Fabulous Felt Flowers

Good Tuesday Morning!

Today's card will be entered into the following Challenges; MFT Sketch, MFT Color and Simon Says Monday, Felt That!

 

 

 

 

I used the MFT die sets; Blueprints 12 and Open Simply Scallops as well as the Simply Fabulous Sayings stamp set.  The 'polaroid frame' is a PTI die, Fabulous Frames, there seems to be a fabulous theme emerging.  :)   Spellbinders Standard Circles die. 

 

The flower dies from Blueprints 12 cut the felt beautifully.  I am quite amazed that they look this good, like wicked good.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder and Enamel Dots for accents.  Melon Mambo ink.  

 

I had forgotten I had this handy dandy little tool by EK Success, a Piercing Bug.   It worked perfectly to add the dotted texture from the top of the Sketch.  It was one of those impulse buys years ago, you know the kind, when you're standing in the store with a 50% off coupon in hand?

 

Thanks so much for coming by....I think my feelings on felt may be changing....hmmm, who knew?

 

Enjoy~~



 

 



Pearl & Silver

Good evening! 

This card will be entered into the Challenges at Mod Squad, Pearl & Silver, in recognition of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, hosted by a dear friend Joyce Erb,  CAS-ual Fridays, Precious Metals, and Simon Says Wednesday,  Thinking Of You.

 

I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Fabulous Frames and Stately Flowers 8, both illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger.  The flower was embossed in silver and stamped on to Vellum, which I fussy cut out.  The border of the frame was colored with a light grey Copic Marker.  I hi-lighted the dotted lines with a Sakura Clear Star Glitter Pen.  4 large Adhesive Pearls for accent.

 

 

I must say, after making this card late yesterday, I slept fine....I mean all of that empty white space did not keep me awake!  lol  You know what a challenge a CAS card is for me.  But, I  actually like this.  Who'd a thunk?!?!

 

I am mailing it off to Joyce Erb's good friend, Roxanne.....if you are participating in the Mod Squad challenge perhaps you could contact Joyce and get her address as well.  Wouldn't it be so nice for Roxanne to get some Happy Mail?

 

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Peeking In

Good Morning! 

It's such a beautiful day, even if I do have to work!  The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the humidity has headed for unknown parts.....life is good, knock on wood!  ;)

Today's card will be entered into the Challenges at MFT Sketch and CASology, Precious.

 

 

When I first saw the Sketch I immediately thought window, of course!  So I did a cropped/masked stamped image of this sweet little girl (and sentiment too) from MFT, Pure Innocence, I Pick You!  I wanted her to be peeking in on the recipient of this card, you know just checking up on them!  I also did a cropped/masked stamped image of the bouquet of flowers she was holding, but to be honest, it just looked creepy!  You could see her arms and flowers, but nothing more....super creepy!  So I looked through a bunch of my other stamps and found this pot of pretty little posies from Gina K Designs, Baskets Of Happiness.  Perfect!  

 

Images colored with Copic Markers and Sakura Glaze Pens added to all flowers.

 

She's just super sweet, I think!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.....hope you have a grand weekend!!!

 

Enjoy~~

 



CELEBRATE!

Good Afternoon!

It's harder and harder to find crafting time, but I managed to sneak in one little card Monday night.  Then it takes 2 more days to find time to post it.  WOW!

This will be entered into the Challenges at Penny Black, Anything Goes Add A Sentiment, Curtain Call, Celebrate and Tag You're It, 'Inspirational Photo'.

 

 

 

I was inspired by the butterfly, Baker's Twine and the bold white tag in the photo, complete with trail and stitching.  I started with some Wild Orchid card stock by Gina K Designs.....sooooo pretty!  Designer Paper is Si Bon!  by K & Company.  Sentiment is from For You by Penny Black, stamped in Wild Wasabi Ink.  MFT dies, Stitched Tag and Open Bracket Border.  EK Success Butterfly Trio punch, Martha Stewart Pop Up Hydrangea punch and Sizzix die, Branch With Leaves.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.         

 

 

Frame cut by hand.

 

Added accents; Eyelet, Baker's Twine, and Rhinestone Flourish, Brad for the center of the flower (which also holds the 3 layers together).  The top layer of the butterfly is cut from Vellum.

 

This card makes me HAPPY!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

 

Enjoy~~
