Cheers to You - MFT January Birthday Project Challenge















Babies born in January have double the reason to celebrate! They get to welcome a new calendar year and enjoy the observance of their birth all in the same month. This month, we've challenged our team to recognize both milestones with birthday cards featuring the word cheers. We'll toast to that!


I went with a bright rainbow background for my Mondo Cheers Die-namics focal point with a partial sentiment from Well, Hello Stamp Set. The background was done using Ken Oliver Color Bursts Brights and Fresh Florals and a waterbrush. Once it was dry, I spattered it with clean water and black acrylic ink and popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock base with strips of Black & White Stripes Paper Pack at the top and bottom.



Part of a sentiment from Well, Hello Stamp Set was heat embossed on Black Licorice Card Stock cut with Skinny Strips Die-namics and adhered to the card front. I cut Mondo Cheers Die-namics from Gold Sparkle card stock and twice from scraps of white, adhered them together in a stack and then onto the card front for the finish.

Now, it's your turn. You have until Wednesday, February 12, at noon EST to add your link and be eligible for the prize of $50 in MFT Cash to be spent in the MFT boutique. Winners are chosen at random, so everyone has a chance!

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!
