This card is also for this week’s Crazy 4 Challenges—an all white card. I think they’re hard to do but I’m happy with how this one turned out.

I have a couple of cards for you today using some of these new products. I am in love with these leaves!! Just THINK of the many ways you’re going to be able to use them! One way is to do what I did today. I stamped the leaves on Ranger Watercolor Paper with Versamark, heat embossed with copper detail embossing powder, and colored them with Peerless Watercolors and a waterbrush. Then I mounted it on a Primitive Cream card stock base and added the sentiment, also on Primitive Cream card stock and also heat embossed with copper embossing powder. I cut it with Tag Builder Blueprints 5 Die-namics and added a Copper Shine card stock layer under it, cut with Blueprints 29 Die-namics. Some copper thread adds another layer of copper to tie everything together.

My second card uses the SUPER cute
Llama Love and Llama Love Die-namics.

Sweet Tooth card stock was used for everything except the images, which were stamped with Black Licorice hybrid ink on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers. For the background, I applied molding paste through Small Brick Wall Stencil, let it dry, and then, again through the stencil, sponged on Brick Red dye ink.

The images were popped up on foam mounting tape and the llamas blanket was cut from Trail Mix Paper Pack. The sentiment was stamped on Sweet Tooth card stock cut with Blueprints 28 Die-namics with hemp cord “rope” to simulate a banner across the “street”. This was tons of fun to make!

And that’s it for Day Five! Thanks for stopping by! See you back tomorrow for Day Four of
MFT’s September Release Countdown!

Hello There–MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #296

MFTWSC296_2016sep1

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 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.

MFT_WSC_296

I love this sketch!!! There are so many ways it can be interpreted, so I’m sure I’ll be revisiting it. For this card I’m using the fabulous Hello There Die-namics for my focal point. The two side elements are cut from Rainbow Stripes Paper Pack, the center element is Sweet Tooth card stock on which I spread molding paste through Grid Stencil. After that dried, I sponged Lush Lagoon dye ink (I LOVE that color!!!) on Sweet Tooth card stock in an ombre pattern, cut the die out, and popped it up on foam mounting tape on top of some rolled up silver thread.

Next I added the beginning of the sentiment from Label Maker Sentiments stamped with Black Licorice dye ink. To finish off, I added some silver glitter enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by! Remember, you can get all the details by visiting the
