Blessings this Season!

Happy Saturday!    I have a card to share.  I am playing along with this week's MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge.  I am also playing along with the Curtain Call and House of Cards.  Love the inspiration from the Curtain Call and the selection of colors from the House of Cards.



I started with MFT Card Stock Sampler pack.  I used steel gray ,nightshift blue, gray grout, tangy orange, orange fizz, and smooth white).   I used Blueprints 10 to cut the nightshift blue rounded edge layer.  I stamped this panel with BG Woodgrain Background stamp with a watermark ink.  I softly sponged on some pure white pigment ink to create to depth and variation around the edges of the wood image.   Next, I die cut the gray grout and blue strips with the stitched strip dies in Blueprints 1 and Blueprints 2.     In order to create the over edge sentiment focal frame, I used the rounded edge frame from Blueprints 10.  Since it was too long for the sketch, I just lined up the die and ran it through again to shorten it.  

I die cut the leaves from LJD Fall Foliage die namics.  I stamped the leaves using the coordination images  LJD Fall Foliage.   I used the same set to stamp the sentiment. I assembled the card using foam tape, and dimensionals for added depth.   I finished the card with one coordinating button threaded some some hemp cord. #mftstamps

 

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
