I was able to get a few of the MFT sets to try out AND it's a critter blog hop day, so I thought putting the Flopsey Goes Camping set I got to good use today would make sense.
I just love the sentiment that comes with this set. I used Certainly Celery and Bliss Blue inks to create the background while the paper was still in the Spellbinders Deckled Rectangle so I would have a nice white edge. The hat Flopsey's wearing is one of those awesome "opportunities for embellishment" we all love. I was putting ATG tape on the back of the rabbit I'd already fussy cut and I ripped his ear off. Not being a bunny of the chocolate sort, he needed to be put back together. I covered the oops with a hand-cut hat and I called it a day.
Don't forget to order your stamps soon. I have seen lots of people post that they're ordering the maximum 6 sets, so you don't want to miss out!

That is a great card. I LOVE your background! Maybe you should do a tut? I always struggle with a blank sky... don't want a solid blue ...

Thanks, Pat! I just used some make up sponges (the triangle wedge ones) and pale dye ink. I concentrated the blue in the upper left and then used less and less as I went down. I added the green last. I haven't had any success with TH Distress ink looking good when I use it, so I stick with dye inks. :)
DeleteI think his hat was super clever, even if you were covering an oops!
ReplyDeleteThe hat is such a cute addition! Smart thinking. Nice job on creating the background too.
