MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge 256

I'm popping in to share a card for MFT's Wednesday Sketch Challenge 256

because......feathers. Here's the sketch.
 

 

And here's my take on it. Yep, I went uber literal with MFT's feather dies.
Originally, I had five colored feathers but decided at the last minute to use
Grout Gray card stock for two of the feathers for a bit of interest.

I started off scribbling some Peerless Watercolors on watercolor card stock

and die cut the feathers after the card was dry. I spattered some white ink

over the feathers and let them dry a second time.

A Grout Gray panel was cut from Blueprints 24, and I adhered all of the

feathers and popped up the label sentiment. The panel was then adhered
to a black card base, and finished off with a few enamel dots.

I'd like to wish those who celebrate the holiday, a very Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm super thankful for your blog visits, sweet comments and emails ♥

25 Days of Christmas Tags

 I'm entering Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags just under the wire

 with a tag using some older stamps from My Favorite Things.

I was inspired by Michelle Short's tag here, and the colors she used on her

tag's background. But I think I went a little heavy handed with the ink blending. 

For the tag, I die cut the small card element from Blueprints 14 from 

watercolor card stock and ink distressed with several colors of dye inks.

I spattered a little water over the surface and added the snowy bank.

After the surface was dried, I white embossed the sentiment. The bear 

was colored with Copics and fussy cut, then adhered to the card with 

dimensional tape and finished off with some licorice twine.

I'm off to peruse the gallery--there's so much tag-alicious inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by, and congrats to Tracey on another successful year!

MFT November Die-namics Design

 'TIS THE SEASON FOR TAGS 

Christmas is just around the corner and it's time to embellish your packages 

with tags accented with our extensive collection of holiday-appropriate Die-namics. 

My Favorite Things has the tools, and our team is bringing the imagination!

For my tags, I used the new Cement Gray card stock and die cut some
stitched edge tags. They were stamped with the Diagonal Stripes Background
in the same ink for a tone on tone look. The sentiment was heat embossed
with silver embossing powder and I kept the design simple by adding
a few snowflakes in different sizes.

The tags were finished off with some silver sequins and sheer silver ribbon.
These tags could be tied onto a gift or adhered to a card base for a quick,
last minute card. Tags are so versatile!

CAS(E) this Sketch 150

CAS(E) this Sketch 150 is brought to you by N@ Ali and it's a two weeker.

You'll have two weeks to enter instead of the usual one week, so we can all

enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday...and Black Friday shopping!

And here's my take on it.

I found these spare leaves in my stash of die cuts and adhered them
to a card base, stamped the sentiment, then added a few enamel dots.
I rounded off one corner for a bit of interest and the card was done.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how my teammates interpreted the sketch
and join us if you can. Remember that you have two weeks to enter--
the deadline is Thursday, December 3rd.

Thanks for stopping by and we hope to see you in the gallery!

MFT November Creative Challenge

Red and green are beautiful and traditional colors but also, a bit predictable 

this time of year. This month, the design team was challenged to think outside 

the box by applying non-traditional color schemes to our Christmas crafting. 

For my card, I went in a contemporary direction and paired gold with brown.
 

Snowflakes and the sentiment were gold embossed on brown card stock
and a panel was die cut with the rectangle element from Blueprints 24.

 

The panel was adhered to a brown card base with dimensional foam and 

finished off with a sprinkling of shiny gold sequins.

Stop by the MFT blog for links to other designers who took on
this month's Creative Challenge. I hope that you're inspired to use
non traditional colors on your holiday cards and projects!
