Stephen Kropf: MFT Release Countdown

Hi Friends!

Welcome to the My Favorite Things August Release Countdown. Over the next 2 days, I will be showcasing a variety of amazing new goodies that will be available in the MFT online shop on Tuesday August 10th @ 10am

Today I created a Fall themed card that showcases the cute "Outdoor Adventures" stamp set and the versatile "Little Leaves" background stamp.

I started by stamping out some of the images from the Outdoor Adventures stamp set, colouring them up using Copic markers and then cutting them out using the coordinating Die-namics.

I created a simple and quick background by water colouring the sunset and water using Distress Oxides and then stamping some of the grasses from the stamp set using Oxide inks as well.

Next I die cut out my newly created scene using the A2 double stitched STAX Die-namics

I had some fun trying a technique I saw Kristina Werner do on her YouTube channel a few weeks ago.

I applied Distress Oxides in various shades onto the Little Leaves background stamp, spritzed it with water and then stamped it onto some watercolour card. The ink bleeds out and it kinda gives is a washed out feel. Next you reapply the ink to the stamp (You don't have to apply the colours in the same area) and then this time just stamp it without spritzing with water.

I had so much creating this card and trying out a new technique.

See you tomorrow for the final day of the MFT August release countdown
