Warning--long post! MFT Camp Create is always fun & I've made 4 cards.
Day 1: Wonderful Watercolor
The background was made with Color Burst powders Ultramarine Blue & Pthalo Green mixed with water & applied to watercolor paper with a flat brush. I also splattered both colors & die cut the panel with MFT In & Out Stitched Rounded Squares. The panel was inlaid into a gray square. MFT Peaceful Wildflowers were stamped in Versafine Claire Morning Mist, heat embossed in JudiKins Iridescent Sparkle powder & die cut. The sparkle is beautiful in person.
I arranged the bouquet & added a silver floss bow before attaching it to the panel & stamping the sentiment from the same set. I'm also entering

Day 2: Remarkable Resist
I love emboss resist, but wanted to do something a little different. I white embossed MFT Geometric Grid Background leaving some areas not completely stamped. I taped the 2 MFT retired Chevron dies together & die cut multiple times until the entire panel was cut. Didn't realize when I started, by taping the 2 dies together I also got a 3rd very thin chevron with each pass. I kept all the die cuts in order on a piece of masking paper & then blended Distress Inks as close as I could get to the
MFT Color Challenge, attaching them to a kraft panel as I went.
The gold foiled sentiment was done with MFT retired letter dies cut from adhesive backed fun foam & I added gold sequins filled with gold Stickles. I'm also entering

Day 3: Spectacular Shakers
Fun to use the MFT circle pouches to make a shaker--no foam tape required. The card front was blended with Distress Inks victorian velvet, seedless preserves & aged mahogany & the shaker was backed with a black cardstock scrap. More retired products used for this card: Dizzy Doily die & On The Line sentiment. To make it more festive, I heat embossed the doily with JudiKins Diamond Sparkle powder--so beautiful in person.
I found a little unlabeled bag of just the right sequins in my stash & couldn't resist adding some black splatters. I'm also entering

Day 5: Glitzy Glitter
You knew there'd be a Christmas card eventually, right?! I had fun using MFT Christmas Tree Window die, a prize I won at
The Snippets Playground. I used DCWV glitter paper--hard to die cut, but very pretty sparkle.
The pink was a scrap--just the right size. The black frame is MFT Stitched Oval Scallop Frames, the sentiment is from MFT Trim the Tree & I added black splatters & clear gems. I'm also entering
