MFT May Release Countdown--Day 5


Are you ready for My Favorite Things May Release Countdown? And, check out
the snazzy new Countdown graphics by Laina Lamb. So.cool!

This month's release is filled with summertime goodness! Day 5 starts off with
Beach Scene Builder Die-namics, and being born and bred in Hawaii, I couldn't
wait to put together this tropical scene.


I used every die in the set and cut the pieces out of colored or watercolor
card stock then ink distressed them with Distress Oxide inks. I adhered
all the pieces to build my tropical scene, and stamped the waves in the ocean.

I chose a simple sentiment made with a lower case alpha set and finished off the
card with a frame. And see that long, low cloud? It was designed as an island but
since this is "my" scene, I turned it into a cloud.

Visit today's countdown post at My Favorite Things for more inspiration and peeks
at the May release. And be sure to leave a comment there for a chance to win a
$75 prize. Thanks for stopping by today!




CAS(E) this Sketch #219


Teammie Jen brings us CAS(E) this Sketch #219.


Oooh, I love a simple sketch! Here's my take on it.


Why yes, there's been a flurry of butterflies on my cards lately. Truth is, I have a ton
of butterflies ink distressed and waiting to flutter onto a card. Whimsical Woodgrain
was stamped on a Stone Gray card base, and the sentiment banner and butterfly
were adhered over it. Done!

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how the rest of the design team interpreted the
sketch and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, May 4th and
as the winner you could be our next guest designer!

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #330



Here's this week's Wednesday Sketch Challenge #330.


And here's how I interpreted the sketch.


The circle element was replaced with a butterfly. I added a strip of
patterned paper, and stamped the sentiment on a label tag. Enamel dots
finished off the card.

Visit the Card Challenges blog for more inspiration, and for all the details
on the challenge. The random winner will receive up to a $20 MFT voucher!
Hope to see you in the gallery!
