MFT - JUNE HITS AND HIGHLIGHTS

Hello and welcome to the MFT's June Hits and Highlights.

The challenge for this month:

 Put on your shades, because the MFT Design Team is shining today! They are bringing the heat with an array of products centering around a HOT theme — Surf, Sand, & Sun. Get inspired with some COOL new ideas using the hottest products available. Let’s dive in! 

My card inspired by the challenge:

To begin, I Copic colored the stamped images from the Best Fins stamp set and die-cut them with the coordinating Die-namics.

The front panel was ink blended with Distress Oxides and die-cut with a die from the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics.  After, I added splatters of water and white dots with a gel pen. Once dried, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Best Fins stamp set.

The sand hill panel was die-cut with a die from the Under the Sea Die-namics and ink blended with Distress Oxides. After, I cut the panel with the same die I used for the front panel from the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I added splatters of water here as well. 

To assemble the card, I foam mounted the hill panel and adhered the colored images to create the scene as shown.

Hello! I'm back again with the latest The Birthday Project challenge for MFT. The theme for this month is Party Hearty.

It's just not a birthday unless there's a party involved – even if it's of the paper variety!

My card inspired by the challenge:

 The front panel was ink blended with Distress Oxides.  I added splatters of ink to the pink area. Once dried, I heat embossed sentiment from the SY Sending Sweet Celebration Wishes.

 To finish, I foam mounted the colored images to the front panel as shown.

As always it's a fun challenge! I hope you'll play along with us. Visit the MFT Blog for information on The Birthday Project challenge and for more inspiration from the participating design team members.
