More Starry Night Card Kit Inspiration

Are you ready for more project ideas using MFT's Starry Night Card Kit?
Today I'm sharing a card using products from the kit together with other products
that you may already own.

I smooshed some Chipped Sapphire Distress inks onto a craft mat, sprayed it with
water, then lay down watercolor card stock. When it was dried, I added more color
with an ink blending tool to give dimension to the sky.

I diecut the Starry Night Vertical Die-namics and adhered it to a white card base.
The little trick-or-treater was popped up on the card, and the sentiment was
stamped beside her.

I stamped a few bats in the sky and decided to finish off the card with a

big, bright moon.

MFT Starry Night Card Kit--Day 1

Meet MFT's newest Card Kit--Starry Night--which goes on sale Tuesday,
September 17th at 10AM EST in the MFT Store.

Here's a peek at the Starry Night Card Kit. Visit the MFT blog for a detailed description

of the kit's contents. Note that all supplies used that are part of the kit are designated

in boldface type.

Do you spy more Ken Oliver Color Burst powders? There are three bottles in 

the kit with colors that coordinate with MFT's card stock colors--how cool is that?

For today's project, I used the powders as watercolor and mixed a small amount

with some water to "paint" it on watercolor card stock.

Before painting, I gold embossed the sentiment, which acts as a resist when
the panel was painted. I spattered some water and let the panel dry,

Our Town Die-namics was adhered to the panel, then small stars from the
Starry Night Vertical Die-namics were cut from glitter card stock and
adhered to the card.

CAS(E) this Sketch #339

Are you ready to play along with CAS(E) this Sketch?

Here's this week's Sketch #339 courtesy of Chrissy,

And here's my take on it.

I substituted a leaf for the corner image and stamped both the card base

and square with a woodgrain design. I stamped the sentiment and popped

up the square on the card base.

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #454

Here's this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #454.

And here's my take on it.

Using some Purple tape, I eyeballed seven sections and inked warm, sunny

colors in ombré fashion in each space. I spattered water on the bottom portion
to further fade off the color.

I adhered the panel to a kraft card base, then stamped the sentiment with
brown ink on a kraft card strip and adhered it per the sketch. Five sequins
in coordinating colors finished off the card.

CASology Week #351--LOL

It's been a while since I've joined a CASology challenge, and this week's

cue card caught my attention.

It has certainly been a rough few weeks worldwide, with Mother Nature wreaking
havoc and personally, I'm better understanding "global warming" with our record
breaking local temperatures soaring in the 90's 😎. Not much to laugh about.

So here's my take on the cue word.

I love this Birdie Brown penguin and try to find any excuse to use him. I
stamped and colored him, then stamped the sentiment underneath. He looked
a little too plain, so a Copic marker outline saved the day.

I hope this made you laugh, or maybe brought you a smile 😄.
Thanks for stopping by!

ETA: My card was chosen as the winner for Week #351! Thank you, CASology!

CAS(E) this Sketch #338

It's a retro sketch for CAS(E) this Sketch #338. Who remembers this one?

Here's my take om it back in 2013.

And here's my 2019 take on it.

I chose three leaves and ink distressed them in autumnal colors. They were
stacked and adhered to a white card base and finished off with the sentiment.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how the rest of the team interpreted the sketch
and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, September 12th

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #453

It's Wednesday, time for a new MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge.
Here's Sketch #453.

And here's how I interpreted the sketch.

I substituted a mug of hot cocoa (with whipped cream!) for the circle element.
A piece of kraft card stock was stamped with the Knitted Sweater Background
stamp and adhered to a white card base.

Two strips of red and white diagonal striped paper were adhered to the
card per the sketch. The cocoa mug was popped up on the card and finished
off with the white embossed sentiment strip.

MFT September 2019 Release and MFT & Friends

It's time! You may now purchase MFT's September Release in the MFT Store!
All new goodies are waiting for you here.

It's also time for MFT & Friends when the Creative Team--and friends--share new
ideas and more inspiration with the September Release!

I chose Floral Focus for my project and this time I used the entire image. I stamped

it with Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear embossed it, then colored it with Zig 

markers and a water brush.

I used the negative space of the Skinny Stripes Horizontal Die-namics as a holder for

the blooms. I popped it up on a Grout Gray card base, then tucked in the flowers. 

The set has several sentiments in a gorgeous font, but I decided to use one from
the Bitty Thanks & Gratitude set. I white embossed it on dark gray card stock
and cut it out with skinny strips Die-namics. Clear sequins finished off the card.

Okay, off you go! And today's the day when you visit all participating Team members'
blogs and leave a comment by Thursday, September 5th for a chance to win one of two
$100 MFT gift vouchers. Thanks so much for stopping by during the countdown and
happy shopping!

Coffee Date Soon?--One Day Until MFT's September Release

It's the final day of MFT's September Release Countdown! All new goodies

will go on sale tomorrow, September 3rd at 10AM EST in the MFT Store.

 Do you like the look of "spatter" on your cards but don't want to fuss with a
brush and the mess? Then you'll love the Brush Spatter Background Stamp!

I created two more cups with knitted cozies and placed them temporarily
on my card to decide where I wanted the spatter. After cutting the panel with
the wonky stitched rectangle die, I placed it in the Misti and inked up only
a portion of the stamp before stamping it on the panel.

I adhered the two cups and added the white embossed sentiment from Cup of 
Love then adhered the panel to a Cement Gray card base. The spatter stamp is 
rather large but versatile because you can ink up only a portion of the stamp 
to suit your needs. 

Stop by the MFT blog for more peeks at the new Release and don't forget to 
leave a comment there for a chance to win a $75 prize. And stop by
tomorrow for Release Day!

You Rule--2 Days Until MFT's September Release

It's two more days until MFT's September Release! Is your wish list growing
longer by the day?
 

Birdie Brown has two teacher stamp sets this month--a male and a female.

I chose to use the male teacher--Favorite Teacher--on today's project.

I stamped, colored and cut out the teacher then prepared his "classroom".
Whimsical Woodgrain was stamped on kraft card stock with white pigment ink.
A piece was cut for the floor and a smaller piece for the chalkboard rail.

I assembled the chalkboard and stamped the rulers across the top and white
embossed the sentiment. I swiped some white pigment on the chalkboard
for a "chalky" effect. Two apples (from Lessons in Love) were stamped, 
colored and cut, then adhered to the chalkboard railing.
