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.



Power Poppy

 

 

 

 

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.

 

This image is digital, which is very nice when your are traveling, like me.  Although, I am still getting the hang of printing them.  I know how to print just one, but in the case where I want more on the page......well, I need more practice. 

 

Here is the very long recipe for this card.

CS - GKD Navy, Cherry Red, White and Fresh Asparagus

Digital Tulips from Power Poppy

Spellbinders dies, scalloped Circles and Timeless Rectangles(partial cut)

Lil' Inkers stitched circles

EF - Wicker Weave

Simon Says die BE and stamp set

Liquid Pearls

Distressed markers to color the Tulips, Barn Door, Festive Berries, Shabby Shutters ad Mowed Lawn

I hope that I didn't forget anything! 

Thanks for your comments, if you care to leave any, I certainly do appreciate them.

 

 

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!
