Paper Canteen Creations: My Favorite Things Weekly Sketch Challenge - MFTWSC160

Greetings friends!! I hope you're staying warm wherever you are! It's FRIGID here in the Northeast so it's affording me a bit more time indoors with my babies which gives me a little bit of an opportunity to get to my crafty desk and create with the weekly My Favorite Things weekly sketch challenges! Here is this week's sketch:

I've made mine into a 5x5 creation. And for today's photo purposes it is displayed on a white card base. It is, however, intended for the cover of a paper bag mini-album that I am working on for a friend for her birthday.

I used a melange of papers that I've had in my stash for AGES. I used a theme of teals, blues, oranges and ivory as my color scheme. The album is a winter theme so I kept *mostly* to the cool side of the color wheel. As I said, this creation is 5x5 and I've used the Reel Life stamp and Die-namics together to embellish my album cover. I stamped my sentiment onto the Fishtail Flag Stax and Layers Die-namics. If you don't own these you MUST! I reach for them almost every time I create. They are totally indispensable to your crafty stash.

I used my very favorite MFT flower die - Royal Rose Die-namic here in the center of the main flower. I love the ruffly edge it has!! I then used two Rolled Mum Die-namics placed together for added volume behind the royal rose. I had some fun resin flowers and a felt sticker that went really well with my grouping so I added everything with hot glue to ensure that it stays in place.
