SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE 262

This week's challenge is to create a background of inchies.  This is a great way to use up all those scraps.
 

Here is my card:

 

 

What an easy way to create a fun background.  After cutting my scraps into 1" squares it was easy to place them down for the background.  Then I used my score board to score in between each row and along the edge for added interest even though it's a little hard to see.  The flower stamp is from the new Small Flowers set and the sentiment is from an older set called Glad Glads, both from MFP Stamp Shop.  The flower was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers and the sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  The flower was cut out and adhered to the JustRite Custom Die set called Vintage Labels Seven with dimensionals.  

 

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

SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE 261

This week's challenge is to create a card using strips of paper at an angle.  This was a fun and easy challenge.

Here is my card:



 

I started off with a white piece of cardstock and then proceeded to die cut strips of four different colors of cardstock using a die from My Favorite Things Bluebrints 3 die set.  After adhering each of the strips I used a die from Simon Says Stamp called Tri Square to leave an opening for the Mushroom Selections stamp and the Thinking of You sentiment from the Chrysanthemum set all from MFP Stamp Shop.  I laid the striped piece over a folder card and marked each square and then stamped the mushrooms and sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.  The final step was to adhere the striped piece of cardstock on top of the folded card.  

 

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 crafty week.

SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE 260

This week's challenge is to create a card with Rick Rack.  This was a fun challenge as I had never created my own rick rack out of paper and I will definitely be doing it again. 

Here is my card:

 

 

For my card I chose three different colors of cardstock that I thought went well together.  After creating the rick rack I adhered it to my card base.  For my stamps I chose the larger Gardenia from the Gardenia stamp set and I chose the sentiment from the Roses stamp set both from MFP Stamp Shop.  The Gardenia was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and only the leaves were colored with Copic markers.  I cut it out and attached it with dimensionals.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I used the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush on the Gardenia but unfortunately it doesn't show.

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.

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.
