Mama Elephant: Happiness

Hello everyone! Lunar New year is coming up and was inspired to make a themed card. Mama Elephant has come out with many Lunar New Year stamp sets. Today I used Lion Dance and Lunar Bunnies to create my card. I used Copics to color my images. I then die cut from Mama Elephants Eyelet Frames the middle size with 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock. I ink blended with mustard seed and fossilized amber. The then used red cardstock and stamped MFTs Bundles or Blossom background stamp to hitch I heat embossed with gold embossing powder by Ranger.

I hope you like my card!

Pretty Pink Posh: Coffee & Tea

Hello everyone! I am waiting for my new goodies to come from Simon Says Stamp, so I searched my stash of stamps to get some inspiration. I stumbled on Pretty Pink Posh Winter Drinks which I’ve had for a while but have not used; I thought let’s play with it. I thought of making a pattern paper out it by stamping all the drink images then repositioning them to fill in the gaps of white area. I used my copic markers to color the images in. I used one of the sentiments from the set to heat emboss white on black cardstock.I hope you like my card!

MFT Sketch Challenge 706

Hello everyone! I’m here with another card challenge from My Favorite Things stamp. I automatically thought rainbow strips. I thought what could go with rainbow strips so I looked into my Stacy of stamps and Magical Unicorn came spoke to me for the rainbow. It help that one of the sentiment on the set has rainbow in it. For the rainbow strips I cut out out 1/4 inch strips from Neenah 80lb solar white and used distress inks in wilted violet, barn door, ripe persimmon, squeezed lemonade, salty ocean, and twisted citron to ink blend. I used similar copic colors to color the unicorn’s hair. I used spectrum noir sparked in crystal clean to put a bit of glitter.i hope you like my card!

Altenew: Just for You

Hello! I have a new card for you today using Altenew products. I recently received my haul from doodlebugswa. They had an amazing New Year sale that’s still going on. Go check it out! I got some Altenew crisp dye ink cubes to try and thought I would use it with this stamp bundle. The Build-a-Garden Lovely Rose Peony bundle includes the stamp set, stencils, and I added the die set. I used the sugared candies crisp dye and green meadows ink set. They blend very well. The background I used Darcie embossing folder with some pumice stone distress ink blending. I embellished with some gold pearls.

I hope you like my card!

Lawn Fawn Challenge: Let’s Celebrate

Hello! I’m here with another challenge! This time for Lawn Fawn.

My interpretation is more love themed. I used Lawn Fawn Chirpy Chirp Chirp stamp set for the little chicks and Conversational Add-on stamp set for the bundle of hearts. I colored the images in with my Copic markers. I used Lawn Fawn Lacy rectangle Stackables in the second largest die to cut a rectangle. For the background I used distress ink in worn lipstick to ink blend some color. I used red cardstock and a dotted embossing folder from Darcie for the outside larger paper.

I hope you like it!

MFT: Sudsational

Hello everyone! It has been awhile since my last post. I want to get back into posting the cards I make. Today I have a card for MFT (My Favorite Things Stamp) challenge. It is a color challenge using that colors:

Color challenges are difficult for me; I don’t think in colors. I rampaged through my stash of MFT stamps to see if I could visualize something. When I saw BB Bubble Over with Joy I imaged a scene where I could use these colors. I used my Gina Marie scalloped stitch rectangle die to die cut two pieces of 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock. One of the pieces I used MFT grassy boarder die to cut along the bottom piece of the rectangle. I then used distress inks in the colors Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn to ink the grass area. On the second rectangle piece I used cloud stencil with distress ink in the color Tumble Glass. I then used a sun ray stencil with the distress color Mustard Seed. I stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock with MFT Extreme Black ink which is alcohol ink friendly. I used my copic markers to color my images. Fur: E44, E43, E41. Dress: BG15 BG13 BG 32. Bubbles: BG10 BG000 BG0000
