MFT Creative Challenge - Background Building!

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday!

It's time for another MFT Design Team Creative Challenge!  The MFT Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative side using a specific theme, product or technique. 

This month, we were challenged to do some background building using our MFT Stamps and Die-Namics.  Be sure to check out the MFT Blog for a list of all participating designers who have a project to share with you today.

I had alot of fun creating my card today!  I started with a Kraft card base and using white ink, I stamped a pattern using the Distressed Diamonds set.  I then took a piece of Sweet Tooth Cardstock and stamped it using Darling Dots and the new (and delish) Lemon Drop Yellow MFT Ink.  I cut out that panel, and then layered it, using the Rectangle STAX 1 Die-Namics and Rectangle STAX 2 Die-Namics.


Using Razzle Berry Felt (YUM) I cut out flowers using the Plentiful Petals Die-Namics.  I added a Kraft Button on top tied with Hemp Cord.  I cut out leaves using the Flower Trio and Leaf Trio Duo Die-Namics out of Sour Apple Felt (YUM).  The sentiment, "Have The Happiest of Days", from the fabulous Happy Thoughts set, was stamped onto a panel cut with the First Place Award Ribbon Die-Namics


On the inside I added more dots from the Darling Dots set stamped with Lemon Drop Yelllow MFT Ink, and then added another sentiment, "Happiness Always", also from Happy Thoughts.


Here are the Die-Namics I've used on my card:

    People grow by growing together You were fortunate to discover these as your energy blockages or bumpers as you called them Just simply by saying YES or No! How come? Your circumstances and direction in life are dependent on that YES or NO choice that you take and you will live according to that decisionWhen you are born, there is one source of thoughts, your soul, spirit, higher self, God, whatever you choose to call it

    The great seafarers of Atlantis or these early colonizers from the Brotherhood deserve to be studied and we can learn a great deal from how they ran their government or society Gain visibility within your marketTake a very focused approach to reaching your market STOP clipping before you get thereThis is illegal in many states but other groomers still use them
