MFT Camp Create Day 1: Inlay made easy!

Hola!

Have you ever tried to make a card and every time you touched it you wrecked it?
Yeap..that was me today!


I was watching YouTube and found the
MFT Camp Create 2017 Week video. 

AMAZING!

Each day this week they share a technique and 
if you take part in the challenge you could win a gift card!!!

Anyway...I love MFT so I said...why not?

The video I watched today was for day 1 of the Summer Camp. 
The technique was "Inlay"
I have seen Jennifer Macguire do 
a million of them, but alas I had never tried them.


So this is my first attempt at doing the INLAY technique!
I really liked it, I mail all my cards so I try not to add too much bulk,
 so this technique is great for me!!


After the inlay...I added Wink of Stella...it went downhill from there!!!

I thought I was doing well until....wink of stella just blobbed all over my card, and the white gel pen reacted with the wink of stella, then the black NUVO drops weren't dry....and apparently at some point I had black Versafine ink on my fingers!

This is the inside of the card!

Goodies used:
MFT Snuggle Bunnies Stamp set
DIE: Flop Card die
Washi
LOTS and LOTS of Wink of Stella
NUVO drops - Black 
White Gel Pen Signo Broad Uni-Ball

I tried to fix it the best I could.
I am very proud of myself for trying a new technique.
I am sending this card to a new friend/customer.
Char -I hope you like it!
She is very nice and I really hope she likes it!

Please join me on this short Summer Camp adventure!!! 
The deadline to upload images for the 7 day event is Thursday, August 24, 2017.
For more details visit the MFT Blog

It is what it is...a card made with love
and inky fingers!!

With this card I earned the following badge!
I hope you enjoyed it :)
