My Favorite Things - November Slimline Challenge

 

Time for a new Slimline Challenge for MFT Stamps.   Mini slimline cards provide a great alternative to the length of a full slimline card while still offering different proportions from a traditional A2 card. Here's the fun part — this month, there's no theme or technique requirement. Push yourself to play with the 3" by 6" size using any products, themes, or techniques in your arsenal.

My inspiration card uses the following products:-

Holiday Hello Stamps

Holiday Hello Die-namics

Skinny Strips Die-namics

I love creating snowstorm backgrounds and for this one I ink blended a mini slimline panel using Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks.  I then splashed the ink generously with water and then mixed some white acrylic paint with a drop or two of water and tapped it off the end of a little paintbrush onto my project until I had the desired affect.

I stamped the images from Holiday Hello with Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and coloured them with Copic markers:-

Santa - R89, R39, R29, C3, C1, C0, C00, T5, T4, T3, E04, E11, E21, E00

Reindeer - E44, E31, E41, C3, C1, C00, R89, B99

Picket Fence - B91, BG70, W1

Parcels - E31, W3, W2

Mailbox - T5, T4, T3, T2, R89, E44, E43, E42

Fir Trees - B99, BG70

All images were die cut then added with a single or double layer of dimensional foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment on a Skinny Strip and applied with foam tape and finally I added more splashes of the white acrylic paint over all of the die cut images avoiding some key facial features by covering them with a tiny piece of post it tap whilst I splashed.

My Favorite Things - October Release - Countdown Day 5

 

It's Countdown Day 5 to the MFT Stamps October release which you can buy on October 11th and 10am Eastern.   My first card of the countdown features the latest illustrated set by Stacey Yacula.

Products Used:-

Holiday Hello Stamps

Holiday Hello Die-namics

Essential Stitched Sentiment Die-namics

This is a mini slimline card.  I created a red panel and adhered it to the card base, then created a second slightly smaller white panel which I ink blended with a little Speckle Egg Distress Oxide ink and then adhered to the red panel.

I stamped and coloured the images from Holiday Hello and these are the Copic marker combinations I used:-

Red - R39, R29, R27, R24

White - C5, C3, C1, C00

Black - T6, T4, T3

Skin - E55, E11, E21, E00

Reindeer - E44 E57, E34, E33, E41, C1, C00

Images were die cut and applied to the scene with foam tape and then I had great fun using a stylus to dot in white acrylic paint for the snow.  The sentiment was stamped on a sentiment strip and applied with more foam tape and the card was finished!
