MFT Wednesday Sketch 281 & Colour Challenge 45

 

The local store where I sell my cards suggested I make some Father's Day cards

for them to sell since my Mother's Day cards sold out. :)

 

So, I thought that the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge 281 &

the MFT Colour Challenge 45 would work perfectly:

 

 

I was inspired by this card by the incredibly talented Amy Sheffer

to make my cards, using MFT's Soda Pop.

 

 

I started by impressing my card backs using one of my MFT stax circle dies.

Then, I diecut all of my elements from white cardstock (except for the bottle

labels, which I diecut from vellum) and blended ink onto the bottles, caps and straws.

Then, I mixed some ink with water and flicked it onto my bottles

to give an appearance of bubbles.

I stamped the fruit and star circles onto some circles I punched

and tied some twine around my bottle tops.

 

 

I stamped the sentiment (from Soda Pop) onto a strip of teal cardstock

in versamark and heat embossed it in white.

Then, I stamped the "Happy Father's Day" sentiment (from PTI's KIS: Father's Day).

 

For each card, I used the same colours, but switched up

the order of the bottles and the colours of the mats.

 

 Thanks for looking!
