MY FAVORITE THINGS SUPERSTAR - INNOVATION MASTER


My Favorite Things Superstar challenge had three groups and this card is for the Innovation Master.  Make something interactive.  Not an easy assignment for me, I am too controlling.  But I decided a shaker card at least had borders and some control!

I started with a Halloween green paper and picked out 6 stamps from the MFT Spooky Sentiments stamp set.  These 6 made almost a perfect square.  I stamped them using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink since I knew it would stay purple on top of the green.  I cut some orange card stock for the frame and placed an acetate window on it.  Green, orange, purple, black and silver sequins were carefully poured in.  I stuck the sets of wiggly eyes so they would stay in place and the sequins would shake around them.  It really is a fun card to play with!

I have enjoyed the challenge of these three groups from MFT.  I at least feel like a superstar with my entries!

Thank you for visiting.

MY FAVORITE THINGS SUPERSTAR - COLORING VIRTUSO

My Favorite Things Superstar also has a coloring challenge called Coloring Virtuso.

When I think of colors this time of year, what stands out for me is the beautiful autumn colors for the leaves.  I used the MFT Autumn Wreath die on some heavy water color paper.  I was going to do a wreath, but instead cut them all apart.  I colored them with Zig Markers and had so much fun blending each leaf all the different shades of fall.  My fingers were bright red!  I then stamped the sentiment from MFT Get Toasty stamp set.  I did an ombre effect with orange and red ink for the sentiment and then embossed it with clear powder to give it a nice shine.

Thank you for visiting.

MY FAVORITE THINGS SUPERSTAR - CLEAN AND SIMPLE GENIUS


My Favorite Things is having a Superstar contest for some great prizes.  I am entering this card into the Clean and Simple Genius group.

I love to make clean and simple.  Usually it is just that.  I cut the tissue box from the MFT Bedside Comfort die set.  I made a little tissue out of real tissue.  I stamped the sentiment from the MFT Deepest Sympathy stamp set.  So many great phrases to use for these sad occasions.  

Sadly, I will have to mail this card.  I hope it helps!
