My Favorite Things - Wednesday Sketch Challenge - WSC591

Well a warm welcome to this new Wednesday Sketch Challenge (WSC591) for MFT Stamps.   I have a created and am sharing an inspiration card working off the sketch which you will find immediately below followed by some details about how this card was made.

First of all I used the Scene Builder stamp set illustrated by Stacey Yacula, stamping the hills and then straightening out the grass image on my stamping block and repeat stamp from edge to edge twice to form the lines at the bottom.

I ink blended the sky with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink  and then used Copic colours to colour the rest of the background.  Here are those colours:-

Greens - YG45, YG13, YG03, YG01, YG000

Flowers - R22, R21

I die cut the panel using A2 Stitched Rectangles Stax (Set 1) and backed it with white craft foam and adhered it to an A2 panel of white card stock that I then attached to my card base.

I stamped the hugging foxes image from the Hugs Make Everything Better stamp set and coloured this with the following colours:-

E99, E97, E13, E11, T3, T2, T1, T0, R21, R20, R00

I highlighted a few areas with a white gel pen then die cut with the coordinating dies and applying the image to the scene with dimensional foam tape.

I used the Skinny Strips Die-namics to create a sentiment strip and stamped the sentiment and this too was applied with foam tape.

I chose not to embellish these scene other than to use white and pink gel pens to dot in some small flowers throughout the grass.

I wish you lots of luck with your challenge entries.

My Favorite Things - Countdown Day 4

Thank you for coming by my blog today, you picked a good day because this is Countdown Day 4 of the 5 day countdown to the My Favorite Things April release which you can buy April 13th.   Read on for the how-to on this card.

To kick it off I used the brand new Watercolor Wash stencil and I ink blended using Distress Inks to create the suggestion of grass and sky.   I've fallen hard in love with this stencil and all of the possibilities of it!  I then removed the stencil and ink blended a little more using the same Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feathers to create a focal point.

I die cut using the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX.  I backed the centre portion with dimensional foam tape and adhered both pieces to a panel of white cardstock.

I stamped the images from the beautiful new stamp set illustrated by Stacey Yacula called Hugs Make Everything Better.  I coloured them with Copic markers, die cut with the coordinating Die-namics, backed them with foam tape and applied to the scene.  I added a few white gel pen accents to make the pop!

I used a die cut from the Outside the Box Grass Die-namics and ink blended it, stamped the sentiment (there's some super sweet sentiments in this stamp set) and added some 'daisies' with a white gel pen.   These die cuts fit perfectly across an A2 card giving the look of a wrap around without actually wrapping around, just a happy accident!   This piece was applied with some more foam tape.

To finish up I attached two Petite Cloud Die-namics and a few sparkling clear sequin accents.

I hope you love the card and that your excitement is building for the new release.   You can find me here again tomorrow with a new card reveal for the release.  Hope to see you then, happy crafting!
