MCV - Season's Greetings

Greetings!

Just having fun playing cards with Muse: ChristmasVisions 83. Actually, this is the second card I made (but didn't post before today) ... it's an extra for fun. My inspiration came from the small houses on one of Cornelia's cards.  I thought of them as gingerbread houses. I stamped the houses and sentiment in brown ink. To give the gingerbread look I used a white Gelly Roll pen to add frosting/icing to the roof lines. Strips in red and green foil DP were adhered below the houses.

Greetings!

Another fun day at MFT - Camp Create  This episode is Awesome Ombre. I created a free-form ombre look using MFT Distress Patterns and Abstract Art Stamps and Ranger Distressed Inks (Mermaid Lagoon, Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn, Cracked Pistaccio). The sentiments are from the MFT Simply Fabulous Sayings stamp set. To finish a few stars from the MFT Hand Lettered Holiday stamps set were randomly stamped.

Hi Everyone,

Another fun acitivity at MFT - Camp Create ... Delightful Die-cutting.

My card is very CAS. The die-cut was created from an ink blended panel. It was layered with three cuts of black card stock for dimension and interest. For shimmer a few coats of clear WOS were applied. Clear sequins add sparkle.

MFT - thinking of you

Hi Everyone!

Another fun activity at MFT - Camp Create - Monochromatic Magic. I chose to use Kraft, light browns and cream colors. The floral image and butterfly were stamped on DP. A light coating of clear WOS was applied to the flowers and butterfly. The sentiment was stamped using a Chocolate colored pigment ink and heat embossed with clear EP. For interest score lines were made between the image and sentiment.

MFT - Magnificent Masking

Hi Everyone,

Another session at MFT Camp Create - Magnificent Masking. 

I chose to use the Doodle Blooms stamp set to stamp, mask, stamp, etc. various blooms. The large ones were chosen to color in shades of red with Copic markers. Clear WOS and gold sequins add shimmer and sparkle. To separate the flower panel from the sentiment panel strips of foil paper in gold and red were adhered. The sentiment was stamped/heat embossed in white on the black panel.

MCV - Wishing you ...

Hi Everyone!


This has been a fun time at Muse: ChristmasVisions 83 to create four cards from Cornelia's impressive array of inspirational cards. The wreath was created by very lightly drawing a couple of circles then filling in the space with red and green snowflakes, yellow stars and a few green sprigs. A bow in a light green shade painted with a coat of clear WOS and small clear gems add interest to the wreath. The sentiment is stamped in a darker shade of green.

MFT - hello ...

Hi All!

Another fun day at MFT Camp Create - Background Bonanza.

The background was created by using three cuts from MFT - Sno-Drifts Coverup and staggering them to create a 'stencil'. The Distress Ink colors used ... Crab Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral. The 'hello' sentiment was die-cut from black card stock and attached to a thin black strip with the remainder of the sentiment stamped/heat embossed in white. The 'hello' was painted with a few coats of clear WOS for shimmer. A few clear sequins add sparkle.

A couple of fun challenges ...

Muse: ChristmasVisions (MCV) 83 and MFT - Camp Create - Inlaid Made Easy

For MCV 83 Cornelia provided four cards for our inspirations.  Her card with the penguins inspired my rendition that is suited for the southwest Arizona, USA, environment.  (For those unfamiliar with Yuma, Arizona, it is a winter destination for visitors from the cold climates and very hot in the summer.) Part of the design includes inlaid circle and date palm tree that is our assignment for MFT Day 1 Camp Create.

The sentiment was stamped following the curve of stamped dashed lines. For shimmer the flowers were painted with a couple coats of clear WOS. Sparkle was added with clear sequins. For interest a couple of small flowers peak from the top of the pocket. All stamps, dies and ink are MFT.
