MFT HAS A NEW DESIGNER

Hello everyone, I'm back today to share some fantastic news:

Stacey Yacula has joined the MFT Family!

So I had fun creating this card for you, using her first stamp set

Sweet Holiday Penguins

I stamped the little penguins with Cement Grey Hybrid ink on to Copic suitable card, having pre-cut the cardstock with a Circle Stax 2 Die-namics.

COPIC COLOURS:
Background: YR30, E50, E81, E84, C1, C2, C4
Penguins: B0000, C00, C0, C1, C4, C6, C8, C10, B45, V20, YR21, YR12, YR18
Hat: R24, R29, R56, R59, BG0000, BG000, N1, N2, N3
Box: R22, R24, B0000, B00, YR20, YR21, YR23, C0, C1, C2

Once coloured, I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.  I opted to mount the image panel with foam tape on to a top folding card made using Wild Cherry and a Stitched Mini Scallop Circle Stax die.

Please hop on over to the MFT Blog to not only see more cute penguins but also our latest card kit.

As for me, I will be back tomorrow with more cuteness!
Until then
Happy Colouring

MFT RELEASE DAY - OCTOBER 2018

I have a pair of adorable Robins for my release day post!

Tweet Holidays has lots of cheeky little Robins to choose from and numerous seasonal sentiments.

I chose these cute little friends, snuggled up in a scarf - please note the one on the stamp is plain, I added my own pattern when colouring it.

They were stamped with Cement Gray Hybrid ink on Copic suitable card and coloured with Copic markers and then cut out using the matching Tweet Holidays Die-Namics.

COPIC COLOURS:

Robins: YR12, E13, E41, E42, E43, E44, W00, W0, W1, W3, W5, W6, W8

Hat/Scarf: R22, R24, R27, R37, B0000, B000, C1, C2, C3, W2, W4, W5

As for the card base, I cut a piece of Smooth White card using a Stitched Square die.  Then cut a mask using a Stitched Arch Stax and adhered the negative space to the square die cut.

I sponged Tumbled Glass, Milled Lavender and Stormy Sky Distress ink on to the open area.  Once the ink had dried I dry embossed the Stitched Arch Stax on the square die cut for added dimension.  Then it was time to add a snow flurry with a White Gel Pen.

A sentiment from the Tweet Holidays set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Wow Metallic First Frost Embossing Powder.

Both the Robins and the decorated square panel were adhered to a top folding square card base with foam tape.
