Welcome! It's KIT time at My Favorite Things Stamps, and if you're a flower lover like me, the Sensational Stitched Flowers card kit this month will be a real hit for you! If you're familiar with the monthly kit releases from MFT, you'll probably remember that the first round of samples is the "in the box" day, meaning that we use only components found in the card kit, with a couple of exceptions like basic shapes Die-namics and neutral inks. The Sensational Stitched Flowers Kit will be available at 10pm Eastern time on Tuesday, August 23. At that time, the link for the kit at the bottom of my post should work.
My "in the box" card is pretty straightforward; I die-cut and stacked flower parts, attaching them with either foam tape or glue depending upon how high I wanted a particular layer to stand. The little curlycues are really flower stems that have been rolled. (Can you tell that I've been pulling my share of vine-weeds from my vegetable garden lately?) I airbrushed some Copic sky behind my flowers, but you could really use any color medium that you already have and are comfortable using for that--distress inks, watercolors, even colored cardstock.
There's a great new feature with this month's card kit: a mid-month free with $60 Die-namics is now available with each qualifying order over $60. Look for the details on the MFT Stamps blog. While you are there I hope you get a chance to check out the full link list of today's participants--it's a flower-lover's paradise! Finally, for a chance to win a $25 prize, leave a comment on the Sensational Stitched Flowers card kit on the MFT Blog.
Again, the Sensational Stitched Flowers card kit will be available at My Favorite Things Stamps on Tuesday, August 23 at 10pm. At that time, the Card Kit link below will work. Thanks for visiting!
