CAS(E) this Sketch 178


Are you ready for the next sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch?
N@ Ali brings us the simplest sketch with so many possibilities!
Meet Sketch #178.


Here's my take on it, and yes, another little pig makes an appearance.


A piece of gray gingham was cut with the rectangle element from
Blueprints 24 and adhered to a top folding Stone Gray card. The little pig
was stamped with Bubble Gum Hybrid Ink and colored with Copics.

I die cut an oval shadow and adhered it to the card to ground the pig.
I added a couple of flowers and stamped the sentiment under him.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how the rest of my teammates interpreted
the sketch and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, June 30th
and you could be guest designing with us on a future sketch!

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #286


It's time for a new Wednesday Sketch Challenge at My Favorite Things.
Here's Sketch #286.


And here's my take on it. I couldn't resist the backside of Birdie Brown's adorable
little piggy! A sheet of gray chevron paper was cut with the rectangle element from
Blueprints 24 and adhered to a white card base.


I adhered the farm fence and added a strip of grass over it. The little pig was stamped with
Bubble Gum Hybrid ink and colored with Copics, then diecut with the matching dies.
I colored and cut some flowers and popped them up over the fence and grass and
finished off with the punny sentiment.

MFT June Card Kit Release Day


Today's the day! You may now purchase My Favorite Things June Card Kit,
Make a Wish, in the MFT Store!



I have one more card to share using this fun kit and of course, I had to use
one of my favorite coloring techniques--ink distressing.


  The candles and sentiment were white embossed on watercolor
card stock, and the flames were embossed separately to get them as close
together as possible. A combination of Distress and MFT's dye inks were
blended over the embossed images, then spattered with water.


I adhered a strip of diagonal stripes on the card base, and trimmed the panel to fit.
The card was finished off with some clear sequins.

Remember to leave comments on all the participating designers' blogs by
Thursday, June 23rd for a chance to win a $50 MFT gift voucher!
Thanks for stopping by during the countdown, and happy shopping!

MFT June Card Kit Release Day 2




Welcome to Day 2 of My Favorite Things June Card Kit Release!
Today we're sharing "out of the box" projects, using MFT supplies that we have on hand.



I die cut scraps of older patterned papers and lined them up haphazardly on a card.
Using a dauber, I added the candles' glow above each of the candles, then added the
flames that were cut from Lemon Drop card stock with the little heart die.


I added a strip of black diagonal stripes on the bottom and finished off with
the sentiment. And although you can't see it from the photo, I added a bit of
clear Wink of Stella to each of the flames for a brighter glow and highlights
with a White Pearl Kirarina pen.

Visit today's post at My Favorite Things for more inspiration from the
participating design team members. The Make a Wish Card Kit goes on sale
tomorrow, June 21st at 10PM EST in the MFT Store!
