MFT Creative Challenge!

MFT is working harder than ever to inspire you, and we have come up with something we think you'll really enjoy. Our Design Team Creative Challenge is a new monthly feature, where we challenge our design team to explore their creative side using a specific theme, product or technique. 


This month, we've all been challenged to paint!  Visit Kim's Blog for a full list of designers that have taken up the challenge!


Here is the card I created...

I used the Pink Paisley Butterfly Garden papers and MFT's Pure Innocence Blooming Good Day stamp set. Is she not adorable? I mean, I say that all the time right... but seriously, is she not?! hehe! I colored her up with my Copic markers and paper pieced her dress. I layered her on top of a Dizzy Doily I cut out in cream cardstock. The sentiment is stamped on one of the fishtail banners included in the First Award Ribbon Dies-namics set. All the edges are distressed in Vintage Photo Ranger Distress Ink for a shabby look. I replaced the flower with a pink mini Iamroses flower from my stash... in fact, I created a whole garden of flowers for PI girl using flowers from my stash and MFT's Rolled Flower, one of my all-time favorite Die-namics! I also popped in a few butterflies from the Butterflies Die-namics.


Now, how did I incorporate paint onto my project? See the little picket fence and the heart? Both are little wooden pieces that I distressed using Acrylic paints and Crackle Medium to give both a worn look.

Inside my card, I just stamped PI girl again, included a sentiment from the Pure Innocence Rose stamp set. I cut out the birdcage from the Butterfly Garden paper collection for use on another project, but thought I'd pop it inside this card. :-)
