FTTC244 - Plaid Joy

Hi all!  It's Tuesday and time for another Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge.  This week it's all about the ever classic plaid or houndstooth patterns:

For my card, I've used the newly released Handmade Snowflakes by Flourishes.  Such a classic set, love it!  The snowflake is stamped in sno cone, then I stamped one of the sentiments from the set in black licorice over it.  I created my plaid using the plaid builder stamp set and the same sno cone and black licorice inks.  I like that the pattern is slightly off - that's my story and I'm sticking to it!  ha!  I used the stamping off technique for parts of the pattern to create a more dimensional look.  The little plaid fishtail flag is from the washi patterns set by MFT.  A few enamel dots add the finishing touch.  I've also made this for the SACC challenge this week.  Play along with us at Flourishes and SACC for a chance to win ;)

FTTC243 - Sending Smiles

Hi all!  Welcome to another Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge: 

For my card, I've used the pot and tulips that are in the From the Garden set.  The pots were paper pieced and the flowers were colored with copics.  Yes, I fussy cut THOSE flowers!  ;) The sentiment is from the Tulips for Friends set and was cut out with an element from the Blueprints 1 die-namics.  The sketch is this month's DD sketch on the SplitCoastStampers website - you have to be a member to view it and yes, I highly encourage you to do so!  Worth.  Every.  Penny.  I almost went with an all white card but thought the soft pink dp worked well and still let the flowers take center stage.  A handful of white brads add the finishing details.

HB2U - MFTWSC146

Hi all!  Here's my card for the MFTWSC146 using some newer goodies.  This is my first time inking up this cutie PI, It's a sign.  She's colored with copics and fussy cut over one of the doily duo die-namics.  I decided to not emboss the "HB2U", only stamping it with sweet tooth ink for a more realistic 'chalk' look.  I used the plaid builder stamp set to create my own matching dp using nightshift blue, wild cherry, sweet tooth and pink lemonade.  I pierced the red-ish dp and added an enamel dot in the notch of the tab from the Blueprints 3 die-namics.

FTTC242 - Believe

Hello!  It's Tuesday and time for another Flourishes blog challenge:  

Flourishes just released 3 beautiful stamp sets and I just couldn't resist using one of them for this challenge, Handmade Snowflakes.  I cut out my canvas oval with an oval die-namic but first, I adhered it with scor-tape to a piece of plain cardstock to give it some sturdiness and to keep it from fraying.  My little tip of the day ;)  I then stamped two snowflakes in pink lemonade and the sentiment in hot fudge directly onto the canvas.  I then stamped several snowflakes on the larger layer in pink lemonade, using the stamping-off technique on the smaller ones, hot fudge ink and kraft ink.  The polka dots on the scalloped kraft layer weren't stamped - it's washi tape!  I covered a piece of cardstock with the washi tape then ran it through with one of my scalloped die-namics.  I got the idea from Tenia's HYCCT challenge on SCS.  Some kraft ribbon and chocolate pearls add the finishing details.  The sketch is from the Blueprints 1.
