MFT Color Challenge #212 and FMS587 Sketch Challenge



Made this card using the colors for the MFT Color Challenge. Am entering this for both that challenge and the Sketch Challenge at FMS. I stamped, colored and fussy-cut the beer stein and pretzels, then used dies to cut the circles, numbers and sentiment. The background was embossed as well as each of the circles. Please note how well the embossing matches up - this was no easy feat! Trying to figure out exactly where the embossed circles fit on the background was quite the challenge. I wish I would've planned the layout better because then I would've embossed four 4.25 x 5.5 panels, then cut one circle and use the negative to place the embossed circle on top of the background. Sigh. Next time will be easier! 

Also, I was very excited that I own the inks that matched the Color Challenge, but I only had 2 of the colors of card stock. Thankful that MFT had all the matching color card stock I needed in stock so that I could take advantage of the 40% off sale. Woo-hoo!

Thanks for stopping by!

FMS587

I started making the card for my daughter's 21st birthday by stamping a bunch of beer stein and pretzel images. I then colored them all with copics, and fussy-cut each one. I used Glossy Accents for the glass and a SNO paint pen for the foam (it bubbles up when you heat emboss it!). I then saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches which inspired me to use this radiant rainbow bubble paper for the background on my card.  I love the bright colors of this really fun paper pack. Thanks to FMS for the inspiration!
