MFT June Release Countdown Day 4


Welcome to Day 4 of My Favorite Things June Release Countdown!

Are you ready for this month's Birdie Brown cuteness? It's Party Like a Pirate,
a set of lil' swashbucklers and friends, ready to build your treasure island!


I used the frame element from Blueprints 29 and cut a panel from woodgrain
card stock. The outer frame was inked with brown Distress inks, and the inside
pieces were inked with Distress Oxide inks, then spattered with water.


The images were stamped and colored with Copics, then adhered on the frame.
A stamped sentiment and enamel dots finished off the card.

MFT June Release Countdown Day 5


Welcome to My Favorite Things June Release Countdown!

Day 5 starts off with COLOR in the form of drops--Color Drops, to be exact.
This set of stamps and STAX Die-namics will have you creating endless patterns
and designs on projects for almost any occasion.


For my card, I die cut six drops from watercolor card stock and ink distressed
them in rainbow order, with two colors per drop. I prepared a white card base
and added a strip of patterned paper on the side for a bit of interest.



The drops were arranged to form a flower and I added a sentiment from
Gumball Greetings, then finished off the card with some clear sequins.

CAS(E) this Sketch #224


Meet this week's CAS(E) this Sketch #224, compliments of Hannelie.


And here's my take on it.


While going through my supplies, I spied Memory Box (sadly, discontinued)
 Cups of Cheer and thought they'd fit perfectly for the sketch. They were cut
from watercolor card stock and inked with Distress inks and spattered with
water. The coffee/tea portion in the cup was colored with Copics.

A grid pattern was stenciled on the card base and a strip of patterned paper
was adhered to the side. The cups were adhered to the card, together with
a white embossed sentiment. Enamel dots finished off the card.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see what the rest of the team came up with
and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, June 8th and
as the winner, you could be guest designing with us!
