Hi friends! Have you already shopped the July Release?
Today the MFT Design Team is showcasing some of the newest products, which are already available for purchase! And today, I have another birthday themed card to show you.
This may be my favorite card of the release, I don't know why but I absolutely love the final look.
When I first saw the Plane and Simple products, I had the idea to add "someone" on the plane, so I look into new products to get the perfect aviator: that fox from the Cotton Candy Critters was perfect, but it wasn't looking into the right direction because you get a left facing plane from the die cutting. So, I decided to "reverse" all the dies and have the plane going to the right direction.
I die cut all the piecing from colored cardstock, I turn them and I used a teflon bold folder to smoothen the "back die cut lines". I also added just a bit of shades to get a bit of depth. I stamped one of the sentiment included in the Plane and Simple Sentiment on the banner, and I stamped and colored the fox with the copics listed below.
For the sky, I did some really light ink blending, using Distress Oxides in Stormy Sky and Hickory Smoke. I just added a few clouds too (which comes from the previously released Island Paradise Die-namics. To complete the design, I stamped another sentiment with coordinted colors on the lower part of the card, I trimmed the colored panel to 4"x5.25" and I matted it with an A2 white panel. And here's the finished result!
Thanks for stopping by, I really hope you will like it. Be sure to check out the MFT blog to see all the other product previews and for even more ideas and inspiration, please visit the My Favorite Things YouTube channel.
