I’ve got a couple of cards to show you using today’s products so let’s get to it. If you know me you know I’m a cat person but  I had the most fun creating this card with Canine Companions! To begin, I sponged my background with Sour Apple and Berrylicious dye inks. Then, very lightly with a pencil, I drew my hole in the ground and the dirt pile and went back and colored with Copics. Then I stamped and die cut my doggie and colored him with Copic markers, too.



I popped him up on foam tape along with some Puffy Clouds Die-namics and the sentiment which was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock cut with Essential Speech Bubble Die-namics. To finish off, I added some hearts cut from Wild Cherry card stock with Tag Builder Blueprints 6. So much FUN!

My next card is totally different, using Magical Mandala Background.



First, I stamped the image on Ranger Watercolor Paper with Delicata Gold ink and heat embossed with gold fine detail embossing powder. Next I did a watercolor wash with some dramatic jewel shades of blue and green. I popped that up on some Brushed Gold Card stock that was adhered directly to the Sweet Tooth card stock base at a wonky angle to add a little contrast and to ground the card front.



The sentiment is from Anything-but-Basic Birthday Wishes and was also heat embossed with gold on Black Licorice card stock cut with Slanted Sentiment Strips Die-namics, and finished off with some matching enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you back tomorrow for Day One of MFT’s February Release Countdown!
