Whew! I feel like the last week has been a whirwind with all the release fun every day, and now it's already time for the DT to play Release Rewind today and tomorrow to show off projects using some of the new MFT November products we hadn't had a chance to use yet!
Be sure to head over to MFT's blog for links to all the other DT members playing today, and then the rest will be up tomorrow!
Even though I'd used the new Sweater Stitch Background stamp during the countdown I wanted to use it again - this time with multiple inks to create an ombre effect.
I basically just held the ink pads on an angle and starting at the top with the lightest color I tapped on the ink, then moved on to the next color. They somewhat blended themselves (if you wanted a more blended look you could mist with water but I didn't want to mess with the detail of the stamp - and I kind of like the imperfections) - and I LOVE the bright color of course.
I had a strip left over from trimming down the front so I used it on the inside of the card (waste not want not eh?), and the sentiments are (of course) from the new Cozy Greetings set - LOVE those!
This is a 4-Bar Sized Card
For my second card I pulled out the new Warmest Wishes stamp set - it's so cute :).
I stamped the girl with Black Licorice hybrid ink and die cut her with the coordinating Die-namics die. While I was coloring her in I was thinking of my own kids in their winter gear - which is always a mish-mash of whatever they feel like wearing - it doesn't matter if it matches or is part of a set. I don't care as long as they're warm! ;)
I stamped the little snowflake cluster from the set onto the card base with Sweet Tooth pigment ink then heat embossed it with some sparkle embossing powder from my stash. The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of card stock I die cut with one of the dies from the new Blueprints 20 Die-namics.
