MFT January Release Countdown--Day 2



It's just two more days until My Favorite Things January Release!
Have you got your wish lists ready?

Today I'll be sharing two cards. The first features Diamond Die-namics, a set
of gemstone dies in three sizes. I chose the largest diamond and die cut vellum
from the solid die, and the outline from gold glitter card stock.


I wet a piece of watercolor card stock with water, then scribbled some
Zig markers over it to create a rainbow background. The panel was cut with
the new Wonky Stitched Rectangle die, and I adhered the diamond and sequins
after it was dried.


The sentiment was white embossed on a black banner stripand adhered to the panel.
The panel was then adhered to a Grout Gray card base.

Next up is a Valentine for that science geek on your list. Undeniable Chemistry
features protons, neutrons, atoms, and assorted molecules that I white embossed
on watercolor card stock, then ink distressed with Distress inks and spattered with H2O.


After the piece was dried, I die cut the panel with the rectangle element from
Blueprints 24. The sentiment was white embossed on a black banner and stapled
to the panel. I finished off the card with a few black hearts.


Did you know that MFT is now carrying mini Distress ink kits? Check out
the Specialty Inks section in the MFT Store to see the selection of kits, as well
