MFT Sketch 214 {My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration Blog}


During the month of February, I am thrilled to be joining the talented gals at the MFT Challenge & Inspiration Blog! I'll be sharing a card based on the weekly sketches, each Wednesday, throughout the month. I hope you'll play along and join in the fun! 
It's been a long time since I created a card from a sketch - I forgot just how much fun it is! Sometimes my projects look very much like the sketch, but often I like to flip it or twist it around. Today is the first day of sketch #214 - you can create a card or any other paper crafted project you'd like, using this week's sketch. Be sure to link your project at the MFT challenge blog for a chance at the weekly My Favorite Things Gift Voucher worth up to $20! 

So without further ado, here is the sketch. . . but if you want to see my card, well, you'll have to head on over to the MFT Challenge & Inspiration Blog! But never fear, here on my lovely little blog, I have a coordinating card that I created, that matches my sketch card - and what's that I see? Why yes, it's a sneak peek of my sketch card peeking out from underneath. 

To create this card, I stamped the buttons on white cardstock. Then I layered a piece of vellum over the top. The amazingly cool headphones are a new die set from MFT, (Headphones Die-namics) that coordinates with the new Keep On Rockin' stamps. I adhered the die cuts and stamped the musical note and sentiment right onto the vellum. 

Vellum can be tricky to adhere, so I used staples to attach it to my card. 

Please head on over to the MFT Challenge & Inspiration Blog. You'll see my sketch card, plus projects from the design team, and you can submit your sketch card for a chance to win!

If you're visiting for the first time, thanks so much for coming! I'd love for you to follow me on Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram. You can find the links in my sidebar!

Love your take on the sketch! Love how the vellum softens the pattern and makes the headphones really pop!
