MFT Horizontal Snow Drifts

Hi there. I had time to craft last night, and wanted to play at the current colour challenge at MFT. I also wanted to play with the MFT ‘Friendly Fox’ dies I received a few weeks ago.

Here is my card:

The colours to be used are:

I don’t have any MFT inks or card-stock so I had to make do with what I had. The base card is actually an off-white card I have used as the natural colour, the blueberry fox is from Creative Expressions, and the greens are Distress Oxides blended onto a piece of Crafters Companion Neenah card, and then die cut using the MFT Horizontal Snow Drifts die – and piecing the elements back together.

I think I’m into paper-piecing at the moment – I must move on to something different!!

So – a blueberry fox………I think it works to create even more cuteness…

As I mentioned the other day – I must get to making a birthday card for mum for the 28th, and a mother’s day card for the 31st……so – back to my craft room………..such a difficult evening ahead…………!!!

Oh – and the new challenge at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenges starts today – I hope you can come and join us – the theme is anything goes for Christmas…………..

🙂 🙂

Hello once again. I have been playing with the MFT ‘Ocean Pals‘ stamp and die cutting set this weekend – in between going to the Doncaster Race Course ‘Crafting Live’ event.

I smooshed and ink blended a few backgrounds with several blue Distress Oxides, adding several layers, air drying between layers. I then cut out a circle – cut the bottom off to match the current CAS Colours and Sketches Challenge – then die cut that circle with the MFT Horizontal Snow Drifts.

I placed those pieces back into a circle shape using 3D foam pads, but wanted some white to show between the layers, so I off-set them. The blue circle alone was too – well – blue!

I stamped the little fishies onto water-colour card, then coloured them with my Zigs. I used 2 or 3 of each colour to get some dimension in the fishies. After adding them, I took a sentiment from Hero Arts Colour Layering Gold fish, which I stamped, layered with another piece of blue, and splattered with some to stop it being so white.

As the sun is shining again, I took a photo to show the dimension I added when putting the card together.
