Thinking Inking

Thankful for You: MFT WSC482

Welcome! Today I'm playing along with the My Favorite Things Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge, WSC 482. I'm still looking for some missing crafting mojo, but it's gradually coming back. I hope that you are safe and well. Staying busy is usually a good thing when life is out of order--at least it is for me.

Today's sketch included three vertical images (candles) with a sentiment over top of them. I hadn't played with this month's Stitched Garden Die-namics yet, so I thought that I would use flowers for my focal images. I die-cut them from white cardstock and colored with with my Copic markers. For the sky and grass, I did some ink blending with Sno Cone and Sour Apple inks. (I used the Grassy Hills Die-namics to cut a stencil since I wanted both a negative and a positive shape to ink on both sides.)

Let's Celebrate You: MFT Icing on the Cake Card Kit

Welcome! How are you all doing? It's been a long time since I posted (or even since I crafted, truth be told), and life has certainly changed for all of us over the past few weeks. We've been working on a garden spot for my Mom, knowing that it may become a more important part of food on her table in the future. We managed to fence it in, hoping to keep the deer out; but I don't know what we'll do about her groundhog problem!

On to my card. . . The My Favorite Things Stamps Icing on the Cupcake card kit was released earlier today. I have a very simple card here on which I used the Sprinkles Stencil from the card kit. I LOVE this new stencil! (The Cupcake and Sprinkles Die-namics and the Sugar Coated Sentiments are absolutely darling as well, even though I didn't use them on this card.) I blended five ink colors (shown in my supply list below) 

Next, I used the You Impress Me Die-namics and the turquoise foil, along with the All About You Die-namics, to create a shiny foiled "you" for my focal point. I used detail white embossing powder on Razzle Berry card stock with a sentiment from the All About You stamp set. I finished with a few random sequins that I had in my stash. It's a simple card, but I was happy with it when I finished.

The Icing on the Cake Card Kit is now available at MFT Stamps. Be sure to see the MFT Stamps Blog for more ideas with this kit as well as a chance to win prizes! Thank you for visiting, and I hope that you can find some enjoyment in the more secluded times that you're probably having right now. Hang in there!

Short Family Care Break

Good morning! I am taking a short blogging break because we have had a death in the family, and I need to be available to help. I will jump back in with some March MFT Stamps release projects as soon as I can get work time again. Thank you for understanding!
