Happy Mother's Day...MFTWSC175 17

Hi there! I hope you are having a great week! It's time for an all new MFTWSC sketch challenge. Thanks to all who joined along with last week's sketch ~ so many fantastic entries!

This week, we at MFT have another fun sketch for you to create with:

I needed to make my sweet MIL a Mother's Day card, so I combined a variety of MFT stamps, Die-namics dies and Pion design patterned papers to create my sample. 

I started by layering pretty papers from the Pion design Vintage Garden collection then die cut two different sized ovals using Die-namics Oval STAX Set 1 dies. To create a "framed" look around the inner oval, I left the oval die in place then stamped the Linen Background using Natural ink. I stamped the beautiful rose image from Inspired by Flowers Set #2 x 2, once on vellum and once on a piece of Blending Card by X-Press It using Hybrid Hot Fudge ink. I colored the image on the Blending card paper using Copic markers then layered on top of the embossed vellum image. The sentiment is from Sweet Roses stamped using Hybrid Hot Fudge ink.

Thanks so much for visiting ~ I hope you join along in the fun! You have the opportunity to win a $20. gift certificate to the MFT Boutique! Be sure to visit the MFT blog for additional inspiration.

I'll be back tomorrow at Midnight Eastern with more to share for the MFT May New Release Countdown Day 6.

Be Sweet ;)

This week, we at MFT have another fabulous sketch for you to create with:

I opted to create a rather clean and simple card for this week's challenge embracing all the primitive white space. 

To create this card, I die cut a piece of Primitive White cardstock using the Die-namics Polka Dot Cover-Up die. I cut three Primitive White stitched circles then added a die cut Lily to each that were cut using the Die-namics Lily die. The sentiment is from Cheerful Blessings:

For color inspiration, I joined along with the current ColourQ color challenge:

Hi there! Hope you are having a great week! It's time for an all new MFTWSC sketch challenge. Thanks to all who joined along with last week's sketch!

This week, we at MFT have another fabulous sketch for you to create with:

I love all the layers in this sketch and the oval shape was perfect to showcase a beautiful damask from Damask Designs:

To create this card, I cut / die cut then layered pretty patterned papers from both the Pion design Flower Frames and Vintage Garden collections, stitched them together then adhered a fancy Die-namics Oval Decorative Doily followed with a stamped / die cut Damask Design. I stamped a sentiment from Winged Beauties and finished it off with a trio of Whip Cream buttons:

Thoughts of you 28

Hi there! Hope you are having a great week! It's time for an all new MFTWSC sketch challenge. Thanks to all who joined along with last week's sketch!

I absolutely LOVE this week's sketch because of all the layers! It's a great way to showcase MFT's Die-namics dies.

I combined a variety of Die-namics dies, a sentiment from the versatile Essential Sentiments stamp set with pretty Pion design patterned papers to create my sample:

To create the circular shape, I first die cut a piece of paper using a Die-namics Dainty Doily die then centered and adhered a Die-namics Pierced Circle die on the die cut doily then cut again to create the negative space in the doily.  I finished off the card with a pretty blossom made using Die-namics Layered Rose:

To create this card, I stamped the sweet image from the new Birdie Brown Designs Sunflower Sweetheart stamp set on the coordinating die cut piece, colored then adhered on to a double layer of Pierced Circles. I stamped a sentiment from Birdie Brown Designs Sunflower Sweetheart on a die cut piece that was made using a die from the Blueprints 3 set. The pretty patterned paper used is from the Pion design Grandma's school book collection.
