MFT Camp Create: Days 4 & 5

I am back today to share the last two cards that I made for MFT's Camp Create
Day 4's challenge was Magnificent Masking.
For my card, I was inspired by Anna Kossakovskaya's planner pages
that she shared last week -- aren't they gorgeous?
Here's my card:


I started by using some masking to stamp the flowers and leaves 
from Flashy Florals onto my card base.
Then, I diecut the flowers and leaves from post-it notes to use to cover my flowers
while I stamped over top using a SSS wide stripes background stamp.
To get solid black lines, I repeatedly stamped, using my MISTI,
but this unfortunately left a little black on my flowers.
So I diecut those from white cardstock, restamped them and adhered them over
my original flowers.
I have to admit that I didn't get the cleanest of lines around my masked flowers,
so I used a black fine line marker to colour in over the fussiness.


I diecut my hello (from the Flashy Florals kit) from white and black
 cardstock, stacked them together and adhered them over my flowers.

I earned this badge:
And Day 5's Challenge was Background Bonanza.

I decided to use the MFT Colour Challenge 49 to make my card:


I thought of stamping my background using flowers, but decided
to just use leaves (from MFT Flashy Florals and Modern Blooms) instead.


I stamped them in Altenew Ocean Waves and Dusk and 
added the "berries" in Ruby Red.


I diecut a large banner from MFT navy cardstock and adhered
the thanks diecut from white cardstock.

I earned this badge:
I really enjoyed the challenges from MFT's Camp Create
and was super excited that I could play along this session!
I always enjoy being challenged to created a card that I otherwise
wouldn't have thought to create on my own.

Thanks for looking!
