Hey!! It is a beautiful day here in the Pacific Northwest... might be a little too hot for me, but beautiful nonetheless!! Yesterday was gorgeous too and it looks like we have a full week of lovely weather ahead! Have a card to share today for a couple of challenges: Less is More (color challenge - purple) and My Favorite Things sketch challenge. I always want to play along with the MFT sketch challenge, but never seem to find the time. Finally this past weekend I was able to make a clean and simple card using the MFT layout. I started by die cutting my panel with the largest MFT Inside Out Stitched Rectangle die. I then placed a Spellbinders plain oval die inside the panel and ran it through my Big Shot using the sandwich to emboss the oval (not cut it) into the cardstock. I ended up having to do it twice because I didn't get a deep enough impression the first time. Once that was done I die cut the flowers from the MFT Mini Modern Blooms die set and then using second generation stamping stamped them with the corresponding images using purple ink. The centers of the flowers were stamped with the purple ink at full strength. I used my mini MISTI to stamp the leaves in a pale green ink and then the sentiment. Adhered the flowers to the panel and then the panel to a pale grey cardstock base. 
Thanks for stopping by today...
Supplies: Cardstock: white, Simon Says Stamp fog; Stamps: My Favorite Things; Dies: My Favorite Things and Spellbinders; Inks: Close to My Heart Pansy Purple and Memento Tuxedo Black and New Sprout
