My Favorite Things - Color Challenge 168

There's a brand new Color Challenge at My Favorite Things starting today and this is my inspiration card which I hope will tempt you to enter your own challenge entry for a chance to win a $50 gift voucher.  My card uses the new 'Flutterby Friends' stamp set.

To create my card I ink blended a panel of cardstock using Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Inks.  The lighter of the two pinks created a subtle focus.   I uses white acrylic paint to splash up the background and over the top I layered a grass portion created by die cutting with the Grassy Hills Die-namics  and then ink blending using Distress Oxides in Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness.

I used the A2 Rectangles Frames Die-namics to die cut a piece of white cardstock to create the frame which I backed with foam tape and applied.

I placed the framed panel in my Misti and doubly stamped the sentiment from Flutterby Friends and then this was set aside for a few minutes.

On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped my images from Flutterby Friends and coloured them with Copic markers, the coordinating die-namics were used to die cut the images which I then backed with dimensional foam tape and applied to the scene.

Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and the the little girl's butterfly wings and the butterflies were glittered.

The panel was applied to my card base and the card was then complete.

I hope you join the challenge!

My Favorite Things - May Countdown Day 2

So grateful for you coming by my blog today on this Countdown Day 2 to the My Favorite Things March 4th release at 10am.   Today I have a card featuring the brand new Let's Work Together stamp set which has coordinating Die-namics.

To create my card I used the Grassy Hills Die-namics and white A2 panels and die cut four grassy edges.  I ink blended those edges using Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink and I took another full-size panel of white cardstock for the background and ink blended the sky using first Peacock Feathers and then Chipped Sapphire for a deep teal look.  Now I was able to adhere my grassy hills, the largest one I glued directly the next was applied with foam tape, the 3rd directly again and finally the small one at the base with foam tape.  This is one super chunky card!

On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped the images from Let's Work Together and I used Copic markers to colour these sweet images.   My card uses all of the images from the stamp set.  The coordinating Die-namics were used to die cut each image which I highlighted with a white gel pen and then I used foam tape to adhere them into place.

To complete the card I stamped the sentiment onto strips of cardstock from the Skinny Strips Sentiment Die-namics and applied them with foam tape and I used a teal gel pen to add touches of interest.
