Good Morning Everyone!! I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend!! I spent lots of time with my hubby and kiddies, tending to my garden (mulching in March!! unheard of...) and visiting with great friends. I did manage to find a bit of time on Friday morning to work on this week's sketch challenge for MFT!
A fantastic sketch as always, right?!?! I thought so! And here's my interpretation:
I started with my 5"x5" chocolate cardstock base. I then used my white corrugated cardboard, which I ran through my Big Shot first to flatten down a bit, as my background. I ran a zig zag stitch around the edge and lightly brushed it with Tea Dye Distress ink and my ink blending tool.
I pulled out a bag of thin, wood circles that I purchased in the kids section at my local Michael's. I used my Brilliance pearlescent inks in orange, jade and pink to coat the circles and then clear heat emboss. I then used my hot glue gun to position all of the circles to create my fun background. I did not sand the circles first as I wanted the rough wood grain texture to show through.
I used the newly released
Triple Scoop Promo Big Greetings as my main focal sentiment. I chose the sentiment "Sending Big Hugs" to stamp on my sticky back canvas to tuck behind my rolled flowers and flowery paper strip. I used my
Solid Bracket Border as an added detail on the main strip through the center of my card.
My interior uses Well Worn Greetings. I continued the use of the white cardboard, once again, flattening it down with my Big Shot in order to stamp my "You're Priceless" greeting.
I also used my Solid Bracket Border again on the inside. My papers are from MME - Oh La La.
Thanks so much for popping in today!!
Crafty Hugs!
