Cupcake's Creations: MFT Big Greetings

Hi there! Welcome to the September MFT Design Team Creative Challenge! Just in case you are not familiar, the MFT Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative side using a specific theme, product, or technique. This month, we were challenged to build a scene using MFT Stamps and Die-namics.

I had so much fun with this month's theme! I created a fun spring scene on a 8 1/2" x 10" canvas board featuring the sweet girl from the MFT Doodle Garden Springtime Wishes stamp set along with a variety of Die-namics dies. I started by covering the canvas board using tissue paper and coloring with gelatos.

I stamped the little sweetie on a piece of Blending Card as well as a piece of patterned paper. I colored the image and paper pieced her dress. She is standing in front of a white fence made using Die-namics Lattice Fence. The grass was made using Die-namics Grassy Edges.

She is flying a kite that was die cut using Die-namics Jumbo Kite:

Nothing like a sunshiny spring day to fly a kite ;) I combined a few dies to create the sun: Die-namics Award Seal, Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layers STAX and Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX:

I stamped a sentiment from MFT Big Greetings and created puffy clouds using Die-namics Jumbo Cloud STAX.

I wanted to add texture so I die cut a doily using a Die-namics Dizzy Doily Duo die and used as a stencil as I applied a mixture of texture paste and white acrylic paint over the die cut. The white random dots all over the canvas were stamped using white acrylic paint along with a stamp from MFT LJD Darling Dots and the random text was stamped using a stamp from MFT DC First Class Friend.

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my canvas as much as I enjoyed creating it! Remember to check out the MFT Blog for a list of all participating designers who have put their MFT stamps and Die-namics dies to work to create a scene for you to enjoy.
Be Sweet :)
