MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 484

Hi All!

Every Wednesday on the My Favorite Things blog they post a new sketch challenge. This week's challenge was to use Sketch 484.

For this challenge I decided to do a congratulations card. I used the Small Brick Wall Stencil with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink to create a faded brick wall background. As most things on this card are black, grey or white, I wanted to have a pop of colour on the card, so I die cut a stitched heart from the pink knit paper in the Lawn Fawn Knit Picky line.  Then I used pink cardstock as the base of the card.

Supplies Used: White Smooth Cardstock, Black Cardstock, Pink Cardstock, Silver Glitter Paper, MFT Stencil (Small Brick Wall), MFT Dienamics (Congrats, Stitched Heart STAX), MFT Stamp (You Wow Me), Lawn Fawn Paper (Knit Picky Fall - Leg Warmers), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Hickory Smoke), Memento Black Ink, YNS Gumdrops (Crystal Clear and Sparkle)

Thanks Laurie

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 483

Hi All!

Every Wednesday on the My Favorite Things blog they post a new sketch challenge. This week's challenge was to use Sketch 483.

For this challenge I decided to do an anniversary card. I love using this bride & groom stamp from Dreamland Crafts for wedding or anniversary cards. I made the scattered hearts background first in two different pinks before building the rest of the card.

This type of sketch is one of my favourite ways to design a card as I love the idea of tag in the centre of the card. So my take on the tag in the sketch was to have a silver glitter that when put on the background takes on a little pink tint.  Then I put black trim around the tag to help it stand out from the stencilled background.

Supplies Used: White Smooth Cardstock, Black Cardstock, Silver Glitter Paper, MFT Stencil (Lots Of Heart), Dreamerland Crafts Stamp (Welcoming The New Couple), Your Next Stamp (Wedding Bliss), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry), Doodlebug Halloween Assortment Glitter Sprinkles, Pop Dots, Memento Black Ink, Various Copic Markers
