My Favorite Things - February Release Spotlight Day!

Today at MFT Stamps we're taking one last opportunity to spotlight the February release products which are now available for you to purchase.  Here's what I've used to make this card:-

Headed For The Stars Stamps & Die Duo

Rolling Clouds Stencil

I took a white panel of cardstock A2 size and I used MFT's Cornflower Ink and the Rolling Clouds stencil and starting from the bottom of the cardstock and building upwards, I ink blended the sky background.  I popped this panel in my Misti and double stamped the sentiment for a nice crisp image.   This panel was then backed with a panel of white craft foam and glued to a slightly larger white panel then to the card base.  This will fit nicely into an A6 envelope.

Using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa I stamped the images I'd be needing from the new stamp set and I coloured using the following Copic marker combinations:-

Elephant - T4, T3, T2, T1, T0, C00, R22, R21, R00

Clouds - B41 B91, BG70

Red - R27, R24, R05

Yellow - Y19, Y15, Y13

Blue - B04, B41, B91

Basket - E44, E31, E42, E41

I highlighted points with a white gel pen and then die cut using the coordinating dies.

To build some nice dimension I used both single and double layers of dimensional foam tape behind the different elements and adhered them to the background scene.  As you can see from my angled photos it really makes them look like they're floating but just be sure that your tape pieces are small enough that they are hard to see from the sides.  Card complete!

My Favorite Things - Color Challenge - CC191

A warm welcome to a brand new Color Challenge #CC191 at My Favorite Things.   This is my inspiration card for the paint palette shown directly beneath it, read on for all the details.

This card uses the following MFT products:-

Happy Hippos Stamps

Happy Hippos Die-namics

Rolling Clouds Stencil

A2 Stitched Rectangles Stax Set 2 Die-namics

I stencil ink blended the clouds using Distress Oxide Ink in Salvaged Patina.  I backed the panel with white craft foam and adhered it to an A2 white panel and then to the card base.   I layered over a white panel with the sentiment stamped on it which I also prepared with the same die as for the cloud panel, this was popped up on dimensional foam tape.

I stamped the images from Happy Hippos and coloured them with the following Copic markers:-

Hippo - T4, T3, T2, T1, T0

Blushes - R21, R20, R00

Darker Teal Combination - BG34, BG32, G00, G000

Lighter Teal Combination - G00, G000, G0000

A white gel pen was used to highlight a few areas and then images were die cut and applied with foam tape.
