All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge

Well fall is in the air around here, especially in the evening you can feel the change ....so a fall challenge at All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge. I used Swiss Pixie Birgitta with her pretty sunflower for this card. I colored her with copics as follows:
Hair and boots and dress trim- C1,3,6
Skin - E30, 51, 11 and R05 for cheeks
Dress - Y21, 32, 26
Flower - Y35, 17, 38
Flower Center- E31, 33, 35
Leaf - YG91, 93, 95
I mounted her on a circle and then cut the scallop circle with MFT die-namic, Open Scallop Doilly. For the sentiment on the front I used the First Place Award die-namic and inisde sentiment is the Polka Dot Greeting frame die-namic. I also used the scalloped scallop edge die-namic too.... okay I like these die-namics and they are available at the All That Scraps online store. The paper I used is from Authentique Blissful collection and yes the great papers are available at the All That Scraps store too!!!

Wednesday Stamp Club - Sketch 36

 Yeah - finally after a four week absence I can play in the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club again!! Been a busy time of being in Saskatoon while my daughter and her hubby did some MAJOR renos in the house, my hubby painted among other things and my job to help do meals on BBQ  anfd best job of all play with my three grandsons!!  Then got home and a couple of hospital times - one with my hubby and he is fine!!! And then my dad's wife had a stroke and she passed away peacefully last night .....

Anyways I am back and had fun today making this card for my stepson's birthday!! The sentiments are from More Essential Sentiments from MFT. I used three MFT die-namics, Well Worn Greeting for the sentiment, leafy flourish and Pretty Posies - love their dies!!! Below is  close up of the flowers - I cut them out and dipped them in water and then scrunched them up by hand, put a brad in the center and shaped the petals and sprayed them with glimmer mist and let dry. I learned this from a friend last week and love the effect you get. I think it is kind of a masculine type flower :)

Yes it is amazing there were no copic markers used on this card!!! Good to be back and share with you.

One More for the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch

I remember when I first saw this Flopsey on the MFT blog and it was cold and wet here in Calgary and I was longing for summer warm days... well it was wet again today but has been sunny and will be again tomorrow!! Anyways one more for the Wednesday Stamp Club sketch this week - when I thought about the sketch I knew I had to try and get one in with Flopsey too! So I did rotate the sketch but other than that all the same elements :) I did color him with my copics and then dabbed him with a cloth with blender solution as none of the bunnies I see around here are smooth - they are furry and kind of blotchy. I had such fun airbrushing the sky using clouds as masks!! Come on by My Gallery at Splitcoast Stampers and read the details on which stamp set, etc ....... This card was just fun to put together!!

Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch 28

So here is the sketch that you work with this week.....

 Here is what I came up with (I do have another idea or two ...will see if I get to them). And following is the inside of the card for you to see too.

I really enjoy working with these sketches each week... already planning how I can take some things with me in August when we are away for a few weeks so that I can still play along!!! The stamp set I used is an older one from MFT, from the WHo's That Girl line and it is called 'Coffee? Tea?' The paper is from jllibean soup and the line is Dutch Mustard Soup ( I know kind of a strange name - but love the paper!!) I paper pieced her dress and colored the rest with copic markers (of course). I cut the flowers with the Perfect posies
die-namic from MFT and also used MFT medium scallop border.This card will be good for one of my many friends who enjoys a good cup of coffee!!

Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch 27

 A close up of the coloring for the flower (scary to show you a close up - wanted you to see how I tried to give the flower depth. Also wanted you to see the cute Prima vintage trinket on the tag :) And the next photo is of the inside of the card.

If you want to see the sketch for this card go to the MFT blog and check it out and come and play along!! Also stop by my gallery at Splitcoast Stampers just in case I don't get the card to my blog too .....
So for this card I used the rose from the MFT stamp set Inspired by Flowers 2 and the sentiments from Inspired by Flowers ( the first one they did). I colored with copics of course and the colors that I used were:
E0000, 00, 01 and 04, YG91, 93 and 95 and I softened up the areas where the light was more direct coming from the top left with the blender pen. I then sponged Tim Holtz distress ink, tattered rose around the image and on the sentiment tag too. I used the Spellbinders scalloped ovals and the plain ovals for the shapes. The border is cut with MFT die-namics "dainty lace border". The trinket is from Prima and the pearls are Kaiser craft. The paper for this card is from K&Company called Julianne. The shapes for the sentiment inside the card are cut with MFT die-namics - love their die-namics for sure!!

"Add a Touch of Texture" Challenge

 Here is the finished product first.....

 A side view for you....

 A close up of the pocket....

Near the end and some of the mess....

This card is for the MFT guest designer challenge for July and the challenge is to "add a touch of texture" to your stamped creation. I had just got the Pretty Pocket set in the mail and the Inspired by Flowers sets..... so a bit of combining stamp sets and many die-namics this is what I came up with. I cut the pocket with the die-namic that comes with the stamp set using Tim Holtz co-ordinations paper and then embossed it with a cuttlebug folder and sanded it to get the "jean" pocket look (texture). The daisy is made of felt (texture) and has a pearl center. The ribbon I picked up in Victoria and it has lots of "texture" too. The butterflies have rhinestones for their bodies - "texture" of a different kind.... Anyways after I made a huge mess in my room making this card I was kind of happy with the end result and hope you like it too :)

Here are the details on what I used for this card and yes you can find all the wonderful My Favorite Thing products on their on line store and also many of them at Scrapbooker's Paradise in Calgary!!
