Sweet Sloths Archives | Creative Pixie Designs

Happy weekend crafty friends! I wanted to share a sweet little sloth card featuring the MFT Sweet Sloths images
for the current sketch challenge on the MFT blog.

Unfortunately, this set is retired, but with MFT’s Vault releases opening up, you never know, this set might come back.

I began by stamping one of the sloth images onto a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black
dye ink and colored it in with Copic Markers.

For the background, I blended Distress Oxide ink in Mermaid Lagoon onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock focusing on
the upper half of the panel. I splattered the panel with water and blotted it dry with a paper towel.

Using a stitched scallop edge frames die, I die cut several pieces of white cardstock so that I can stack them
for a bit of dimension. At this point, I began adhering all of the components to a white card base using
foam tape and liquid adhesive.

Hey everyone,

I used this cute little sloth to create a card for my entry in MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge-Sketch 346 for this week.

MFT Sweet Sloth birthday card colored with Copic markers and patterned paper handmade card.

I started by stamping all of my images from MFT’s Sweet Sloths stamp set onto a piece of Spectrum Noir paper using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink. I used both of the clouds, one of the flower images and of course the sweet little sloth.
Using my Copic markers, I colored all of the images using the following combinations:
Sloth and tree: E42, E43, E44 and E47
In the tree branch, I added more of the E47 for a darker look
Leaves: YG11, YG13 and YG17
Small flowers: C1 and Y19
Large flower: Y19, RV11, RV14 and RV17
Cloud: BG0000 and B00

Next, I did a little ink smooshing using Distress Ink in Twisted Citron onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and die cut it using a stitched circle die.

Working on the large panel, I used a piece of patterned paper from American Crafts Everyday paper pad collection and a Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies from Pink and Main, which I wrapped a piece of black and white twine and adhered it to a top folding A2 size card base.

To complete this card, I layered the circle on top of the panel and arranged all my images using foam squares for some added dimension. I used a sentiment from the stamp set, which I heat embossed onto a piece of black cardstock and white embossing powder. Adding a few pieces of sequence and some shimmer from Wink of Stella glitter pen for a little sparkle finished the card. As always, thanks for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!
