MFT & Friends March Release!

16 Mar

Good morning!  MFT Stamps has a brand new release available now and I’m excited to be guesting for the release!  When I saw the new Birdie Brown Spring Gnomes set I fell head over heels!! I paired it with one of my favorite sets from last year: Hanging with My Gnomies to create this cheery spring scene!

Spring Gnomes by Jessica Frost-Ballas for MFT Stamps

The bunny gnome with the carrots just gets me every time I look at him!!  I started by stamping a bunch of images from Spring Gnomes and Hanging with My Gnomies with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I colored them with copic markers and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies.

Then I created my background by blending tumbled glass, salty ocean, and blueprint sketch distress oxide ink over the Rolling Clouds stencil.  I also blended twisted citron, mowed lawn, and lucky clover distress oxide ink to create my ground.  I splattered the ground with watered down lucky clover and mowed lawn ink and set it aside to dry.  Once it was totally dry I die-cut it with the Slimline Grassy Hill dies.  I fussy cut a path from the house and colored it with copic markers.  Then I assembled my scene on a top folding card base and finished the card with a few white gel pen accents! I just love all the carrot tops and the cheery daffodils!  It definitely gets me in the mood for spring!

Make sure to head to the MFT Stamps blog for lots more inspiration using the new release and you can find the full release HERE!  Thanks so much for stopping by and happy shopping!
