Hello!!! Happy new year everyone!! I haven't done a lot of crafting lately and I feel so rusty!! I got some new crafty supplies from MFT yesterday and it was just what I need to get me back in the swing of things... sort of, lol!! I'm also in the midst of purging a lot of stuff that I don't use so we will see how it goes! Anyway, I used the current MFT Wednesday challenge sketch and the colors from Color Throwdown as my starting point. I decided to purchase the MFT Fancy Floral card kit and a few other items so I used the one of the floral images for my card. I stamped it in VersaFine black onyx on watercolor paper, along with the stem and leaves, and then watercolored everything with my ZIG markers (dark and light pink for the flower, green for the stem and leaves). Once they were dry I die cut them with the corresponding dies. The rectangle was die cut using one of the smaller MFT mini scalloped rectangle die from black cardstock so that the flower would pop a bit more. The sentiment is from the MFT/LJD Geometric Greenery stamp set. I die cut a MFT Fishtail Flag Stax from white cardstock, stamped the sentiment in black and then trimmed it down. Terribly simple, but that is about all I have right now, lol!! Also adding this to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of something new since I used new stamps and dies.
Hope you have a wonderful day...
Supplies: Cardstock: white, light gray and black; Stamps: My Favorite Things; Dies: My Favorite Things and AJVD; Inks: VersaFine; Watercolor medium: ZIG clean color markers
