SPEEDY FOX & FRIEND CHALLENGE 276

This week's challenge is to create a card using Candles as the theme.

Here is my card:
 

For my card this week, my candles were made using Washi tape on a piece of cardstock and then cut to size.  The flames were actually leaves from a die cut from Impression Obsession called Bird on a Branch and I used an orange colored pencil to highlight them.  They were then adhered to a background piece of cardstock that was cut with a stitched die from My Favorite Things Blueprints 15 and I added the bow to tie them together.  The sentiment is from the Background Diamond and Flowers stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop.

I hope you'll join us this week, you can find the challenge HERE.

SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE 274

This week's challenge is to create a card using baker's twine.

Here is my card:
 

This week's card was really fun to create.  I used three different designer papers and stamps from the Dear Santa stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop.   Santa and HO! HO! HO! were all stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and Santa was colored with Copic markers.  I also used a Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush on the hat  but unfortunately that doesn't show.  The circles that Santa is on were cut from the Spellbinder Circle and Picot Edge Circle dies and adhered with dimensionals.  The baker's twin was wrapped around the striped designer paper for the finishing touch.

SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE 271

This week's challenge is to create a card with a beach scene.
 
Here is my card:
 

I don't really have any beach type images so I improvised.  For my card, I created the beach scene by tearing some strips of paper for the sand and water.  I stamped the crane from the Birds of the Orient stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the beak and legs with a Copic marker.  The palm tree was cut from my Cricut, the "Beach Time" was cut from an alphabet die set and the large circle was cut from a Spellbinders circle.  I didn't have anything to use as sea shells so I added few sequins instead.  The front panel was then added using dimensions.

I hope you'll join us this week, you can find the challenge HERE.

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

For my card this week I started off by embossing my background with an Anna Griffin Matelassé embossing folder.  I stamped the hydrangea with Versamark ink and embossed it in white embossing powder, colored the petals with a Copic marker and then fussy cut it out.  The sentiment was also stamped with Versamark ink, embossed with white embossing powder and cut out with a Spellbinders die called Vintage Sentiment Tag Dies from JustRite Papercrafts.  Both the hydrangea and the sentiment were then adhered using pop dots.   The hydrangea is from the Hydrangea stamp set and the sentiment is from the Animal Birthdays stamp set both from  MFP Stamp Shop.
