mft sketch challenge 619

Raise your hand if your week could use a little more crafty time? Me too! Please allow me to recommend joining in the MFT Weekly sketch because that's what I'm doing and I know it works to brighten my day!

Here's this week's sketch...

And here's the card I made...

I started by lightly stamping the tree from Mod & Merry in Distress Oxide Cracked Pistachio. I used the image as a guide to mask off the tree shape so I could ink blend in Cracked Pistachio and make a background for the stamp.

I removed the tape and let it dry before stamping the tree again with Salvaged Patina ink. 

I added a few stamped stars (also from the Mod & Merry set) and a little faux splatter with a pen.

Then I created the sentiment with "Happy Holidays" from the Mod & Merry set and "fa la la" using the Modern Serif Alphabet. To get the right colored cardstock for each letter, I swiped my Distress Oxide pads on white cardstock and let dry before die cutting.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
