Handmade by Sindhu

Hi everyone!

I’m thrilled to be part of MFT and Friends feature for their fantastic June release!

I made a couple of cards for today’s post .

The first card features ‘You keep me afloat ‘ and ‘Scallop stripe’ stamp sets.

As soon as I saw the scallop background stamp, I knew what I had to use it for. And the cute bunnies and scallops are just so fantastic together.

My second card features the new SY Spa Day stamp set. The images in this set are SO adorable!

I did a lot of masking, colouring , ink blending on this one.

I first,  planned the layout, cut out all the masks and stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo black ink. I covered the images with masks and added the brick wall using MFT English brick wall stencil with Picked Raspberry Distress ink. 

I really didn’t like how the background turned too bright to my liking. I had already started colouring the images too. But I just couldn’t ignore how the background was overpowering the images.

As I was seriously considering throwing the stamped panel away, I got reminded of my white acrylic paint. I diluted the paint a little and applied a coat on the brick wall. I also dabbed some more paint on three sides of the panel to make it more ‘out of focus’ around the edges.

I hope you like the cards I made and will check all gorgeous creations by MFT DT and other Friends joining today.

Hugs…Sindhu.
