Howdy, friend–MFTWSC #32 & CTD #154

Howdy, friends! It’s time for my two favorite challenges! MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge and Color Throwdown! Here are this week’s colors, chosen by my bestie, Tammy Hershberger.

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.
And, here’s my card. I’d  been asked by a co-worker to make one for her to send to a male friend in need of encouragement and this is what I came up with.

As you can see, I flipped the sketch and kept the elements on the masculine side. I’m using the Well Worn Greetings Die-namics and Stamp Set for my sentiment and focal element, and the Open Zig Zag Border Die-namics for the border. I added some twill and a twine-tied button for the accent piece.
Here’s the inside with a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About the Journey  and another Zig Zag border.

Here are the Die-namics dies I used on this card.


Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown. If you upload your card to a public forum, please use the keyword CTD154 so we can see your beauty all in one place. Hope to see you there! Be sure to check out what the other team members have come up with this week!
