I have used the latest dogwood flower from FRED SHE SAID. it is a beautiful flower.

P1030599I cut the main panel from MFT postage stamp stax. The dogwood flower was colored with copics- R20,22, Y02,YG06. I added a couple flowers on foam booster and added stickles to it. I added two pearls colored with R22 on the panel and added flourishes to the corners. I added the sentiment on a fishtail stax, a medium scallop and a ribbon. A button with twine and some pearls

here is a close up of the flower

I made this using MFT sketch 123.

P1030605I used the license plate stamp and die set. I cut the congradulations down to congrads by masking and stamping. I added some fishtail trio on the top and stars at the bottom with a brad in between. The fun glitter dots are from Jody sticky stuff store. I distressed all edges. I added buttons with hemp cord.

I made this for MFT sketch 121.

P1030596I used PI- dolled up, colored her with copics and paper pieced her. I added stickles to her boa and glossy accents to her purse. I added gems for her necklace. I added some MFT dies- posey flower, vintage flourish, medium scallop, flag stax cut at both ends. I added a button with hemp cord. The washi tape was a perfect match and so I added that . The flower was brushed with pickled raspberry distress ink.

I used the Sweet sunday sketch 183.

P1030592I made this card for a graduation from U of MI. I used PI- book in hand and colored her with copics and paper pieced her sweater as I had the perfect color cardstock. I added glossy accents to her book, bag,collar and shoes and barrett. I used a spellbinder die to cut her out.  I just followed the sketch and used MFT dies- medium scallops, flag stax, stars, corner and a brad for the smallest star. I added some pearls to the corner and her shoes. the paper behind is embossed with dots.

I love the inside

P1030593also she will be a teacher so the other side on the inside has this, an image from Fred She Said colored with copics.

I was asked to make a card for a mom. I used FRED SHE SAID images. I used the Sweet Stop sketch challenge 208

P1030574I used Sunflower and Thankfulness digi frame. I used the blank one and colored the sunflower with copics Y08,02,YR23. leaves YG03 and 06. I added one more flower in the center for dimension and then added stickles. Ribbon is from my stash. I added twine and pearls. the saying is a mix and match from Verve and MFT sets. the background paper is from the BMD floral surprise paper pack, I love how it coordinates witha  lot of floral digis from FRED SHE SAID.

I made this fat page for the challenge at Crafters Cafe Challenge Blog - make an ATC or Fat page- the sponsor is Fred She Said, so go ahead and join.

P1030571The size is 4×4. I have used a few Fred She said images. Butterfly Doodle dallion set, Bearly Mine Designs Floral Surprise Paper and Whirlpool splash stencil mask- I did not use it as a mask as I do not have an electronic cutter, rather printed it on vellum (I did not want to lose the beauty of the page underneath) and colored it with copics and distress markers. I love this floral paper pack, it is gorgeous. I ahve used pickled paspberry distress ink. TOns of gems and spiral pearl flourish

I have a baby shower to go to and I saw this tutorial  here to make a basket, I fell in love with it and thought I would make it, it was fast and within an hour I had made three of them. I did change how the handle is, it was my daughter’s suggestion and I think it does look great.

P1030562I have used an image from Saturated Canary- Icecream and Pickles. I printed it on Copic paper, cut it with the postage stax from MFT and colored it with copics. Other MFT dies are medium scallops and tag you’re it. I have used EK Success punch.

Skin- E000,00,11,21. R20. Hair- E33,35,37. YR23. Dress R20,30,22. BG10,70. Y08,02 Eyes- W3,5. White gel pen. I ahve used some wild orchid flowers and Ornate butterflies from Fred She Said, watercolored with distressink- Pickled Raspberry and dusty concord. Each layer had distress inks to sharpen each layer.

Here is the back with the brad. and you can see inside I have layered scallops so that all the mess is hidden.

Sweet Sunday Sketch and my first mini tutorial

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch 182. I loved the sketch. I loved how the flowers came out so if you scroll down I have a mini tutorial on it. It is the first time I have done a tutorial so pardon all mistakes.

P1030564l Stamped the sentiment using MFT Black Licorice ink, this is a fabulous ink and this is the first time I used this sentiment. Love how it came out. I have distressed all edges. The flowers- happy Flowers and Ornate Butterflies are from Fred She Said. Butterflies are watercolroed with Distress ink and fussy cut. I have added pearls and brads, stickles for shine. I added two dienamics- flag stax(my fav die) and medium scallops. A lace just to break the color.

Here is the inside

P1030567I loved how the pink flower turned out so I thought I would do a quick mini tutorial on how I did them showing the purple ones. THis is picture heavy so just relax and enjoy. You can use this tutorial with most of the flowers at Fred She Said.

I first cut out all the flowers- these are the new Happy flowers from Fred She Said- as you can see I am not very exact in how I cut, don’t worry this will all get colored and scrunched and will not be too visible. I just printed the full sheet and so I did not have to worry about sizing each flower. As you can see for the purple I did not use the largest layer but did use it for the pink one.

P1030527You can use reinkers but since I don’t have that I dabbed some distress inks directly on my craft mat and sprayed them with pearlized water using my mister. I used Seedless preserves and milled lavender.

P1030528Wear gloves- I used disposable glove and dab each flower, back and front in the ink and scrunch them up.P1030529P1030530Dry them well. Open them up and layer them in two layers staggering each layer of the same size. On the smallest layer size add a half pearl.P1030532Join the entire flower and again scrunch it up. You can see in this picture one joint flower and one totally scrunched up.P1030536 Open it up with a paper piercer and then arrange it the way you wnat, remember it will dry that way. Then I added stickles, that is always my choice of glitter but you can use dazzling dust, fine glitter, Just drops of glossy accents and glass sprinkles. Whatever you  love that can shine.

Here is a close up when finished. The pink one was done with Pickled Raspberry Distress ink. the leaves were done the same way with mowed lawn distress ink.
