MFTeasers | Day 2


Welcome to the second day of Teaser Time for My Favorite Things!  This week is full of inspiration for you AND we have some fun prizes for you too, so be sure to hop on over to the MFT Blog to see how you can win some MFT goodies!

All of these new products will be available for purchase on May 7th @ 10 PM Eastern

I'm inking up this fabulous Dandelion Wishes stamp set, which is designed by our very own Mona Pendleton!!   
 


I left the patterned paper behind for this card and kept my card pretty clean.  I started with a Kraft Card Stock base and then layered some Smooth White Card Stock with some brand new Steel Blue Card Stock.  I love this color combo!  I cut out the Vertical Frame Die-namics in both Kraft and Smooth White card stock, and then stamped the stem of the flower in Jellybean Green Ink right on the frame's center.  I used the new stamp set, Distressed Background Blocks in Steel Blue Ink to add some background interest. 

To create the layered dandelion, I cut out the flower with the Dandelion Stems and Toppers Die-namics and then stamped the darker layer in Orange Fizz Ink and the lighter layer (which is a different stamp that accents the first) in Lemon Drop Ink.


I wrapped some Hemp Cord around the base of the card and then added a Steel Blue Button over the top of the Vertical Frame Die-namics.


I stamped the inside of the card as well with part of another image from Dandelion Wishes in Steel Blue Ink and then the sentiment in Kraft Ink.



Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for a complete list of designers playing along in today's Teaser!

  1. I like what you did with the hemp cord. :)) :)) the steel blue looks better than I thought it did. It would make great masculine cards, too!
