MFTeaser and ATS Wednesday Challenge

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I have two things to share with you today! First is another MFTeaser. I made this card with the sets Nature Calls and What's Your Sign?. Both will be released tonight! The layout is Cindy's MFT Sketch #42. I stamped, colored and cut out a second backpack and mounted it over the first with dimensionals. I drew in the grass line and sponged Old Olive ink around the circle. I used Karen Foster mini screw brads on the signs. The patterned paper is Garden Party by My Mind's Eye.


Tonight is the MFT New Release Cocktail Party from 9-11 pm EST at the MFT Forum on SCS. There will be more MFTeasers, prizes, and you can find out how YOU can be the next Guest Designer! I have had such a great time being the GD this month -- I can't believe it's almost over! I can't thank Kim and the DT enough for choosing me!!! :)

The second card I have to share is for today's ATS Wednesday Challenge. I'll tell you, these colors really had me stumped -- I just didn't know where to go with them. Finally, I came up with something -- my first acetate card! I followed the SCS tutorial found HERE.

I used the C.C. Designs set Beautiful Butterflies, and I inked the image with SU! markers. The scalloped edge on the artichoke panel was cut with Fiskars decorative scissors. I added Primas, half pearls, and organdy ribbon. There is also a panel inside for a sentiment or handwritten message.

If you want to play along with the color challenge, use keyword ATSDTC12 when uploading to a public gallery. Design Team samples should be posted to the ATS Blog later on -- you can leave a link to your project there, too!

I hope you'll be back tomorrow -- my week of previews continues! It's time to start unveiling the C.C. Designs August releases -- you're gonna LOVE 'em!!!!! Thanks so much for stopping by today -- I really do appreciate it!

Beautiful cards, Christina! I love the flowers you used on the first one and am always on the lookout for pretty ones like that! If you have time, could you let me know what brand they are?

Thanks!
