My Thoughts and Prayers...MFTWSC130 32

Happy Wednesday! It's time for an all new My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge! For additional inspiration from participating DT members, please be sure to visit the MFT Blog.

Here's the fun sketch for this week:

I stayed true to the sketch and featured the pretty Die-namics Heirloom Label die. I filled the open real estate with a delicate scalloped oval image from Vintage Cameo Sentiments followed by with a  stamped sentiment from Inspired by Flowers Set #1.

The flower was made using the flower die from Die-namics Blueprints 3 then topped with a Pink Lemonade button. 

Many thanks for stopping by ~ I hope you join in the fun!
Be Sweet ;)

Happy Birthday Tina! 43

Hi there! Today is my dearest sister Tina's birthday! She is currently out of town traveling with her job so we have to celebrate when she returns. I made her this mixed media canvas board using a combination of MFT stamps, paints, markers, molding paste and chalk pastels.

I started by creating a collage of patterned paper on the canvas board, then using a mixture of paints, molding paste and a stencil, I added the damask design. Collaged and painted the vase then added the bouquet of MFT flowers that were made using the following stamp sets: MFT Inspired by Flowers Set #1 and MFT Inspired by Flowers Set #2. If you want to see a tutorial that I made creating a painted vase of flowers, please feel free to check out my tutorial HERE. 

I painted the Daffodils from MFT Inspired by Flowers Set #1, the Daisies and Roses from MFT Inspired by Flowers Set #2 using a variety of paints then outlined using a variety of Pan Pastels and Faber-Castell Pitt Pens. To complete my project, I swiped a layer of a few different colors of Pan Pastels over the background. 

For texture inspiration, I referred to Christy Kinard's beautiful gallery and for color inspiration, I joined along with The Play Date Cafe:

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you have a great Tuesday!
