My Favorite Things - Wednesday Sketch Challenge - WSC643

 

Hello and welcome to a new Wednesday Sketch Challenge for MFT Stamps!  This is WSC643 and that's the sketch (above) that you are working with this week to inspire your own creation to enter the challenge for a chance to win a gift voucher.  Full details for challenge entries can be found on the MFT site.

Here's what I've used in the making of my inspiration card:-

Island Shell-ebration

Island Shell-ebration Die-namics

A2 Stitched Rectangles Stax Set 2 Die-namics

Pretty In Plaid 6 x 6 Paper Pad

Skinny Strips Die-namics

Watercolor Wash Free Form Stencil

Watercolor Wash Rectangle Stencil

To kick things off I was inspired by the sketch to use the two stencils to form the 3 'water ripples'.  I used Summer Splash Ink to blend.  I then used the Stax Die-namics to scale down the A2 panel which I backed with white craft foam and adhered to an A2 pattern panel from the pad, then to my card base.

I stamped the images I was going to need from Island Shell-ebration and coloured them with the following Copic markers:-

Sand - E95, E42, YR61, YR00, E0000

Palm Tree - E87, E44, E55, E42, G28, YG67, YG13, YG01

Coconut Cocktail - E87, E44, E42, E41, E40

Blue Crab - FB2, B93, B91, RV06, FRV1, RV21

Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and then I die cut using the coordinating die-namics and applied to the scene using dimensional foam tape.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment on a Skinny Strip and applied that with foam tape and last but not least I applied some water droplet style embellishments  to complete this simple but fun card.

My Favorite Things - March Release Day

Hello friends!   The MFT Stamps new March release is now available for purchase and to celebrate I have made this card featuring Island Shell-ebration illustrated by MFT's newest illustrator Yuzu otherwise known as our own Design Team member Yan Au who goes by @yanxdiy on Instagram.  So much excitement for what it to come from Yan.

To create this card I first used Copic markers and hand coloured the sun and sea background .... not within my comfort zone but I did it anyway lol!   Here are my colours:-

Sea -  B24, BG53, BG23, G000

Sky -  G000, BG000, BG0000, BG70

Clouds -  W00, C00

I used a white gel pen to add some interest to the water and then die cut the panel using A2 Stitched Rectangles Stax Die-namics (Set 1).   I backed this panel with craft foam and applied it to an A2 white panel which in turn was attached to my card base.

I stamped the images I was using from Island Shell-ebration and coloured them with these Copic markers:-

Sandy island - E43, E42, E50, E0000, E95, E00

Palm tree - E44, E43, E42, E50, G16, YG17, YG03

Surf board - RV55, RV04, RV02, Y38, Y15, Y06, YR07, YR04

Coconut cocktail -  E44, E43, E42, E0000

Crab - YR82, E95, E00, B12, B41, W3, W1

Images were die cut using the coordinating die-namics and a few white highlights added, they were adhered with dimensional foam tape.

To finish up the sentiment was stamped on a strip and applied with foam tape and a few sparkling clear sequins were added to finish the scene.
