Ahoy, Mate!–MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #339

Hi, everyone, I’m back with this week’s MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s sketch. All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT Challenge & Inspiration blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The MFT Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

I decided to give the no-line coloring thing another go using this little cutie from BB Party Like a Pirate stamp set. This technique does take a lot of practice—I’m not happy with the eyes so concentrate on them next time. And I don’t have enough definition on my “edges” so that needs work too.

I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base and added a mat cut from Sweet Sunshine Paper Pack with Stitched Mini Scallop Square STAX Die-namics. Then I cut Stitched Square Frames Die-namics from Red Not card stock, popped it up on more patterned paper on which I stamped the sentiment with Blueberry dye ink, and adhered it to the card front.

Next I stamped the image on No-Line Coloring Card Stock with Kraft hybrid ink. I didn’t have any Cement Gray hybrid ink but I’ll remedy that by the next time. I colored with Copic markers and popped her up on the frame to finish.

And there you have it! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Challenge Blog. You have the chance to win a $20 in MFT voucher. One winner is chosen at random each week!

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!

You’re the Beary Best–CTD #449

Hi, everyone! It’s time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge! Today’s hot colors are courtesy of Vickie, based on her vibrant inspiration piece.




I love this little bear so I got him out again for today’s card. I started by sponging my background using Orange Fizz dye ink and Orange Zest dye ink on Sweet Tooth card stock, stamped the sentiment, and popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Next I added Grassy Fields Die-namics cut from Sour Apple card stock and set it aside.



I stamped the images on No-Line Coloring Card Stock with Black Licorice hybrid ink, colored them with Copic markers, and popped them up on the fard front and was done!

And that’s it from me! 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.

You Are My Anchor—MFT June Creative Construction with Blueprints: Make It Masculine

Hi everyone, it’s time for a the June MFT Creative Construction with Blueprints Challenge! This month we’re challenged to “Make it Masculine” and I thought using the recently released You Float My Boat stamp set and You Float My Boat Die-namics along with Blueprints 28 Die-namics to create a slider card would be perfect for this.




I used Sweet Tooth card stock for the card base and the slider mechanism, and on which to stamp the boat with Kraft dye ink, Cornflower dye ink, and Red Hot dye ink. I cut Kraft card stock with Blueprints 22 Die-namics for the tab and stamped it with Interactive Labels, punched a hole, and threaded some heavy cotton yarn through it.



My card front was cut from Blue Breeze card stock then I masked off the border area all around with Post-It Tape and stamped with Whimsical Waves Background and Versamark then heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. The sentiment was stamped before I added the slider element, then the boat was popped up on foam when it was all assembled. I added the anchor, cut with You Float My Boat Die-namics from Brushed Silver card stock to finish off.

And that’s it for today!Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!
