Jewelry with MFT...and your chance to win!

It's the second Monday of the month!! Time for Jewelry with MFT! This project is a versatile project which you can change around. It is an interchangeable bracelet by Amate Studios. I am giving you two views of each interchangeable component.

For this bracelet, I used MFT's Bling Bet for the lettering, along with some black UTEE, micro beads, Swarovski Crystals and Glossy Accents. The one thing you cannot tell in the picture is the background on the black UTEE. I stamped the UTEE using Stampendous Faux Background stamp to create some texture. However, I have learned that you lose the look of that texture once you add the Glossy Accents. It did keep the "wavy" look of it and still kept the simple fun look overall. This bracelet can be used to decorate anything that strikes your mood or another really fun monogram look. In order for the Bling Bet lettering to fit, I used my scanner to shrink the stamped image to size before attaching it to the component. Below is another used of the component and a much more simplified version:

For this oval component, I used the MFT's set of It's a Jungle Out There with the Giraffe as the main animal focus. I once again used my scanner to shrink it to size and then completed it with stamping the leaves and grass in the set to create my scene. I colored in the image with my Copics and glued the cardstock to the component before filling in the entire component with Ranger's Glossy Accents. Let dry and enjoy!! Simple and fun and with many possibilities!! For COMPLETE instructions, you can find it here and here in a PDF file so that you can try it out!! Be sure to check out MFT's store to purchase your own components!! BUT! Do you want to try creating your own jewelry? You can win it here!
