{MFT} Creative Challenge

Each month the My Favorite Things designers are challenged to really stretch our creativity and think outside of the box! This month's challenge theme is Round And Round- come up with some fun and different uses of our Circle STAX dies!

 My first card has some artistic flair and I really love how this one turned out! I used coffee filters and cut out various circles with Circle STAX 1 and 2 dies. I then used some OA Sprinklers to 'flick' ink onto the circles- this is messy, so I did it in my garage! You get more of a paint spatter effect this way (you can see on the inside where I did both the flicking and 

 spraying with the pump). I stitched the circles onto my CS, adding a heart die (Hearts A Plenty) and Mini Film Strip die. The sentiments on this card are from the set You Make My Day (this months Triple Scoop set). My CS is Wild Cherry, and I used Black Licorice MFT ink.

My second card was really fun to make as well! I was brainstorming some ideas for uses of the Circle STAX dies and was looking at them all stacked nicely together and thought 'Hey! They look like a Bullseye!'...so that's how this idea came to be ;)

I made an arrow using a die from the set Accent It: Labels and Tabs. An arrow from Lead the Way would have been great, but I don't have that set, so I had to improvise ;) The heart on the end is the smallest from the set Heart STAX. I cut three, scored them down the centre and adhered them all together to be dimensional. The arrow stamp from the set Lollipop Additons: Love was perfect to add to the sentiment. The arrows were stamped in Wild Cherry Ink and the sentiment (from Lovey Dovey Sentiments) was stamped in Black Licorice Ink.
