MFT - SS2018 - Complementary Colors - thinking of you

Hello!

Day 4 of MFT Summer School is Complementary Colors.

My card uses a flower stamp inked up in two colors of dye ink - Periwinkle and Orange Zest. A small star flower was randomly stamped with Periwinkle to create some interest.  A 'thinking of you' sentiment was used. For additional interests and sparkle a thin strip of orange foil DP was adhered to the right side of the panel and clear sequins were added to the centers of the flowers.

MFT SS2018 - Repetition - Make a Wish or Two

Hello!

It's Day 3 at MFT Summer School ... today is Repetition. 

The 'Make a Wish or Two' sentiment was used for the repetition.  The colors used were mostly pinks and grays.  A thin strip of silver glitter and pink polka dot DP were added for interest. To further emphasize the repetition the last repeat of the sentiment was stamped on Slate Gray card stock with Versamark ink and heat embossed in white.  Clear sequins with pink rhinestones added to the centers complete the card.  Some of the presents and ribbons were painted with clear WOS.

MFT SS2018 - Primary Colors - Hello Enjoy Your Day

Greetings!

It's Day 2 at MFT Summer School.  Our assignment is Primary Colors.

For my card three butterflies were inked in red, yellow and blue dye inks and die cut. Then, they were randomly placed on a fishtail die-cut and adhered to a die-cut panel.  A clear rhinestone adhered to the center of each butterfly and a painting of clear WOS adds sparkle.  For additional interest 'Enjoy Your Day' part of the sentiment was stamped over the 'Hello'.

Twofer - Butterflies

Hello!

Time to play in Darnell's Twofer Card Challenge #5 - Butterflies.  This challenge is thoroughly enjoyable ... making two cards for one challenge.

The cards presented are in the Birthday and Get Well categories.   The common element is the solid butterfly die cut from MFT Fancy Butterflies.

Card 1 - Happiest of Birthdays.  The butterfly was cut from a watercolor panel spritzed with water and color shine and half of it was adorned with gear die-cuts cut from the same watercolor panel and embellishments randomly placed for a mixed media look. A gear and enamel heart embellishment were adhered to the center. The butterfly was attached to an embossed wood-grain panel then adhered to the larger stitched rectangle panel. A simple birthday sentiment finished the card.

Card 2 - sending get well wishes. The butterfly was cut from a Distress Oxide Ink blended panel.  The companion to the solid die-cut butterfly was cut from vellum.  A few gemstones in the colors of the solid panel were attached to the spine. The butterfly was attached to a framed panel with an embossed inset using the MFT Grosgrain Texture Board.  A simple sentiment completes the card.

CAS Watercolour - You Did It!

Greetings!

The CAS Watercolour Challenge for May is Rainbow.  My rendition includes the following:

On a white panel the rainbow explosion was created using a stamp from MFT Distressed Patterns using a variety of Distress Inks. After stamping, each of the colored areas was placed lightly into water spritzed onto my craft mat to enable the colors to slightly blend/run.  When the rainbow panel was dry, it was over stamped with a Water Droplets Background stamp.  The white panel was created using Stitched Cloud Edges die and trimmed with black using the same die. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Wish everyone a wonderful Mother's Day!

Twofer - Get Well - Thinking of You

Greetings!

Another fun challenge at Darnell's Twofer Card Challenge #3.  This episode's opportunity is Blossom.

The sentiment on Card 1 (on the right in the picture) falls within the Get Well category.  Card 2 (on the left) is Thinking of You.  From MFT Doodle Blooms stamp and dies I used a stamp and die to create a trio of flowers in Card 1.  Card 2 uses the same stamp and die for the middle of the large flower.  Bold and bright colors with glittery flower centers were used in Card 1.  Card 2 was created using softer colors with a flower printed enamel dot for the center.
