My Favorite Things - Color Challenge 166

Hello and welcome to a brand new Color Challenge 166 for My Favorite Things.   Are you up to the challenge and looking to win a $50 gift voucher?  Read on!

This is a mini-slim card with finished dimensions of 6 inches x 3 1/2 inches.   I created a panel and masked off a good portion of it and then used the Slimline Cloud Edges stencil and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink to create the sky.  I then used an old toothbrush and more of the ink loosened with a little water to spritz over the area randomly.   The mask was removed.

I stamped a couple of the images from High-Flying Adventure on to Copic friendly cardstock and I coloured the images to fit the challenge colours.

Points were highlighted with a white gel pen, images were die cut using the coordinating die-namics and then they were backed with foam tape and applied to the background.

To complete the card I stamped the sentiment from Banner Day Sentiments on to a 'flag' from Banner Flag Die-namics, backed this with foam tape and applied.  I also die cut some of the sweet little clouds included in the High-Flying Adventure set and arranged them and adhered with more foam tape.

A few sparkling clear sequins completed the card and the panel was attached to a white cardstock card base.

Good luck with your entry for the Challenge!

My Favorite Things - Outside the Box Challenge - Birthdays

 

Hello and welcome to my blog on this Outside the Box Challenge day for My Favorite Things.   There's a new challenge and I'm so in love with the High-Flying Adventures stamp set with coordinating Die-namics that I thought I'd use them again in a somewhat masculine card, albeit with the all the cuteness you might expect.   The theme this month is 'birthdays'.

I created my card foundation using Tropical Teal Prestige cardstock and the Outside The Box Die-namics.  For the decorative outer pieces I used a sheet of Party Plaid 6 x 6 Paper Pad.   For the clouds I used the Outside The Box Cloud Die-namics.   I cut 5 of these and then assembled the box card.

I stamped the sentiment from Magical Dragons with Versamark Ink using the Stitched Sentiment Strips and heat embossed in white. I applied the sentiment strip to the front of the box card.

The High Flying Adventures images were stamped and Copic coloured, die cut using the coordinating Die-namics.   They and the little die cut clouds from the same set were attached using the connective pieces included in the Outside The Box Die-namics set.   Finally a few toning sequins completed this birthday card.

My Favorite Things - Countdown to March Release

Hello!   Today I'm revealing a new card for My Favorite Things featuring stamps and die-namics from the March 16th new release.   This card features High Flying Adventure stamps and coordinating Die-namics together with the Pop-Up Banner Die-namics.

To create this card I first used the Micro Cloud Edges Stencil and Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar to create the soft background cloud panel which was trimmed slightly smaller than A2.   I stamped the sentiment and backed the panel with white craft foam and applied it to a white A2 panel which in turn was adhered to my card base.

I stamped out my High Flying Adventure images and coloured them with Copic markers B41, B91, B93, W4, W3 and W2 for the planes.  Also R00, R20, R21.   Bunnies are E42, E51, E30 and YR000.  Cheeks R00 and R20.   Points were highlighted with a white gel pen before die cutting.

I backed most pieces with foam tape and applied or otherwise glued directly in order to play with a bit of dimension.

I die cut the Pop-Up Banner and used the same Copic colours to colour up the bunting and a gel pen again to add highlights and patterns.   I glued the pieces together and then glued the bunting to the top of my card where I'd allowed space.

A few of the cute puffy clouds were adhered and sequins applied for a touch of sparkle.

Hope you're excited for this release and I wish you some happy crafting time!  Be sure to check out the MFT blog to see the creations of the rest of the Design Team and comment each day for the opportunity to win a $75 gift card to the shop.  Best of luck!
