MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge 246

Today I'm joining MFT's Wednesday Sketch Challenge 246.

Here's my take on it.

 

I clear embossed Abstract Background on watercolor card stock and smooshed 

several colors of Distress inks over it. The piece was die cut with a circle die and 

mounted to a Grout Gray card base, stamped with the Abstract Background in the 

same colored ink for a tone on tone look.

The sentiment was made with Label Maker sentiments and the card was
finished off with some silver stars.

Celebrating Cath Edvalson & Technique Tuesday

Welcome to a very special blog hop, with a collaboration between Technique Tuesday
and Cath Edvalson, featuring her awesome new line of stamps and dies.

I am super thrilled to be a part of this celebration...let's get hoppin'!

I hope you arrived here from Jaclyn Miller's fab blog, or start at the beginning
at Technique Tuesday, because you won't want to miss the inspiration--
and there are prizes for commenting! I'll explain about the prizes
a little further down but first, let me share my project with you.

If you didn't know this little fact about Cath--she's an extraordinary paper cutter.
We're not talkin' paper dolls, but serious, mind blowing paper cutting. Check this out.

Pretty amazing, huh? That design was the inspiration for Heartfelt Thanks,
a set that features a stamp of Cath's gorgeous hand cut heart. Here's my card.

I white embossed the heart on watercolor card stock and ink distressed with
several inks to make the design pop, then flicked some water over the surface.

The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossed,
then the panel was cut with the rectangle element from MFT's Blueprints 24
and adhered to a white card base. The finishing touch was a sprinkling of sequins.

So let's talk PRIZES! Technique Tuesday is giving away three prize packs.
The first prize is all 5 of Cath's stamps and dies, and Technique Tuesday is also

MFT + Simon Says Stamp = a STAMPtember® Exclusive

A fun collaboration is happening between Simon Says Stamp and My Favorite Things
with an exclusive stamp set designed just for STAMPtember®.

Check out this amazing, must have stamp set, Thanks for Being There. I love the 

brush stroke thanks and unique phrases that go with them.

I couldn't wait to use the new sentiments, and made a card using products
from MFT's September release--Fall Florals and the English Brick Wall stencil.

I lightly stenciled Grout Gray card stock with the brick pattern in abstract

fashion, then die cut the panel with the rectangle element from Blueprints 25.

I die cut some flowers and leaves from watercolor card stock and inked up

the matching images with Zig markers. After spritzing them with water,

I stamped them on the die cuts, and assembled them on the card.
I finished off the card with the sentiment and a sprinkling of sequins.

For more inspiration using this exclusive stamp set, visit Simon Says Stamp 
for links to other designers' projects and get your set here before
 STAMPtember® ends! Thanks for stopping by!
