ADD SOME SPARKLE

It's Monday and that usually meant it was time for a MFP FOSTV Challenge.  Unfortunately it's been cancelled but I thought I would share with you a card I had created.

Talk about sparkle, this card is loaded with it.  I created a center step card and used the Spellbinder Flower Power Decorative Inserts dies to create the flower images.  Lines were drawn from each flower to the center of the card.  The Lotus Blossom stamp is from the Flower Blocks set from  MFP Stamp Shop which was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copic markers, cut out and then adhered to the center of the card.  I used my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush on each of the flowers and then added rhinestones to each flower center.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful crafty week.

SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE 259

This is my first week joining the MFP Stamp Shop Speedy Fox & Friends Design Team and I am very excited, thank you for stopping by.  This week's challenge is to create a card only using the center of your top layer.

Here is my card:

 

 

For the base of my card I used the Darice Butterfly Frame embossing folder and thought the butterfly stamp from the Cracked Hello set and the sentiment from the Birds of the Orient set all from  MFP Stamp Shop would be perfect.  The butterfly was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink once on the card and then I stamped it again, colored with Copic markers, cut it out and then attached it on top with dimensionals.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I used the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush on the butterfly but unfortunately it doesn't show.



I  hope you'll play along with us this week, you can find the Challenge HERE. 

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful week.

ORIENTAL SKETCH CHALLENGE #75

 

Last Oriental Sketch Challenge

This will be the last MFP Oriental Sketch Challenge as it will be cancelled.  Our last challenge will be using this sketch:

Here is my card:

 

For this card I chose the KOI Fish stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop and the KOI embossing folder from Cuttlebug.  The KOI were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.  The stitched circle was cut from a My Favorite Things Blueprints 3 die set and the center strip was embossed with the Cuttlebug Tiny Mosaic Texture embossing folder that I thought looked like bubbles.

Even though this is the last Oriental Sketch challenge please play along this week.  You can find the challenge HERE.

I thought I would share with you another card that I had created for the design team.



 

This card was created using stamps from the Birds of the Orient stamp set and for the grass I used just the tips of one of the tree stamps from the Tree Greetings stamp set.  All stamps are from MFP Stamp Shop.  With the exception of the grass all images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The grass was stamped with New Leaf ink from Papertrey Ink and sponged with Shabby Shutters Distress ink.



Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful week.

FOSTV163 - CREATURES OF THE NIGHT

Last FOSTV Challenge

The last challenge at Friends of Speedy TV is to create a card featuring Creatures of the Night.

Here is my card:

 

 

I really enjoyed this week's challenge and had a lot of fun creating this card.  I chose the moon and the sentiment from the Sun and Moon set and the owl from the Owls set all from MFP Stamp Shop.  The moon was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.  The owl was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copic markers and cut out.  I then cut Spellbinders Picture Perfect die first with brown cardstock, then again with green, red, blue, yellow and white so I could piece it together to create the grass and houses.  It took a little longer than I thought it would but I really like the finished  look.  I used a Copic marker to color the sky and then added the owl which was adhered with dimensionals.

Even though this is the last FOSTV challenge please play along this week.  You can find the challenge HERE. 

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful week.

ORIENTAL SKETCH CHALLENGE #74

Here is my card:

 

 

This week there isn't much stamping but I am happy with the outcome.  The image is from MFP Stamp Shop Asian Delights set.  It was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink, cut out and mounted with dimensionals on top of a piece of designer paper from the Graphic 45 Birdsong collection which I thought was a perfect match of the Asian embossing folder from Spellbinders.

For my card this week I chose stamps from two sets; the Sun is from the Sun and Moon set and the sentiment is from the Roses set both from MFP Stamp Shop.  The sun was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copic markers, cut out and adhered to the Peony Spellbinders die with dimensionals.  The Peony die was sponged with Mustard Seed Distress ink.  The scallops were cut from one of the dies from the Blueprints 3 die set from My Favorite Things.
