit this weekend.  We haven't seen them since before Thanksgiving so it will be a really nice visit.  I'll be crafting in between because I'm so behind.  Mahalo for stopping by today!  Good luck!!

Hugs,
Lilo
