MFT September Release Countdown--Day 2



It's just two days until the September Release at My Favorite Things!
Today I'm sharing a card with a soda pop theme with stamps and dies designed
by the incredibly talented Laina Lamb.


I die cut several soda bottles from watercolor paper and smooshed the tops with
a combination of dye and Distress inks. After they were dried, I spattered them
with white paint and adhered them onto a stitched rectangle panel.


The punny sentiment was white embossed onto a strip of black card stock,
trimmed to a banner, and adhered to the panel. The panel was adhered to a Grout Gray
card base and the card was finished off with clear sequins.

Visit today's countdown post at My Favorite Things for links to participating
designers and leave a comment there for your chance to win a $75 prize!
Thanks for stopping by today!

    You are the master of color and balance. I struggle with feeling like things aren't finished enough, and then I see your work and just wonder at how you make it look easy to create and then leave it alone, allowing the elements to shine on their own.

      Thank you for your kind comments! Truthfully, I think I added a few more sequins (for a total of 9) but didn't edit the photo. :)
