My Heart Hurts for You - MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #584

 

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 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.

For today's card I wanted to send some love to the people of Ukraine. Their courage and love of country humbles me--I simply cannot imagine the pain and anguish they are going through as they see their people killed and their beautiful country destroyed. Praying for an end of the atrocities and for them to be able to begin rebuilding their country. 

Heart Rays Die-namics was a perfect way to display the flag colors and also reinforce the message of the sentiment from Deepest Sympathy Stamp Set. I cut it from Butterscotch and Cornflower card stocks, reassembled using both colors and secured the pieced on the back with tape. The background was created using Mini Cloud Edges Stencil and Lazy Day dye ink on Sweet Tooth card stock which was adhered directly to a Sweet Tooth card stock base.

The two bottom sketch elements were done with Stitched Rolling Cloud Edges Die-namics cut from Sweet Tooth card stock with the sentiment from Deepest Sympathy Stamp Set stamped with Extreme Black hybrid ink and popped up on foam. The heart was also popped up on foam and clear raindrop "tears" added. I finished with a few more hearts, cut with Tag Builder Blueprints 5 Die-namics.

We have a super fun classic sketch to play with this week--just full of possibilities!

I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base and added a piece of Party Time patterned paper for the fishtail element directly to the base. Next I added more patterned paper backed with Sweet Tooth card stock for strength for the rectangle element. To this I added Balloon Bundle Stamp Set stamped on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink and cut with Balloon Bundle Die-namics. It was colored with Copic markers and popped up on foam tape.

The sentiment is from Little Birthday Notes Stamp Set and was heat embossed on Eiffel Tower card stock cut with Skinny Strips Die-namics and also popped up on foam tape. A few glitter enamel dots finished it off.

What a great sketch for a one layer card, right??? I mean, the work is almost already done for you so I couldn't resist playing along!! I decided to use Basic Shapes - Circles Stencil and use rainbow colors for my version.

I simply got out a bunch of dye inks (see below) and tried to match the stencil openings to the circles in the sketch and just started sponging the colors on a panel of Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper.

Once that was all done I stamped the sentiment, from Anything-but-Basic Birthday Wishes Stamp Set, with Extreme Black hybrid ink, adhered the card front to a Sweet Tooth card stock base, and finished off with enamel dots for the smaller elements.

All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT Blog as well as in the weekly newsletter.

I decided on a super sweet Halloween card for today's sketch using Halloween Hoo Stamp Set and Die-namics.

To begin, I sponged the night sky using Broken China, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, & Black Soot Distress Inks and after they dried, spattered white craft paint for the starry sky. Next I cut the rectangle element out with A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, adhered the main part directly to a Blue Beyond card stock base and popped the die cut up on foam tape.

Next the images were stamped on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, colored with Copic markers and popped up on the card front following the sketch. The sentiment was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock cut with Skinny Strips Die-namics and also popped up on foam.

Merry & Bright - MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #559

 

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 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.

As I often do when I'm looking for an idea for a card, I just flipped through my product and as soon as I saw Christmas Lights Die-namics I knew I had a winner!

To begin, I cut the strings and socket from Jalapeño Popper card stock and the bulbs from No Line Coloring card stock because I wanted to color them instead of cutting from card stock. Next I cut the words from Gold Sparkle card stock using In Stitches Uppercase and Lowercase Alphabets and In Stitches Numbers.

Using Slimline Starter Die-namics, I cut Black Licorice card stock for the card front and sponged it first with white then gold pigment ink around the edges for just a little interest then adhered it directly to a Sweet Tooth card stock base.

The rest was easy--simply pop all the elements up on the card front with foam tape and finish off with a few gold 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!
