My Favorite Things...June Teasers - Day 3...Abstract Art

Hello stampin' friends! Check out my new blog design? I LOVE it! Thanks Emily and Designer Blogs! 

So, It's Day 3 of June Teasers and today we are featuring the NEW Abstract Art, Paint Brushes Die-namics, Art Expression Text and the Peek-a-Boo Dots Die-namic. The new release will be available at My Favorite Things on June 11th at 10 PM EST. All the release and prize details are available on the MFT Blog so be sure to check it out!!! 

  

I made three cards with the fabulous NEW Abstract Art Stamp set (SOOO much fun) and the NEW Bold Statements stamp set and I used the fabulous NEW Blueprints 4 and the NEW Paint Brushes Die-namics too.

Never mind a message in a bottle wouldn't love to get a message in a paint can!? I had this idea to make a bird's-eye view of some paint cans. So, I made the A2 card-base from MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Grapesicle and cut the Smooth White Card Stock with the large rectangle from the NEW Blueprints 4. On the Smooth White Card Stock, I stamped various splatters, splotches and swatches of "paint" with the NEW Grapesicle Premium Dye Ink and in Electric Red and Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink.

 I used the Circle STAX 1 and 2 to make the large, gallon sized can of paint from metallic silver card stock and I used the stitched circle element from Blueprints 1 and a smaller Circle STAX Die-namics nested in the center to cut out the rim of the pint sized paint cans.  I stamped the sentiment from the NEW Bold Statements set with Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink on the Electric Red Heavyweight Card Stock that is the "paint" on the inside of the can. I added a paint brush to rest on the edge of the large paint can with the NEW Paint Brushes Die-namics. To get a more realistic look of a paint brush dipped in paint,  I cut 2 "bristles" with the Paint Brushes Die-namics; one from Black Licorice Heavyweight Card Stock and one from Electric Red Heavyweight Card Stock. Then I used the Wavy Edge Die-namics to cut the wavy edge of the Electric Red Bristles and adhered it over the Black Licorice card stock.

Here is the inside...I made a pint sized paint can and added another paintbrush and used the NEW Bold Statements Set again for the sentiment.  

I really love how this card turned out with the NEW Insert It - Speech Bubble Frame. I used the actual Speech Bubble instead of the frame and stamped several sentiments from the NEW Bold Statements Stamp set with MFT Premium Dye Ink in the NEW Grapesicle, Orange Fizz and Red Hot Premium Dye Ink. I added a paintbrush with the NEW Paint Brushes Die-namics.    

Here is the inside...more fun splotches, splatters and swatches of "paint" with the NEW Abstract Art and another sentiment from the NEW Bold Sentiments set.

This is my third card today and I really had fun with this one too. I created my own paint chip...SO cool! I cut the long rectangle from the NEW Blueprints 4 Die-namics from Smooth Card Stock. I used thin Eclipse tape to mask of the measured sections and then I used the back of a MFT border stamp (specifically the wood-grain stamp from the LJD Western Backgrounds Stamp set) and inked it to get a solid swatch of colour.  stamped the swatch of ink in a gradation of the red using MFT Premium Dye Ink in, Red Hot, Wild Cherry and Electric Red.  I used the LLD Journal It- Calendar Basics stamp set to add the actual serial # of each of the MFT Premium Dye ink pads and I stamped the sentiment from the LLD Document It -  Rock On Stamp set. 

and this is the inside...I stamped another fun sentiment from the NEW Bold Statements Stamps set and a few more splotches and splatters of paint from the NEW Abstract Art set. I added another paint brush with the Paint Brushes Die-namics.

Here is the fabulous sketch that we have this week!

I used the beautiful Wendy Burns Designs Cupcake Cutie...I SO adore this cutie and her little pooch too. I made my card-base 6X6 and paired Cupcake Cutie with the pretty and feminine Authentique Grace 8X8 papers.  I used the LLD Insert It - InstaFrame and Insert It - 3X4 Notepad Die-namics. I also used the pretty flower Die-namics from Blueprints 3 and the tag from Blueprints 2. The sentiment is from the More Essential Sentiments Set stamped with Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink.

