Sending Holiday Cheer - MFT Color Challenge #174

 

Hi all, I'm back with the latest MFT Color Challenge! Are you ready? Here's this week's color combo: Black Licorice, Sno Cone, Fire Coral, and Jalapeño Popper. All of the details about the color challenge are available on the MFT 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.

My inspiration for this card was a painting that I loved of a front door decorated for Christmas. Very CAS but exuding Christmas spirit. I hope I've come somewhat close to the original ;-)

To begin, I sponged my background on Sweet Tooth card stock using Fire Coral dye ink and English Brick wall stencil. Once dry, it was adhered directly to a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Next I stamped the door from BB Sittin' Pretty Stamp Set with Extreme Black hybrid ink on No Line Coloring card stock, cut it out with the coordinating Die-namics and colored it with Copic markers.

I added Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics cut from Sweet Tooth card stock--the back one directly to the card front, then popped up the door, along with the front snow drift after stamping the sentiment from Bitty Holiday Wishes with Black Licorice dye ink. The door decoration is from Christmas Cardinals Stamp Set, was stamped with Extreme Black hybrid ink on No Line Coloring card stock, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, colored with Copic markers, and adhered to the door with foam, along with a baker's twine bow.

And there you have it! Now it’s YOUR turn to play! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Blog. You have the chance to win a $50 MFT voucher. Winners are chosen at random, so everyone has a chance!

Hey There, Pumpkin - MFT Color Challenge #172

Hi all, I'm back with the latest MFT Color Challenge! Are you ready? Here's this week's color combo: Summer Splash, Grapesicle, Gravel Gray, and Chantilly Cream. All of the details about the color challenge are available on the MFT Blog as well as in the weekly newsletter.

I'm still in Fall mode so I tried to see if I could use these colors for a Fall card. I think I did it! I mean, I have pillows with pink pumpkins for my living room so why not purple and aqua, right? 

Using Autumn Blessing Stamp Set, I stamped and masked off the larger center pumpkin (I'm using retired Gravel Gray hybrid ink that I still had in my stash--don't tell anyone, 'K?) then stamped the two smaller ones and the sentiment on No Line Coloring card stock. 

Then I colored the pumpkins with Copic markers and adhered the card front onto a Sweet Tooth card stock base with foam tape, and finished off with matching glitter enamel dots.

And there you have it! Now it’s YOUR turn to play! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Blog. You have the chance to win a $50 in MFT voucher. Winners are chosen at random, so everyone has a chance!

I Hope Your Birthday is On Point - MFT Color Challenge #171

 

Hi all, I'm back with the latest MFT Color Challenge! Are you ready?

I went all CAS for this challenge with a one layer card! It's been a while since I made one of them and it was fun!

To begin, I lightly marked my ground level on No Line Coloring card stock with a pencil then stamped my images, masking off the two front ones, stamped the center image, and masked it off, as well. Next I air brushed the ground and sky using the Copic air brush system. I added some shadows to the ground using a marker.

After removing the masks, I colored the images, stamped the sentiment, tied around some baker's twine, and adhered the card front to the Sweet Tooth card base with foam tape for the finish.

And there you have it! Now it’s YOUR turn to play! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Blog. You have the chance to win a $50 in MFT voucher. Winners are chosen at random, so everyone has a chance!

With Gratitude - MFT Color Challenge #170

 

Hi all, I'm back with the latest MFT Color Challenge! Are you ready? Here's this week's color combo: Sour Apple, Butterscotch, Candied Yam, and Gravel Gray. All of the details about the color challenge are available on the MFT 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.

This color combo really spoke to me because it has a Fall vibe--I love Fall and can't wait for it to arrive! To that end, I got out Falling Leaves Die-namics and got to work cutting card stock in the challenge colors. Once I had enough cut, I started sponging the edges with the same colors of dye ink, mixing it up to try to simulate nature.

Once the sponging was done and dried, I slightly watered down some Gravel Gray dye ink and spattered them lightly. Then I arranged them in a wreath shape on the front of a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Once I had it laid out like I wanted, I pencil-drew a circle using A2 Circle STAX as a guide while I adhered the leaves with hot glue.

For the sentiment, I cut Elegant Folded Banner Die-namics from Gravel Gray card stock and heat embossed the sentiment, from Bitty Thanks and Gratitude Stamp Set and adhered it to the wreath, also with hot glue.

And there you have it! Now it’s YOUR turn to play! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Blog. You have the chance to win a $50 in MFT voucher. Winners are chosen at random, so everyone has a chance!

Deepest Sympathy - MFT Color Challenge #169

 

Hi all, I'm back with the latest MFT Color Challenge! Are you ready? Here's this week's color combo: Summer Splash, Tropical Teal, Fire Coral, and Chantilly Cream. All of the details about the color challenge are available on the MFT 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.

Beautiful color combo!!! You could go all tropical or like me, a Winter dusk  skyscape :) To begin, I sponged Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with, top to bottom, Tropical Teal, Summer Splash, and Fire Coral dye inks. Once dry, I added some Ranger Mini Glaze and spattered with watered-down white craft paint for the stars. 

I liked the way it blended but it needed something else so I added Wonderful Woods across where my hills were going to go with Extreme Black hybrid ink, stamping one to three times to get the depth of color I wanted.

Next I cut my deep-in-the-shadows hills from Black Licorice card stock with Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics and arranged them in a rolling hill pattern. Once happy with the arrangement, I heat embossed the sentiment, from Deepest Sympathy Stamp Set.

The hills were adhered with foam tape for dimension, popped it all up on a Chantilly Cream card stock base, and it was done.

And there you have it! Now it’s YOUR turn to play! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Blog. You have the chance to win a $50 in MFT voucher. Winners are chosen at random, so everyone has a chance!

I'm still working my way through all the awesome Birdie Brown Product from the latest Vault Release and just knew these piggies would be perfect for this color combo!

To begin, I sponged Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with Micro Cloud Edges Stencil and Cotton Candy dye ink through Oval Extraordinaire (I do LOVE this stencil!!) as well as Drifts & Hills Stencil using Prickly Pear dye ink--two challenge colors right there! Then I stamped the sentiment from BB Hog Heaven with Extreme Black hybrid ink and popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock base with foam tape.

Next 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. I stamped the cupcake again, fussy cut it, and adhered it on the image for little bit of dimension. Once it was popped up on the card front with foam tape it was done!

These colors just SCREAMED a beach scene to me and I was powerless to fight it. 

To begin, I created my background by sponging Summer Splash dye ink on Sweet Tooth card stock with Mini Cloud Edges Stencil and adhered it to a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Next I cut Beach Scene Builder Die-namics (I love this set--you MUST have it in your stamping arsenal if you're a scene maker!) from Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper, then sponged the pieces with Sour Apple, Caribbean Sea, and Kraft dye inks. 

The sentiment was stamped on the sea element with Extreme Black hybrid ink then all elements were assembled, some directly to the card front and some popped up on foam for dimension.
