MFT Sketch Challenge #2 - Birthday Wishes

 MFT Weekly Sketch challenge #2 in the works! I'm here for it! Since the last challenge I have purchased another MFT stamp set.....however it was retired in 2014! :/ Well, it is what it is! LOL


Today's card started with a clean white panel which was die cut with a rectangle from the scallops and rectangles nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co. I do not have any large oval shapes at all! How is that possible?! So what does any good crafter do....I made one! I cut an oval on my Cricut and used it as a stencil! I ink blended some Gina K Designs premium dye ink in a gradient fashion....colors used are grass green, fresh asparagus, peach bellini, dusty rose and lovely lavender. Next I took the cut out piece and secured it to the ink blended oval and covered the bottom portion with Versa Fine Clair Nocturne. To that I added some water droplets, and then some watered down distress spray oxide in Picket Fence


To that oval I added some lovely silhouetted wildflowers from the Peaceful Wildflowers set using the same versafine clair in nocturne. The banner at the top stumped me and I had to leave it for 24 hours to think about it! When I came back to it, I thought about just adding some twine in different colors....then I remembered some fibers in my stash that would be perfect! Hence the "flag" fibers used to finish off the top. The sentiment is also from the same Peaceful Wildflowers set. I stamped it onto cardstock with VersaFine Clair in Nocturne, added some clear embossing powder and used a punch from Stampin Up. I added a couple tiny brass brads to give some dimension and added it to the card front with foam tape