I paper pieced Cupcake Cutie's dress and coloured her with my Copics. I added in some dark shadows/shading with a Charcoal pencil and a blending stomp. I saw this colouring technique several months ago in a great video tutorial by Tobi from Tobi's Place. I've been meaning to try it myself and finally pulled out the Charcoal pencil that I bought to do this with and gave it ago with this Wendy Burns Designs - Cupcake Cutie. I'm stilling getting the hang of it but I really love how it looks.

Here is the inside...I stamped a shadow image of the Cupcake Cutie in Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink on Whip Cream Heavyweight Card Stock and used the Sweet Stack and Vertical Greetings Die-namics. I added a few more flowers with Orange Fizz Buttons and stamped another sentiment from the More Essential Sentiments set.

My Favorite Things Stamps...May Release Rewind...MPD - Dandelion Wishes/Dandelion Stems and Toppers

Hello Stampin' friends!  Welcome to Day 2 of the MFT May Release Rewind! Today I am featuring the  NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes,  the NEW Dandelion Stems and Toppers and the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Distressed Background Blocks from the May release that are AVAILABLE NOW in the MFT Boutique!

I made a 12x12 layout and I used this May PageMaps sketch...although I deviated quite a bit and I'm not sure it resembles the sketch now but it was a great starting off point!

So this is my first attempt at a little "Mixed Media"...I just stuck my baby toe in to test the water and I really enjoyed it, of course MFT made it SO easy with Mona's New line and the fun NEW Stencil.  I'm quite happy with how my page turned out too! I used these pretty Bo Bunny Prairie Chic 12x12 papers. The photo is one of my faves of my daughter Hannah while camping at Balsam Lake Provincial Park while hiking the Plantation Trail. I printed the 5X7 in Black and White and matted it on MFT Whip Cream Heavyweight Card Stock.

I used the NEW Mini Chicken Wire Stencil and Light Modeling Paste to add some dimension and texture here and there. After the modeling paste dried I thought it need a little extra something so I pulled out my Metallic Rub-ons that I've had in my stash for ever...I used the Yellow Gold and rubbed it over the dried Light Modeling Paste...it was the perfect little addition! I also stamped the sentiment from the NEW Laina Lamb Design - Document It - Right on Target Stamp set, stamped on pattern paper cut with the Bracket Tab Die-namics with the NEW Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink and tucked it under the edge of the photo.

Here you can see the texture with the Light Modeling Paste applied over the NEW Mini Chicken Wire Stencil. I also added a few corrugated cardboard butterflies cut with the Butterflies Die-namics and painted with Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint in Picket Fence. I also added a little Yellow Gold Metallic Rub-ons to the butterflies and randomly around the page.  The butterflies were embellished with Pink lemonade Buttons tied with Hemp Cord. 

I cut the NEW Dandelion Stems and Toppers Die-namics from Linen paper and stamped the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes with Lemon Drop and Kraft Premium Dye Ink and stamped the stems with Factory Green and Gumdrop Green Premium Dye Ink.  The Linen dandelions are layered over a Dainty Doily from the Dainty Doily Duo Die-namics cut from Whip Cream Heavyweight Card Stock. I cut a tag with the Traditional Tag STAX Die-namics and stamped a sentiment from the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes with the NEW Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink and tied it with Hemp Cord bow.

 I also cut the largest Dotted Scallop Border with the NEW Dotted Scallop Border Trio from Linen paper.

I added yet another sweet sentiments from the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes and cut it out with the Fishtail Flags and Fishtail Layers STAX Die-namics. I also used the  NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Distressed Background Blocks with Kraft Premium Dye Ink. I didn't adhere the distressed hexagon Stamp to an acrylic block. I just inked it up and held it in my hand and randomly stamped with it around the page.  I used the Notebook Edge Die-namics to cut the edge of the pattern paper.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my 12X12 page featuring the NEW Mona Pendleton Designs - Dandelion Wishes,  Mona Pendleton Designs - Distressed Background Blocks and the coordinating Dandelion Stems and Toppers Die-namics. Take a few minutes and pop on over to Kim's blog for links to all the MFT Designers joining the May MFT Release Rewind and then stop by the MFT Boutique to check out all the NEW Stamps and Die-namics that are NOW AVAILABLE!
