MFT 2020 Card Design Superstar • Clean & Simple Genius

Hi again,

so glad I was able to get another card done for the MFT 2020 Card Design Superstar Contest 😅

Here is my card for the Clean & Simple Genius category. I love CAS designs but to be honest I find them not easy to make. I paired this sweet gnome girl from the Birdie Brown Hanging with My Gnomies set with a pretty Mother's Day Bouquet floral image.

I started off with creating a stenciled background using the Oval Extraordinaire Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks in the colors Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac.

Next, I stamped the images (I did the floral arch twice because it fits the oval perfectly) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copics. I cut out the flowers with the coordinating dies and did some fussy cutting for the gnome girl.

The sentiment (From the Heart set) was stamped in VersaMark Ink and I heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. I trimmed the stenciled panel with the second largest die of the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 2 and matted it with Coral Crush Prestige Cardstock. On my A2 card base I adhered the beautiful plaid pattern from the Spring Whimsy 6x6 Paper Pad.

Finally, I assembled my card by adhering everything with liquid glue. I made sure not to add anything else to really keep it clean and simple.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Good luck to everyone!
