I used MFT sketch 179.

i made this card in three attempts. I knew I wanted to use distress inks, so I started with the circle embossed the MFT concentric circle and the added distress ink, I added the sentiment and where things were embossed it created a gray and black effect, so I tossed it. The second time I stamped the sentiment added the flowers with different distress inks and it looked cool, I added a water brush look with pumice stone, did not like it and tossed it. And then I realized I was always doing it with the sentiment while that could stay outside the panel. It all came together quick.

for this one I used wild honey, squeezed lemonade and spun sugar. The flowers I used the same arrangement I had done the second time but this time with versatile black. Love how this came out. Especially I love the MFT MPD distressed background in fired brick. I love how it stands out with the wild honey.

Of course, after all that I thought there should be some green But then after adding three swirls did not like it so came the flower and the layered buttons to the rescue. I have to say after a long time in making the card, but love the look of it. I added hemp cord for the panel and as an accent to the buttons. I added stickles as the final touch.

i am also adding it to Word Art Wednesday- anything goes

I made this using MFT sketch 170. I took a few liberties with the sketch.

I love this flower plate and it looks wonderful with four colors. I have an adhesive sheet behind it so that i do not ahve to glue each piece down. The diagnoal strips were added with chalkboard frame. The saying is from movie stamp and the die is from blue print cut in half after adding the sentiment. I also added an abstract art line with razzle berry ink. For the sentiment I used steel grey love that color. for the two strainght elements I just added ribbon. The leaf is a Whimsy die and the rolled rose is MFT. Most of the dies are MFT and so is the ink and stamp.

Here is the inside

Here is a view with the envelope and money carrying puch. I did not want to glue the closing so added a button and twine.

I am also adding it to Loves Rubber stamps- anything goes and Pile it on- Floral Fantasy

This is a long post. There are nine cards in all. These are all for the Love Fest challenge at Splitcoast stampers. I was on a card making frenzy and so enjoyed it.

This is for Puppy Love– card with a warm critter

I sponged watercolor paper with distress inks and then stamped with Versafine Ink, I used a ribbon and twine for the thread of affection. The main panel was cut with MFT postage die. I added brad and a wooden button for the final touch.

I am also adding it in Really Reasonable Ribbon- Show me the green

The inside is simple

This is for Lovey Dovey Spring- by Stamping Bella

The main panel is another diecut from MFT. The image is from Fred She Said- Doodled Floral Image. I love their images. I colored it with copics and paper pieced and colored the yellow flower and the leaves. I added white gel pen for effect. I love the sequins paper peeking through the lace. The saying is from MFT Fabulous sayings.

I am adding this to Great Impressions- Spring Celebrations and Simply Create Too- Shop in your stash– all the items used are from my stash.

The inside

This is for Doodle Do- Taylored Expressions

This card was heavily influenced by Jennifer McGuire. I love her videos and ideas. I added a doodled border and colored it with copics. I love the feathers and sentiment from MFT. I added some buttons for texture. When I embossed my feathers a spot did not have embossed powder on it, I took a brush and added embossing ink and then added the powder to even it out.

I am adding it to Challenge 4 everybody- Anything goes– this is a 5.5×5.5 card.

The inside

This is for the Inspiration Challenge- By Cat’s Pajamas, love the birdhouse and the iron gates.

I used lots of MFT diecuts. papers are from different paper pads and scrap. the corners looked like the gates, I added pearls to the branch and house.

I am adding this to Simon Says Stamp- Anything goes with pearls

The inside

This is for the Color Challenge-Sweet n’Sassy. Colors were white, red, pink and brown with additional ingredient of Love.

I had this lovely out of print paper that had browns and pinks and I thought it was perfect. I added MFT die and stamp. Love this saying with this heart. Added some sequins to balance the card.

I am adding it to Challenges 4 everybody- anything goes

The inside

This is for Let’s Score- Scor Pal

It is very hard to capture the score lines on a picture, they are above and below the sentiment. This is by far my favorite embossing folder. Then I added the MFT -Fabulous sayings(this is an awesome stamp set) so many ways to dress up a statement. Love it. I added a Pretty Posey die colored with alcohol inks on glossy accent paper. I added a pearl and a couple rose leaves.

I am adding this to Jo’s Scrap Shack- Florals

Here is the inside

Scor lines are added above and below the yellow paper. and a little flower.

This is for Die Cut Crazy- Simon Says Stamp. I was amazed how fast this was done once I thought of what to do. I

I diecut some LJD butterflies and Fancy butterfly by MPD- both from MFT. Is tamped the big dots on the butterfly underneath the fancy butterfly. is tamped corresponding inks on the other butterflies, all with MFT inks. I added colored pearls, colored the red ones with R28 and was done.

I am adding this to Fashionable Stamping Challenge- Anything goes

Here is the inside

I choose Classy and Elegant for the challenge by Paper Smooches.

