I played with some MME Vintage Christmas paper this week, an image from Flourishes that was on my desk, the wonderful Textured Background from MFT and a sentiment from MFT's Pretty Poppies set.  The dies from Blueprints Four made it so easy to put together!!

MFT Elf's Blueprints Challenge - 4.3

Hi everyone!  Here I am with this week's MFT Elf's Blueprints Challenge using Blueprints Four.  YAY!

Here's our sketch for this week...  Blueprints Four - Sketch Three

I rotated the sketch this week, cuz I wanted to play with some of my new toys from MFT. : )  I just love the MFT paper and ink.  If you haven't tried it, you REALLY need to!  The papers I used were Paver Red, Nightshift Blue, Whip Cream and Natural.  Oh, I LOVE the natural ink.  It is PERFECT for sponging edges.  Love, love, love it!  Then I got to use the Textile Background stamps and a sentiment from the gorgeous Fall Foliage set.  The twine and buttons are MFT, but the oval isn't... SHhhhhh.. ; )

Here's our Blueprints 3 sketch for the week...

I made my sample today using the Blueprints 3 dies and the Cheerful Blessings Set, from the MFT shoppe, and some Graphic 45 Secret Garden paper from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

 Thanks for following along on my Blueprints journey.  Feel free to play along if you'd like! :)

So... here's the details!

* Post the card to your SCS gallery (keyword:  MFTBP3) or blog then link your project with the inlinkz widget below... no thumbnail pictures, sorry... I'm just using the free text only one!! ;)

*  Anyone who completes the  four sketches of the Blueprint of the Month and links them by Saturday, November 2nd at 8:00 PM CST, will be in a drawing for a elf-sized mystery prize from me.  (I also have an elf-sized income, so it's just for fun... nothing spectacular!!)

Here's our Blueprints 2 sketch for the week...

I was playing along with the HYCCT Mixed Media challenge with this card, and I wanted to be as UNmessy as possible, so I stamped the orange background in with an old SU background stamp in Versamark ink and then used pastels over it to bring out the color.  I inked the flower and sentiment from Peaceful Wildflowers for my focal image and added some Spica Pen to the edge of the oval.  Hopefully I mixed my medias enough!! :)  ACCK!  I just realized that I switched the orientation of my oval... OOPS!  Let's just call it creative license!!

 I hope you'll be able to play along this week!  I can't wait to be inspired by you! :)

I really had a hard time deciding how to fill the blank canvas, but I wanted to play along with one of the Hope You Can Cling To challenges to use boots on your card, so this sweet little Pure Innocence Snow Angel Bear seemed to be calling my name.  I flipped the sketch on its side and colored the image with copics.  i even dug out my Stickles to add some bling! :)
