4/20/17 ** Here's my take on RC's SFYTT for this month. Happy
to try All About Ewe stamp set out on the sketch. It's a cutie!! ;)
I embossed the ewe on black cardstock; stamped it again on white
and paper-pieced the white into my black ewe for the two-tone
effect. My background was sponged with 3 shades of green and
then spritzed with some water to add interest. TFL!
4/20/17 ** Been wanting to play with MFT Bundle of Baby Clothes
and Welcome Baby! I turned the sketch horizontally and it worked
great with a couple of tweaks. I used Die-namics stitched rectangle
scallop edge frame for my background. This is the first time I've
created a card with dies alone (except for the stamped sentiment)...
quite refreshing.
4/18/17 ** Dawn hosts this weeks MIM at PTI with her simple but
effective technique of placing a sponged stencil background behind
a die-cut window. Love the delicate background created by this
method...a perfect place to ground some pretty florals.
I tried using Betsy's Bloom & Grow florals but they were a bit too
small and I couldn't get the right balance. I ended up using MFT Bold Blooms which fit perfectly in the spaces I had intended to embellish. I have a retirement dinner to attend this Friday for a hygienist in the office where I work...so this card is intended for her.
Supplies: PTI Banner Style, Double Ups: Rectangles die. PTI dye inks: Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet, New Leaf, Spring Moss, Ripe Avocado, Honey Nut, Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky. PTI cardstock (Linen, Spring Moss).
Misc: MFT Bold Blooms, Prima stencil (raindrops). **TFL and have a great week!
3/12/17 ** PTI's April release Create Along With Us
is in full swing! There are so many wonderful samples
showcasing the new products. I have selected Nichole's
simple but beautiful lavender card where she used Betsy's
Mix and Mat: Scallops die for my inspiration.
We are throwing a baby shower this weekend for our daughter #3 and I wanted to make her a baby shower card. I also haven't had the pleasure of using my Cutaway Tags: Spring die. My card front seemed a bit plain so I was happy to add something cute inside.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the release!
4/7/17 ** Here is my take on this week's MFT Wednesday sketch challenge. I used MFT Pure Innocence Spring Friends, Wonky Stitched circles and Radiating Rays stencil. My circle came out larger than in the sketch in order to accommodate the PI figure.
This sketch is rather busy so I tried to keep it simple (??).
4/5/17 ** Lexi has a fun idea for this weeks MIM. She uses a smaller background and creates her focal stamped image larger so that it extends beyond the background (simple but effective).
I was itching to try my new shipment (finally) of goodies from PTI! I selected Betsy's Bloom & Grow mini kit/Mix & Mat: Flourishes die to create my card for the challenge. My inspiration comes from one of Betsy's sample for her kit tho I changed it up a bit. I wanted the slanted fill in the die to be brown to mimic a basket background. The blooms in this set are so much fun to play with. My sentiment comes from Lawn Fawn's Happy, Happy, Happy. I did not use a stamped background so my card is more like Lexi's first card with a physical matted square.
TFL and thanks for your comments! ;)
