Friend, You're All Kinds of Amazing - Color Throwdown Challenge #558

Hello and welcome to a new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Lynn is our hostess and just look at the gorgeous colors she has for us to play with!!



I decided to go CAS today. The colors were done with watercolors on Ranger Watercolor paper then adhered to a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Two smaller Sweet Tooth panels were popped up with foam tape on either side of the color element with the sentiment from Anything-but-Basic Friendship Stamp Set stamped on the bottom one with Extreme Black hybrid ink.

Then I cut Friend Duo Die-namics from Black Licorice card stock once and Sweet Tooth card stock twice, stacked them with spray adhesive, and adhere them, bridging the color element. I finished off with some enamel dots.

And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily.

A Little Birthday Wish for a Great Friend - MFT Color Challenge #124

Hi, all, I'm back with the latest MFT Color Challenge! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s color combo: Lush Lagoon, Smooth White, Limelight, After Midnight. 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.

I was out of Smooth White card stock so I substituted Sweet Tooth card stock. I started by cutting lots of Stitched Flowers and Stitched Blooms Die-namics from the challenge color card stock and then constructed flowers a bunch of flowers. Then I stamped the sentiment from LJD Birthday Greetings Stamp Set with Extreme Black hybrid ink on a Sweet Tooth card stock panel and popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card base with foam tape.

Then I cut A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics from Gold Sparkle card stock and popped it up on foam and finished off by adding all my flowers and leaves with hot glue.

Love You Lots - MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #451

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.

Confession: I couldn’t decide what to do with those rectangles. They had me stumped, so I tried flipping the sketch and that’s when this idea popped into my head. I started with a Grout Gray card stock base, then stamped Romantic Script Background on Sweet Tooth card stock with Grout Gray dye ink and part of a sentiment from From the Heart Stamp Set with Extreme Black hybrid ink and popped the card front up on the base with foam tape.

Next I cut the letters from Sweet Stamp Paper Pack with Impact Alphabet Die-namics, adhered them with foam tape and added Razzle Berry card stock hearts, cut with Tag Builder Blueprints 6 between the letters.

And there you have it! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the MFT Blog. You have the chance to win a $50 in MFT voucher. One winner is chosen at random each week!
