MFT Sketch Challenge.....Birthday Wishes

Happy Friday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch challenge this week at the MFT Challenge Blog.

I love this sweet little Pure Innocence girl called Happy Banner.

I colored her with my copic markers.

I decide to color her banner to match some Sahara Sand card stock so I could use that as my base.

I did end up using some Concord Crush card stock for the base and the Sahara Sand for the next layer.

I added a Concord Crush circle and a Wisteria Wonder banner behind the little girl. She is added to the card with foam tape. I die cut a few small stars and added them with foam tape as well.

The Birthday Wishes is from a retired SU set.

Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Stamping!!!

MFT, Color Throwdown......hello

Happy Wednesday peeps!!

I am off work today and it is a rainy/stormy day so I decided to play a bit at my stamp table.

I looked at the MFT Card Challenge Blog and found a fun sketch:

and I also used the Color Throwdown Challenge:

As you can see I turned the sketch on its side. I started with some white card stock cut at 4 x 5 1/4 inches.

 I rounded the top corners and then used a stencil to add a bit of color to the white piece. I used some so saffron ink and a sponge dauber over the stencil.

The roses are cut using Cherry Cobbler card stock and the MFT mini hybrid heirloom rose die.

I used some Pear Pizzazz card stock for the flourish leaf swirl. I then added a few small so saffron flowers around the roses.

The hello is die cut several times, and glued together using Early Espresso card stock. the base of the card is Early Espresso as well.

I really love that hello die!! I finished it up with three enamel dots in the top corner as per the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by today!

MFT Sketch........Happy Hello Beautiful

Happy Friday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week on the MFT Challenge Blog.

I did take a bit of creative license with the sketch, but I think you can see the basic sketch in may card.

I had been playing around again with my water coloring and I used the same technique that I used on my last card. I had this BG piece already made up and decided to use it on my card.

I used the MFT Happy Hello dies, I die cut the hello out of the bg piece and layered some white cardstock behind it. I then cut another hello out of some white card stock. I embedded this hello into the BG and then used the negative pieces from the BG hello to fill in. Does that make sense? I am sure you all know how this works. I die cut my hello at an angle to mimic the angle in the sketch.

I used the MFT Pure Innocence Happy Banner. I stamped and die cut her out and then colored using my copic markers.

The Be You {Tiful} sentiment is from the Stampin Up Flower Patch stamp set.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock. 

I finished the card off with a few enamel dots.

MFT Sketch Challenge.......Bear Hugs

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

I was playing around with this cute little Pure Innocence stamp from MFT

 called Big Bear Hugs and decided to take a look at this week's MFT Sketch Challenge. 

 I thought my little girl with her bear would be perfect.

I had already colored her so I had to go in search of some matching paper. I found this green piece in my stash, it is some Stampin Up but I don't know which pack it is from. But it has polka dots, and I love polka dots, so I thought it was perfect.

I decided to keep it fairly simple. I used some Kraft card stock for the base and then a layer of white.

I then cut the DSP in the shape of the element on the sketch.

I added a strip of kraft across the DSP and stamped my sentiment on it.

I dropped my block while stamping the sentiment and smudge some black onto the card so out came the sequins to cover the little smear. I contemplated adding something else on the white piece, maybe some embossing or stamping but in the end just kept it simple. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Spring Tulips

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a couple of cards I made using the Spring Tulips stamp set by MFT.

I started out to use the Color Challenge this week on the MFT Card Challenge Blog.

The colors to use were:

I don't have the exact colors and was going to use close to what I have. I then just got carried away while coloring my tulips and used a couple of colors not included in the challenge, so do I link it up over there or not? :/

I do like how the colors looked when coloring on the Kraft card stock. I stamped and masked and stamped again getting three sets of tulips using my black memento ink. I then colored with my copic markers.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and the a layer of basic black and then the main panel is more crumb cake card stock.

I used one of the sentiments in the Spring Tulip set for my card. I stamped with ersmark and then embossed with white embossing powder.

I then stamped a few more tulips onto some white card stock and colored them again with my copic markers.

By this time into my coloring I had totally forgot the color challenge colors and was just coloring some pretty tulips.

I completely colored in the BG as well. Another embossed sentiment  and a few sequins to complete this card.

So which is your favorite? 

Thanks for stopping by today!
