December Creative Challenge-Background Building

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 do some background building using our MFT Stamps and Die-namics.  Be sure to check out the MFT Blog for a list of all participating designers who have a project to share with you today. 



For my card I used the Harlequin Border Die-namics along with Wild Cherry, Jellybean Green, and Fossil cardstock to create my background. I then layered them on Sweet Tooth cardstock. My sentiment is from the Seasonal Sentiments set, and was stamped with Jellybean Green ink on the Textile Rectangle Frame Die-namics. I then cut out my wreath using the Winter Wreath Die-namics and my cardstock colors of Jellybean Green and Wild Cherry. I cut out three of the wreaths and two bows to add dimension. I used a brad from Michael's to pull it all together, as well as a bow using Kraft ribbon.


For the inside, I used more of the same supplies.

Here are the Die-namics I used:




Well that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!! Be sure to check out the My Favorite Things blog to see a full list of designers participating in today's challenge!
