Hello!! Hope you week is off to a good start. I have a card that I made for the current
MFT sketch challenge. Since it is pretty clean and simple I'm also going to add this to the
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. I recently bought the fun MFT stamp and die set Ocean Fun and have been wanting to make a card with it. When I started the card I was just going to have simple windows, but decided to change the windows to shaker elements. I inked up my background with Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers distress oxide inks. I trimmed down my white cardstock panel and then die cut the windows using a MFT Inside Out Stitched Round rectangle die. Using removable tape I positioned the panel so that I could stamp the little background images inside the windows. I adhered the acetate to the panel and created my little shakers. The jellies were stamped using Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers and then die cut them with the matching dies. I used small pieces of the acetate to create little tabs to attached the jellies to the card. This gives them a little bit of movement, but not as much as I had thought they would. I think my acetate is too thick and thus too stiff. Oh well... they still look cute. I think I will also add this to the
MFT design superstar challenge in the innovation category. It isn't super innovative, but there will still be a chance to win $100 gc in the random draw.
Supplies: Cardstock: MFT white, PTI black; Stamps and dies: MFT; Ink: Ranger Distress Oxide inks, VersaMark watermark ink; Hero Arts white embossing powder; clear acetate; sequin mix
Hello!!! Wow... the week is almost over!! I'm popping in with a card for several challenges: MFT design superstar, MFT sketch challenge, SSS Wednesday challenge and Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge (watercoloring). I am by no stretch of the imagination a coloring virtuoso, but I wanted to challenge myself to do some watercoloring and the MFT design superstar challenge was just the push I needed. I got out my MFT Sweet Forest Friends stamps and dies and did some watercoloring. I had to color the little fox twice because the first one didn't turn out so well, but I'm really pleased with my coloring since I hadn't really done any in quite some time. After coloring up all my little critters with various ZIG markers I watercolored a panel of watercolor paper with a light blue ZIG and then part of watercolor panel with two green ZIGs. When dry both panels were die cut with the MFT Inside Out Stitched Round Rectangle dies. I popped up the green portion on the blue background and then adhered the tree and the critters using more pop dots. The sentiment was stamped on a scrap piece of watercolor paper that had been light colored with the same blue ZIG and then die cut with another MFT die. I added a little bit of white baker's twine to finish things off.
