Here’s my take on MFT Sketch Challenge #314 and MFT Color Challenge #60!
I arrived home late from a school meeting last night, but still wanted to make something. Our household has been under the weather, and I was behind on creating anything! Ahhh! 🙂
I was itching to inlay something, and of course, the strips of card stock is always a fave of mine to do!
I wasn’t sure how it would look with the strips on an angle, but I like it! It’s getting mailed today!
I rotated the sketch, so the HUGS is the big rectangle, and the nod to the then vertical piece, is my stitching. I couldn’t decide what to do for that element, but I think the stitching turned out fun, albeit a little off from where I intended. Ha! I held my breath as I started stitching, and as I did that little piece at the bottom. I wanted them aligned, and I wasn’t sure where my needle left off! Oh silliness 🙂

Anywho, there you have it! Thanks for stopping by!
I love your interpretation of the sketch. I just recently purchased a Blueprints set and I can see where this would work well with this sketch too. I have just had not time to try much since Christmas.
Your card is so cute. Love the stripes!
Super fun card, Jill! You did an awesome job on the striped inlay and the ziggy zaggy stitching!
Love how you are able to see beyond the obvious sketch and make something new. Great card!
I love it when you get all stripey with your inlay!
Is there anyway you could explain hoe you die the inlay with the strips? I think I have an idea but?? I have this set and I adore this card! Thanks so much!

Hi Liane–(Hopefully this reply comes through 🙂 ) I cut a bunch of card stock strips and paste them well on some plain paper. Then I die cut my item through those strips. After that, I just inlay it all in the die cut. The key to to get those strips glued down good and solid so they lift out like one piece. 🙂 I’ll try and remember to take some in progress photos next time I do it :). Thanks for your comment ❤
