My Favorite Things DT Challenge; Creative Challenge; Gift Giving Groove

Hi and welcome to a new My Favorite Things    Creative Challenge. Today we are sharing projects for different ways to present a gift card. I pulled out the Treat Pocket die, which is perfect for holding a giftcard and decorated it with flowers and greens from the Garden and Wild Greenery die-namics set. I colored the flowers using copics. The panel is stamped with one of my all time favorite stamps - the tiny star bg.







With the card inside. This design could be used for any occasion but this one is going to hold a giftcard for the Garden Center so the reciever can get some new plants for their garden.

MFT Summer school - Session 2 ; Primary - Using red, yellow, and blue

Hi!


Welcome to the third day of MFT's summer school - session 2 - The theme this week is USING COLOR ! Today's lesson is called:

Primary - Using red, yellow, and blue.




I started out by stamping and embossing the cool new Balloon string bg stamp (July release) and then ink the bg in different shades of blue to create a water/wave look. I created a frame with the pierced rectangles and then added the cute Penguin and sun (see supply list below).
