Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting much lately :(. I'm just past the 35 week mark with this pregnancy and finding the time and energy to make cards has been a struggle to say the least :P. But I DO have 2 cards to share with y'all as part of this month's MFT Die-namics Design Challenge for the Design Team.
This month we're focusing on MFT's Cover-Up Die-namics - make sure to check out MFT's blog post for links to all the other DT member's posts to see what they've chosen and made!
I had a hard time deciding on which Cover-Up to use - I have a lot of favourites. I finally decided to use the Floral Fusion Cover-Up - and made 2 cards with it:
To create this watercolor die cut I "smushed" several different MFT Dye ink pads onto a craft sheet, sprayed it with water then pressed watercolor paper into it. I dried it with my heat tool then did it again and again to get the splotchy look. Once I was happy with it I ran it through my die cut machine with the Floral Fusion Cover-Up.
I matted the die cut with In the Buff and Persimmon card stocks that I die cut with the Blueprints 1 and Blueprints 2 Die-namics dies that I always use for layering.
The sentiment is from the Birthday Chalkboard Greetings stamp set that I stamped with VersaMark onto MFT's vellum and embossed with white embossing powder.
I finished off the inside with another sentiment from the same set stamped in Persimmon ink, and the littler confetti-like embellishments were left-over pieces from the flower centers that I popped out from the die after cutting it out.
For my second card I just cut the Floral Fusion Cover-Up from white card stock - but to make the card "pop" I covered a piece of Persimmon card stock with an adhesive sheet and coated it with some iridescent glitter - making my own glitter card stock. I matted the die cut over that and used another sentiment from the same Birthday Chalkboard greetings set.
I stamped the Happy Birthday from the same set with Persimmon ink and that was it! :)
