MFT August Release Countdown Day 5!




Hello Friends!

This is the first  day of the My Favorite Things  August Release Countdown!  This new release is packed with amazing new stamps and dies. Everything you need to celebrate the end of summer and start getting ready for the fall holidays! I am so excited to share my projects with you! I LOVE everything about this new release!! Be sure to check out the MFT blog for a full reveal of today's featured stamps and dies, and mark your calendar for August 4th  at 10 p.m. EST when all of the fabulous new products will be available in the MFT online store!


Today we are featuring the beautiful new Scribble Roses Stamp set, Die-namics, Scribble Roses Overlays, and Encouraging Words stamp set!



I stamped and clear heat embossed the sentiment from the Encouraging words stamp set, then watercolored my background with Razzleberry and Orange Fizz dye ink. The roses and leaves were heat embossed with clear onto watercolor paper, and watercolored with my Zig Clean Color Brush markers. Everything was mounted with foam tape for dimension. I used some 4mm clear sequins when I was finished.



For my next card, I used the Scribble Roses Overlay dies instead of embossing.



I cut the base flowers and leaves out of smooth white card stock and sponged Summer Splash, Grape Jelly, and Limelight dye ink on them. I cut out the overlays in white and glued them down. I stamped the sentiment from the Encouraging Words stamp set in Summer Splash and Grape Jelly. I used my MISTI, so I could get the ombre effect.  For the top part of the card, I used the Wonky Chevron background stamp and stamped with Sno Cone dye ink onto Sno Cone card stock. I cut the angle out with the Stitched Basic Edges Die-namics. I glued this down to my white panel and adhered the roses and leaves with foam tape. I added some 4mm and 6mm Pretty Pink Posh sequins for the finale! :)


I hope you have enjoyed the first previews of the August release for My Favorite Things! Be sure to stop by the MFT blog and see a full reveal of todays products and see what all the other fabulous design team members have done!

See you tomorrow for Day 4!!

Hugs,

Kay :)
