Are you ready for the new MFT June Release? There are 4 days until you can shop it. It will go live on June 8th at 10am EDT and I just cannot wait to show you what I've been working on!
Today the DT is highlighting three brand new stamp sets, all illustrated by Rachelle Anne Miller, as well as a new Tri Frame Cover-Up die. And here it is Crafty Companions stamp!
If you love handmade - I am sure you do, as you are here at my blog! =) - this set is a must have! There are so many crafting critters, from sewn to paper craft, from quilting to painting...And they are really adorable!
To create my card, I started from the background panel. I took a piece of 4,25"x5,5" Smooth White cardstock (I've recently discovered it is perfect for ink blending) and I applied my Distress Oxides with blending brushes. I used Kitsch Flamingo, Salvaged Patina and Squeezed Lemonade and I mixed them up on my surface. As a softer "version" of the primary colors, I also got some pastel green, violet and orange areas. I also took Peackock Feathers, Picket Raspberry and Wild Honey to splatter some speckles on the previous ink blended area.
I then moved to my critters, that I stamped on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, using some copic friendly ink. I colored everything using the combos that you find below. Except for the critter fur, I tried to respect the same teal, pink and yellow combo. I then die cut everythig using coordinating dies.
I arranged everything on my A2 panel and I realized I wanted to add a Stitched Rectange Frame, which I die cut from Caribbean Sea Prestige Cardstock. I then attached everything using liquid glue and foam tape, to achieve some dimension.
To complete the card, I stamped the sentimen on the upper right side and I added some pink Love Speech Bubble hearts.
I really hope you will like it. Be sure to check out the MFT blog to see all the other inspirations and for a chance to win a 75$ shopping spree!

I love the colors in your card! Beautiful!
The background of your card is lovely. A little different than the usual but still lovely. I like that you stayed with that color palette but kept the animals fur realistic. Made for a really pretty card!
