The Card Concept Challenge Time

Hi all! I'm here (albeit a little late) with my card for the latest The Card Concept Challenge. I used a new set from Erin Lee Creative along with one of her new stencils (the embossed shimmery houndstooth background). The sentiment is from the MFT Sending Sweet Celebration Wishes set.

Thank you for stopping by!

The Card Concept Challenge Time!

Hi all! I'm back! In case you wondered, we had a major renovation project in our house thanks to a toilet leak. We spent 57 nights in a hotel. Not. Fun. But it's all done and we're back home :)  Here's my card for the latest The Card Concept Challenge:

I used some retired MFT die-namics and a messy watercoloring technique using my Zig pens for the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Small Card - Big Thanks

Hi all! Here's a card I made using the MFT Color Challenge #102 and their sketch challenge #405. I used the More Rustic Flowers stamp set and dies to create the main layer. I also added an extra flower with some Glossy Accents for extra dimension.  I embossed the sentiment, from the Bitty Bears set, onto black licorice card stock. The card base is Cement Gray.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Card Concept Challenge Time!

Hi all! I'm a day late, but here is my card for the latest The Card Concept Blog Challenge. That inspiration pic is a beauty! I did a lot of watercoloring using Ranger Distress Inks as well as my Zig pens. The stamp set and sentiment (get it, 'you're a dahl! as in dahlia, the flower. Lol!) are from Hero Arts. I watercolored the background so that it mimicked the shape of the flowers I layered on top. I've watched a lot of videos lately for inspiration and was inspired by May Park and added the flecks of color.

We would love for you to play along with us!

Thinking of You

Hi all!  Here's a card I made for the MFTWSC386.  I used their newest card kit stamp set, Painted Prints.  It is SO pretty!!  I went out of the norm and used grays and blues for my flowers and leaves.

Card Concept Challenge Time!

HI all!  It's time for a new challenge over on The Card Concept Blog!  I stamped the new MFT background stamp - Itsy Bitsy Polka Dots - in peach bellini ink on my card base.  The flowers and sentiment are from the Neat and Tangled set, Friendly Florals.  I colored the flowers and leaves with Copic markers. I love the sentiment :)

We would love for you to play along with us!

CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge

HI all!  Yay for Friday!  We have a new challenge for you on the CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Blog!  

I used the Pretty Posies stamp set and matching dies for the sketch. I simply cut out two of the flowers with different cardstocks for an ombre effect, then stamped the flowers onto the dies with black ink.  'Smile' is from the Smiling Fri-dies trio.  I cut it out of black card stock three times, then layered them. I also added some black enamel dots for extra interest.

Be sure to play along for your chance to win!

A flowery thank you

Hi all!  Here's a card I made for the latest MFTWSC373 challenge.  I used one of my favorite flower sets, Funky Flowers, along with a sentiment from Geometric Greenery.  I created the background using Copic markers and added texture using the blending solution ala Kathy Racoosin.  Yes, I was totally trying to channel her especially since I was fortunate enough to attend one of her Color Challenge Classes recently! The flowers were also colored with Copics, a bit of colored pencils and accented with a white gel pen. 

Thanks for stopping by!

The Card Concept Challenge Blog

Hi all!  It's time for a new challenge on The Card Concept Challenge Blog. The inspiration pic is so pretty and girly!  I used the MFT More Rustic Flowers set to stamp flowers to create the background.  The sentiment is from the Handwritten Happiness stamp set.  I used a few MFT die-namics for the sentiment and background layers.  And to make it even more 'girly', I added some clear sequins.

We hope you'll play along with us!

Hugs,

You are the sweetest

Hi all!  I'm here again with a card I made for the new The Card Concept #84 Challenge and the recent, but not current, MFTWSC366 sketch challenge.  I used the More Rustic Wildflowers set and matching dies.  I adhered a flower with leaves into each opening I had cut out with the Stitched Tag-Corner Square STAX die.  This is definitely one of my favorite color combos - pinks and that MFT grout gray!  The sentiment is from the Bitty Bears set and fits rather well in my favorite old Fishtail Flags STAX.

I'm waiting on my (second) new computer to arrive later this week (first one must have been a dud!), so possibly no posts until the weekend!  ughhhh...

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi all!  It's time for a new CAS-ual Fridays Blog Challenge - you can check it out HERE!  I used the Mon Ami stamp set and matching dies because it's obviously perfect for this challenge!  :)  I colored the flowers with Copics then sponged my card base to match them.

The Card Concept Challenge - Hello

Hi all!  It's time for another challenge on The Card Concept Blog!  You are sure to be inspired!  I loved the colors and all of the flowers from the inspiration picture, so I broke out my Flashy Florals set from MFT.  I added sequins to all of the flower centers.  I cut out 'hello' die-namic three times - once with Sno Cone card stock, the other two with white card stock then staggered them slightly when adhering them so you can see a tiny bit of the Sno Cone card stock.  The flower layer and card base are Primitive White card stock.

Thanks for stopping by!
