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

This week's Oriental Sketch Challenges #74 uses this sketch:

 

 

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.

FOSTV162 - TRI FOLD CARD

This week our challenge at Friends of Speedy TV is to create a Tri Fold Card and you'll see that our Design Team has come up with a number of ways to create a tri fold card.  I chose to make a Tri Fold Pocket card.  This was the first time I've made one, it was a lot of fun and I will be making more of them.

Here is my card:

 

 

 

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.     

I hope you'll play along with us this week.  You can find the Friends of SpeedyTV challenge HERE.

Here is my card:

 

This week I chose the Asian Delights set from MFP Stamp Shop.  The Geisha was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.  After stamping and coloring I created a mask of the image and sponged Shabby Shutters Distress ink over the square.  A piece of Washi paper and adhered and the image was placed on top.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  The Cherry Blossoms die is from Cheery Lynn Designs and I used the smallest one to create the flowers which were edged with Gold 3D stamp-paint and a gold rhinestone was added to the center.

FOSTV161 - SPRING COLORS

This week our challenge at Friends of Speedy TV is to create a card using spring colors and I am so looking forward to spring.       

 

Here is my card:

 

For my card this week I chose a designer paper for my background that reminded me of spring.  I used one of the flowers from the new stamp set called Gardenia which was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copic markers and then cut out and I added dimensionals to pop it up.  The sentiment is from the Chrysanthemum set and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  All stamps are from MFP Stamp Shop.  The circles were cut from Spellbinders and My Favorite Things dies and the small label is also a Spellbinder die.   

I hope you'll play along with us this week.  You can find the Friends of SpeedyTV challenge HERE.
