MFT Creative Challenge - NO Coloring!

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by my blog today!  Today the MFT design team is banding together for the monthly Creative Challenge and this month, the theme is NO COLORING.  I had just tried this recently, so I set out with some confidence and went with it.  It's not something I'd do every day, but every now and then, it can be refreshing to try something different.  

First, a word from MFT:
In 2011, MFT is working harder than ever to inspire you, and we have come up with something we think you'll really enjoy. Our Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we challenge our design team to explore their creative side using a specific theme, product, or technique. This month, we're all making cards featuring No Coloring!   Visit Kim's Blog for a full list of designers that have taken up the challenge!


I decided to ink up the sweet Pure Innocence Little Witch for my card.  She is just TOO cute and I was itching to get inky again.  Although I wasn't going to color her, I wanted to do something a *little* special so I decided to stamp her in Brilliance Graphite Black, and clear emboss her to add a little pizazz.


I added a cute little sentiment tag using the Notched Tag Die-namics.  I also snuck the Woodgrain Fence in there.  I just can't get enough of that thing!  



I used the tiny pennant from the Mini Pennants Die-namics and spelled out BOO using the Typewriter Alphabet.  The key here is to add enough so that you card isn't boring, without making it too busy.  It's a fine line... LOL



I added a black branch near the top of the card to balance it out a bit.  



I finished off the inside as well, adding a sentiment to the Ticket Tab and stamping the image over some cute polka dot paper.



Thanks for joining me.  Here is a linked list of most of the supplies I used on this card.  See you soon!

  5. Your non-colored card is fantastic! The papers and design give it a rustic, vintage feel and the plain, stamped, embossed image on the kraft c.s. looks perfect! :)

  18. Such a cute card. For someone like me who has not yet tried coloring with Copics this is a perfect challenge. I love the PI stamps but was reluctant to buy them since I wasn't sure how they would look not colored. Perfect challange to "convince" me to to try some out.
