My Favorite Things - Let Your Hair Down

 

Welcome to my blog and a new project for MFT Stamps featuring 'Let Your Hair Down' which is illustrated by Tiddly Inks and one of my favourites!  I've used:-

Let Your Hair Down

Let Your Hair Down Die-namics

A2 Double Stitched Rectangles Die-namics

Diagonal Gingham 6 x 6 Paper Pad

Skinny Strips Die-namics

I started by using the Rectangles Die-namics and creating 3 panels in decreasing sizes from patterned and plain white cardstock.  With the smallest one I ink blended for sky and grass and distress with splashes of water.  Each panel was glued to the next and then to a plain white A2 panel, then to the card base and set to one side.

I stamped the images from Let Your Hair Down and coloured them with the following Copic markers:-

Skin - E33, E11, E21, E00

Hair - YR30, E55, E87

Shorts - C3, C1, C0

Top and Birds - RV06, RV04, RV02, RV10, R000

Branch - E87, E44, E43, E42, YG13, YG00

I die cut and highlighted with a white gel pen and applied to the blended background panel with dimensional foam tape.  I also stamped the sentiment on a sentiment strip and also used foam tape to apply.   Card done!

My Favorite Things - MFT & Friends Release Day!!

The brand new June release from My Favorite Things is now live so go and get shopping!!!  Oh wait!  Take a look at my card first.   This is Let Your Hair Down and it comes with Coordinating Die-namics.

To create this card which is super dimensional I first grabbed a panel of white cardstock and I used the Grassy Edges Stencil and then the Mini Cloud Edges Stencil together with Distress Inks in Stormy Sky, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.

I grabbed the A2 Stitched Rectangles STAX Die-namics and die cut the stencilled panel.   The outer cut to make it slightly smaller than A2 and the next cut to create a focal panel.

The outer cut was directly glued to my white card base and the focal panel was backed with white craft foam and carefully adhered making sure before pressing down and adhering that everything was aligned.

I also used a die-cut from the A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics and backed it with foam tape and applied that to the raised focal point.

I stamped my images from Let Your Hair Down on to Copic friendly cardstock and I used Copic markers to colour my images and I highlighted a few points using a white gel pen.  I used the die-namics to die cut the images which I backed with foam tape arranged and then adhered to the scene.

All that was left to do now was to stamp one of the 3 sentiments from the stamp set and I used a sentiment strip from Essential Stitched Sentiment Die-namics.   This strip was adhered with more foam tape so that it floated across the white frame .... and beyond!

Many thanks for stopping by my blog today and I hope to see you back here soon!  Happy crafting!
