MFT Card Design Superstar 2018 - Clean and Simple Genius

Hello Everyone,

I am sure most of you are familiar with the annual MFT Card Design Superstar contest? If you are not, and you like creating with MFT products, check out the details here. 

Truth be told, I have never entered this contest before. I don't consider myself a "superstar", and maybe it's truly this title itself that intimidates me... However, this year, I decided to give it a go. At the end of the day, I lose nothing by entering, right? :o)

I have been practising the CAS (Clean And Simple) style for a while now, and whilst I don't always find myself creating in this style, I have enjoyed the process of trying it out and challenging myself, and I feel that a few of my most recent attempts were pretty decent. I am no longer petrified of the white space, ha! Therefore, against all odds, this is the category I am entering!

And here's the card I made:

I love the colours (which were inspired by my daughter's Duplo blocks!), the texture, the slight bit of dimension, and I am so super proud of myself for placing the little heart and the little bird within the letters "O" - doesn't this little birdie look super cosy there? And this idea goes so well with the theme of the card, which is "New Home"!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Wish me luck!

Have a great day,

Mirella
