MFT September Release Countdown--Day 5

Welcome to My Favorite Things September Release Countdown!
Today I'm sharing some cute little critters from Animal Farm.

I stamped all of the critters and several trees with MFT's Copic friendly Black 
Licorice Hybrid ink. Because of their whimsical look, I decided to do "messy"
coloring with Copic markers.

Watercolor card stock was inked with Distress inks and spattered with water.
I used an A2 Rectangle STAX to cut the panel and adhered it to a white card base.
The Animal Farm Fence was cut from Primitive Cream card stock and trimmed
to fit the panel.

I adhered all the pieces on the card and put the babies in front of the fence.
The sentiment was white embossed on Steel Grey card stock and cut with the
Essential Speech Bubble Die-namics and popped up above the trees.

Visit today's countdown post at My Favorite Things for more peeks and
inspiration, and don't forget to leave a comment there for a chance to win
a $75 prize. Thanks so much for stopping by!

CAS(E) this Sketch #237

Chrissy brings us this week's CAS(E) this Sketch.
Check out Sketch #237.
 

Here's my take on it--a simple sympathy card.

I saw "gingko leaves" when I first spied the sketch, and sadly, I needed a sympathy

card. Two leaves were ink distressed and adhered to a woodgrain embossed panel.
I spattered on a bit of pearl white paint and popped up the sentiment.

and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, September 7th.

Hope to see you in the gallery!

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #348

Meet this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #348.

And here's my take on it.

I trimmed down an ink distressed piece that was in my stash and rounded
off the corners. The little Pure Innocence girl was colored with Copics and
adhered to the piece. The sentiment was white embossed on a remnant piece,
and cut with the oval windows.

Both pieces were adhered to a Latté card base that was "embossed" with the
stitched lines on the bottom. Small white stars finished off the card.

$50 MFT gift voucher, and we hope to see you in the gallery!

CAS(E) this Sketch #236

Here's CAS(E) this Sketch #236--a little something from me.

And here's my take on it.

Yes, I flipped the bird. 😬 Only because he's facing towards the right.
The branch is a lengthened tree trunk that was adhered to an ink distressed
panel. The owl was fussy cut and popped up on the branch. A white embossed
sentiment and small silver stars finished off the card.

with and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, August 31st
and as the winner, you could be joining us on a future sketch!

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #347

 It's Wednesday--time for a new MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge!

Here's Sketch #347.

And here's my take on it.

A Stitched Dome Frame was cut from Smooth White card stock. The inner portion

was ink distressed with Distress Oxide inks and spattered with water. A large 

butterfly was cut from white card stock and ink distressed with two colors of

Distress Oxide inks and spattered with water.

A strip of gray and white striped paper was adhered to a Grout Gray card base and the

dome frame was adhered over it. The butterfly was adhered inside the frame, 

together with a few sequins. The sentiment finished off the card.

MFT gift voucher as the random winner of the challenge!

A Birdie Brown Revisit--Witch Way is the Candy?

Birdie Brown brings back a Halloween favorite--Witch Way is the Candy?

The images have been tweaked and the set has brand new sentiments

in Birdie Brown's trademark font. 

I missed getting this set before it was retired, so I'm happy to see a revival--

just in time for Halloween! Today I'm sharing two cards with this set.

The little witch was stamped and colored with Copics, then cut with the matching

Die-namics. White dots were added to her dress with a Gelly Roll pen. Smaller 

images in the set were stamped with Grout Gray ink on a white card base.

 

I adhered the sentiment strip and the witch was popped up over it with

dimensional adhesive. Glittery gold enamel dots finished off the card.

My second card uses the smaller images in the set. The three images were stamped
and colored with Copic markers, then cut with the matching Die-namics. A top
folding, Smooth White card base was covered with patterned paper and set aside.

The Stitched Peek-a-Boo Windows and Edge were cut from white card stock

and the inside portion of the windows were ink distressed. All pieces were adhered

to the card and the critters were popped up inside each window. The card was

finished off with the white embossed sentiment and a few sequins.

Both the X's and O's Card Kit and Witch Way is the Candy? will go on sale tomorrow,
August 22nd at 9PM EST in the MFT Store!

MFT August Card Kit--X's and O's

If you liked and bought MFT's Amaze-ing Card Kit, then you'll LOVE this month's kit--

X's and O's with a super fun Tic-Tac-Toe theme! Here's a peek at the kit. 

Visit today's post at My Favorite Things for a detailed look at the kit's contents.

I made a quick, one layer card using the stamp set from the kit.

The tic-tac-toe grid was white embossed several times on watercolor card stock,
then ink distressed with pink and red Distress inks--the same colors found in the kit.
The x's, o's, and hearts were stamped randomly inside the grid, using black ink.

The sentiment was white embossed on a strip of black card stock and cut out with
a banner die. The banner was adhered to the card and finished off with enamel dots.

Visit today's post at My Favorite Things for peeks at the Card Kit and more!
This fantastic kit will go on sale Tuesday, August 22nd at 9PM EST
in the MFT Store!

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #346

Are you ready for this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge?
Here's Sketch #346.

And here's how I interpreted the sketch.

I pretty much followed the sketch, and substituted the little reader from Our Story
for the circle element. The image was grounded with the sentiment on a strip,
and the card was finished off with enamel dots.
