MFP Stamps Challenge 44

MFP Stamps Challenge 44

(Oct.. 29 - Nov. 4)

 Great news! 

ALL of MFP Challenges are now 

ANYTHING GOES!

Here's my sample card as a design team member 

for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head 
on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

I started this card by sponging inks onto 

GLOSSY cardstock. I used die base inks. After I
let the ink set/dry I stamped 3 images with
VersaMark and black embossed them. I stamped
my sentiment using StazOn. Journey Glaze was
used on each flower for some dimension and shine.

After the glaze dried I added my ribbon and black

twine. I put my layers together and completed the

card by adding a few "dots" embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by and consider following my blog.

I used MFP stamp sets
"Huge Blooms"

Now my card for Day 4

For this card I first picked out my designer

paper and cut it at an angle and attached it to a

piece of white cardstock, leaving a space between

the two so I could stamp my sentiment, 3x, through

the space. I added some ribbon and bow along

edge of the lower piece of designer paper. Then

layered it all on a matching rose colored 

cardstock and then onto the main white card.

I used the stamp set Dogwood Blossoms from MFP.

Now my card for Day 3

This was a fun card to create. I found my cute little turkey

and decided that I needed to paper piece him. I did color

his hat, feet and beak area with Copics. I cut him out and

set him aside until I made my hills, sponging the edges 

with brown ink. I was trying to decide what to do 

with the sky when I found the leafy designer paper. 

I thought that the sky around my house looks like that 

a lot in the Fall. :-) I used a word bubble die cut for the 

Thankful sentiment and added the main sentiment right 

to the "hill". lol THANKS for stopping by! 

I used the stamp set I Am Thankful from MFP.

Now my card for Day 2

Any card that requires my coloring "skills", and I use

that term loosely, it takes me lots of time. This rose

was no exception. I fussy cut it out and raised it up

on my pink checked designer paper, after I added

my sparkly green (yes, it's green) ribbon. I just

added my sentiment to the lower corner and that was it!

I used the stamp set ROSES from MFP.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 317

Tuesday Throwdown
Challenge 317

-Add a Border-

Here's my card for the challenge!

Our sponsor, Conie Fong Art has some super cute 
images. Be sure to go visit them and check them all out.
I picked "Joy To The World" to create my card. 
I just wasn't sure what border, or type of border 
I wanted to use with this cute little penguin. I finally
settled on leafy vine border adding a couple of 
poinsettias in the corner. I colored my little icy 
friend with Copics and embossed the main white
piece of cardstock. The rest was all just different
layers of cardstock. I added a dotted edge/border
around the penguin. I used a sparkle pen to bling
up the snow, furry hat trim and the "JOY". 

Thanks for stopping by and consider "following" my

My card was obviously a very simple one but
I really like how it turned out. I stamped the 
sentiment 3 times, in different colors, stamping
off once each. Then, the main image stamped in 
black. A bit of layering and done. 
I used the stamp set Autumn Glory

***COLOR***

Here's my sample card as a design team member 
for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head 
on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

I rummaged through my paper drawer and found colors
that matched, pretty closely, the colors for the challenge.
Then I needed an idea...ummm...so, I checked through
my die cuts to see what I could use and I found this sun
burst, but then what??? I managed to get my layers set
and then I struggled some more. sigh...Finally after 
going through my MFP stamps I saw the sentiment and
thought, "this will work"...somehow. I found a butterfly
and used Stampin'Up markers to apply ink directly to
the stamp and then I "huffed" a bit of moisture to the 
stamp and ink and STAMPED! 

I like the watercolor look and the soft colors. I added

it to my card using a bit of mounting tape and 

rounding the wings a tad.

***Inspiration***

Here's my sample card as a design team member 
for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head 
on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

It's pretty obvious what inspired me from the photos.
I stamped my sunflower on a tan cardstock and edged
it using a Gold Leafing Pen. I colored the flower with
Copic markers. I stamped my cat and fussy cut it out
and colored the flower and dotted with a gold sparkle
pen. I mounted my layers together then added my cat,
using pop dots. I stamped my sentiment and added
a couple of pearls and that's it!
