MFT Stamps: World Cardmaking Day Challenges

I didn't participate in World Card Making Day yesterday,

because we were in Winnipeg, celebrating Thanksgiving with my mom.

So, I decided to play along with the World Card Making Day

challenges at MFT Stamps this afternoon.

I made five cards for the four challenges. :)

First of all, I created this card for Challenge #1: ROYGBIV,

where we needed to incorporate the colours of the rainbow:

I made a one-layer card using MFT's Beautiful Butterflies.

I stamped my sentiment using Handwritten Holiday and a stamp from PTI.

Next, I created two cards for Challenge #2: Die-Namics Designs,

where we couldn't use stamps, only dies.

I smooshed some aqua and green inks onto watercolour paper and diecut them

using the leaves from Flashy Florals.

I flicked white paint mixed with water onto my kraft cardstock background

and added the thanks (from the Flashy Florals kit), diecut from white cardstock.

I had a few leaves left over, so I made a second card:

On this one, I added a little twine to finish it off.

Next, I created two cards for Challenge #3: By the Numbers,

where we were encouraged to incorporate numbers into our card.

Since I don't own any number stamps or dies from MFT stamps, 

I decided to stamp some stacks of 39 books on the front of my card.

I did some masking to create my stacks using the books from Our Story.

I diecut the watercolour panel, after colouring it in with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush markers,

with my Mama Elephant Femme Frames diecut.

The sentiment was heat embossed on a strip of black cardstock.

And lastly, I have a card for Challenge #4: Make & Mail,

which I made for my sister-in-law, which I will mail on Tuesday.

For this card, I used MFT's Fall Florals and this week's 

Wednesday Sketch Challenge at MFT Card Challenges:

Thanks for looking!
