A Beautiful Day - MFTWSC #51

Are you ready for this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge? 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.

I decided to go all scrappy with this card and I brought out the very first Inspired By Flowers set, Set 1. I've always LOVED this carnation image. I stamped it on some patterned paper, colored it with Copic markers, and went to town with the sketch. I stamped the sentiment, from the recently released Inspired By Months Of the Year on a Ticket Tab Die-namics die cut and attached it to the image panel with some zig zag stitching. I decided to leave the ends loose for a little textural interest. I used my Simply Scalloped, Medium Die-namics die for the border, did some more stitching, and added some twine and a button to finish off the sketch. I really like how this card turned out.

For the INSIDE of the card, I stamped the carnation again, stamped off once, and a sentiment from the set.

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by!
