MFT CHALLENGE - WEDNESDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE #211

MFT WEDNESDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE #211

 

This is the first time to enter MFT challenge.  I bought some sweet stamp sets over the holidays and can't resist using them today.  I am thinking about my crafty friends and you all know who I am talking about! lol

 

 

 

 

This is the sketch for this challenge and I am pretty much sticking to it.  I think the DP and the stamp make it perfect.  Here is the recipe for this card.

GKD CS, Fresh Asparagus and White
Design Paper from GKD, Berries and Vines
Lil Inker die, Stitched Tags
Stamp Set, MFT Crafty Friends
PTI die, Hugs

Ok, we are off to do some exploring again today.  So much fun to see what there is out there for us to do when the kids come next week, during our stay here in Florida.
Thanks again for stopping and I do appreciate the comments.

All you need to do to be in the running for Power Poppy of the week is to make a new creations with Power Poppy stamps.

Make it Monday and Simon Says Monday Challenges

Make It Monday #197: Homemade Foam Stickers

 

Simon Says Monday Challenge INKY Background

 

I am combining these two challenges this week in my card. It was easy to do as the Make IT Monday Challenge, required a make it yourself sticker and the Simon Says Monday is an inky background. 

Here is my card.





I started with a base of Sweet Mango from GKD and then a layer of DP from PTI, called Text Style Autumn Abundance.

Next I used a layer of White CS, again GKD, and sponged three inks to get the INKY background.

I used Distressed Mustard Seed, Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade.  Sounds good enough to eat.  That panel was die cut with Lil' Inker stitched rectangle die.

The stamp set is Feather Finery along with matching die.  I cut it out of the same design paper and stamped over it with Charcoal Brown ink.  I also cut the die from Easy-Cut Adhesive to make it a sticker.  After stamping the sentiment from the same stamp set, I added the feather sticker and when some Wink of Stella clear and Gold Stickles.  

Thanks for the inspiration for this card, Laurie!  Love all of the new things that you can do, it is never ending. 

 

I appreciate all of your comments, Seriously!

Make it Monday #195 A La Cart

 

This week at Make It Monday, the challenge to you is to pick one of the weekly videos that you might have missed or did not get a chance to play along with and create a project using that technique or tutorial. I needed a quick birthday card today and this one fit the bill. So easy to do and it lends itself to a masculine card as well. 

 

 

 

This is Nicole Heady's #161 Watercolor Splats.

Here is her card.

 

                                                                      
                                                                  And Here is mine!

I used water color paper by Tim Holtz and his Distressed Ink too.

Then I put dabs of water for the spots.  The greeting is from Wet Paint Stamp set by PTI.

 

I am wrapping up my craft room for the trip to Florida.  It is as much of a cleaning job as it is packing.  I have forgotten most of what I have in my STASH!  So much fun to reminisce, but not very effective when your trying to pack and take only what you may need.  I think I need it all. 

Everyone have a Happy New Year, as you look back over the last year and see what has happened,  and what will come in the new year.   Remember that the new year is a brand new pallet for you to paint/stamp/color on!

Happy New Year!
