I have a couple of cards for you today using many of these products starting with this shaker card. You knew there HAD to be a rainbow card at some point, right? ;-) I started with a piece of Sweet Tooth card stock and stenciled some clouds on it with another product being release this month: Cloud Stencil! This stencil is going to revolutionize your
cloud sponging, I promise you! More on that later :) After I sponged my clouds with
Blue Breeze dye ink, I cut it out with Bold Stripes Cover-Up Die-namics and created my shaker element with Heat Resistant Acetate card stock, foam mounting tape, and Queen & Company Topping Set – Diamonds.

I adhered Sweet Tooth card stock to the back and then to the card base. I added a Radiant Sun Die-namics cut from Sunshine card stock and clouds, stamped with Beach Bunnies Stamp Set and Black Licorice dye ink. I stamped the sentiment from Beach Bunnies Stamp Set and adhered it to one of the strips and was done.

For my second card, I created a darling little beach scene.

I’m using Beach Scene Builder Die-namics which I LOVE!! My water and sky were watercolored with Peerless Watercolors on Ranger Watercolor paper, my sand is latte card stock with the sentiment stamped on it before adhering to the Sweet Tooth card stock base, and I added some depth to my Kraft card stock palm tree trunk and coconuts with Copic markers. The palm leaves were cut from Gumdrop Green card stock and Sour Apple card stock, and the sun from Sunshine card stock.

I stamped the bunny and the adorable little changing rooms on X-Press It Blending Card with Black Licorice hybrid ink, colored them with Copic markers, and popped them up on foam.

And that’s it from me for Day Five of
MFT’s May Release Countdown!! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you back tomorrow for Day Four!

Hi, all, I'm back with the latest MFT Color Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s color combo: Tropical Teal, Persimmon, Lemon Drop, and Limelight. 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.

What a great color combo, right? Reminded me of Fiestaware so I decided to get out my LLD Tea Party Die-namics for this card. I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then on a trimmed-down piece of Sweet Tooth card stock I stamped Diagonal Design Background with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder before popping it up on the base with foam mounting tape.

Next I cut the cups from all four colors of card stock and added two decorative strips using other colors in the combo. I “stacked” them and popped them up on foam, then stamped the sentiment from LLD Cup of Tea with Blueberry dye ink on Sweet Tooth card stock and popped it up on foam. I finished off with some matching enamel dots.

And there you have it! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the
MFT Challenge Blog. You have the chance to win a $20 in MFT voucher. One winner is chosen at random each week!

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!
