MFTCPC103_2018oct11


Hi, all, I'm back with the latest MFT Color Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s color combo: Wild Wisteria, Limelight, Blu Raspberry, and Gravel Gray. All of the details about the color 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 really love this color combo and I wanted to use something from the just-released products from MFT so I looked at PI Holiday Greetings. Once I saw this sentiment, that is not specifically Christmas-oriented, I knew that’s what I would use. I started with the background by sponging some sky with Blu Raspberry dye ink. Then to create the sense that little PI was downtown shopping, I made the corner of a building with English Brick Wall Stencil and some molding paste. After it dried I sponged some Cement Gray dye ink on it and popped it up on foam. I added Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics and a strip of Gravel Gray card stock for the sidewalk. To complete the background I stamped and colored some trees from Cool Christmas, then fussy cut them out to streamline the look.

Then I stamped the image on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut it out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers before popping it up with foam. The sentiment was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock cut with Hearts in a Row – Vertical and also popped up on foam for the finish. I was quite please with how this turned out!

And there you have it! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the
