I Am Blessed By Your Friendship–MFTWSC #24 & CTD #146

Happy Wednesday! Since it *is* Wednesday, it’s time for another Color Throwdown and MFTWSC Challenge. Today’s colors were chosen by my BFF Tammy, and here they are:

And here’s this week’s sketch. You can find the sketch on the MFT blog and also in the MFT forum on SCS, as well as in the weekly newsletter. The Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

The colors are a nice summery citrus combination, so I pulled out my favorite paper for this kind of color palette: the Citrus Mat Stack by K & Co, I love this paper. I decided to make a scrappy kinda card so I chose MFT’s Clearly Inspired by Friendship as my focal image and sentiment, all rolled into one.

I used several patterns of paper from the collection and embellished with baker’s twine, a button, and a designer thumbtack for the flower center. I used several Die-namics dies for this card:
Medium Simply Scallops, Pretty Posies, Leafy Flourish, and Dainty Doily