I stenciled a rose using MFT stencil and MFT inks-Olive, Jelly bean green. RazzleBerry and Lemon drop ink, Then I added a ribbon. This ribbon was given to me by my secret admirer(sshhh, don’t tell anyone it is my 8 year old daughter). She finds little things to give me wraps it up and writes- for Mommy from your secret admirer. It is adorable. I added a little MFT sentiment.

I am adding it to CAS on Sunday- color me Pretty; and Addicted to Stamps and More- CAS

I forgot to do an inside, will work on it.

Here is my last card for the day

Lots of layers- Paper Perfect Crafting

I distressed all the layers to add a layered look and make it more distinct. The main panel I die cut and colored the die cuts with distress markers and water. The background is peacock feathers and tumbled glass. The sentiment is from Verve.

I am adding this to Crafting from the heart- use die cuts.

Here is the inside

birthday wishes, bling, button, cardstock, celebration, gems, glitter, glossy accents, handmade card, happy birthday, stickles

Me and my daughter made this using MFT sketch 160. After it was done I noticed the dotted paper was a smaller size in the sketch.. too late.

This was made using MFT inks- lemon drop, razzle berry, pink lemonade and cotton candy. It was LJD birthday greetings, washi patterns and large scale background stamps. There are tons of glitter. The Jody zig zag tape has silver and pink glitter, the birthday greeting and bow has stickles and there are liquid pearls and gems. Also wink of stella pen on the letters ( In the future wait for the ink to dry). A little button with copic colored pearl. Most of the stamping and coloring is done by my daughter( she is eight). I was just showing her how to use the sketch.

here is the inside

She loves the razzle berry color, hot pink as she calls it.

I am so excited that I am the January guest designer at Loves to Scrap.

The challenge is LTSCB #21: “Anything Goes!“. It runs from January 6-19.

There are 2 sponsors: Technique Junkies (prize is a specialty CD) and The Paper Nest Dolls (prize is a $25 gift certificate to online store – good for digital and rubber stamps)

Here is my card

I got this new MFT close knit stamp in the mail and I thought it was perfect for this challenge. My new year resolution is to spend more time with my kids and friends. To work on increasing my business(www.rosebest.com) and learn about social media.

To start my card I used deconstructed sketch 132; I first stamped the hero arts background with versamark ink, embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I used lemon squeezed, tumble grass and shaded lilac distress inks for the background, there is also some frayed burlap(by mistake) on one side.

I embossed a purple cardstock and the other is a out of print text paper. I added twine for the vertical panel and popped the image on the top. I colored her with copics, love the image and the sentiment that goes with it. I added the sentiment on a flag stax with a button and twine. I added stickles, glossy accents, liquid pearls and sequins to finish the card. I added two gems to her shoes for a last touch.

I love the inside, I used a polka dot greetings to match the front.

I am entering it in deconstructed sketch- #132; Simon Says stamp– anything new- my new stamp; Loves rubber stamp– new year resolution to spend time with friends; Color me creative– anything goes.

I made this for Loves RUbber stamps guest Dt card for week 4. This is my last card for them in the month of November. I truly enjoyed creating the cards this month. The challenge is Showing Thanks and the sponsor is Saturated Canary– I used the stamp- Grow. THis challenge is a perfect way to end my month with Loves Rubber stamps and to say Thank you.

If you have not visited Loves Rubber stamps– you should- it is like a one stop shop for most of your crafting needs.

I used the splitcoaststampers sketch 463, it had so many layers, so my thing! for the square layer I added a piece of lace, sorry the oval hides it it is an awesome lace. I colored the image with copics, and added wild honey distress ink to it’s background and to all the papers. I love this Gina K Design paper. The image was cut with MFT- oval Stax. I added glossy accents to the pot and flowers. Isn’t the MFT solid bracket border awesome, it is good enough to stand alone by itself. Behind the oval are two different MFT fishtail falg stax. I cut the flower- MFT pretty posies from My mind’s Eye paper and used the embossing tool kit to curl the flowers, I added milled lavender to it and then popped it all between the layers. I added a button and hemp cord that I colored with distress ink. I added a MFT vintage flourish and a zva pearl. I added some white pearls to balance it all.

Here is the inside.

I will hopefully have a card for this month of October every day.

I am playing along with Hope You can Cling to Challenges at Splitcoaststampers. It is a wonderful cause, and brings cheer and hope to many battling cancer. These cards will be sent to Houston,UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. You can play along too. This challenge was Many colors of cancer, to make a card for someone you were affected by with cancer and to choose it’s correspondent color.

I made this for the challenge Peaceful leaves. I thought roses are so beautiful and calming and their leaves are well shaped so they fit this theme.

I used Fred She said Diamond Rose with Paper pricking pattern. I do not usually paper prick but this helped give it a delicate look. I colored the Rose and leaves with copics. I cut the rose and leaves seperately, the base was also colored so if you look sideways it does not show white. I dry embossed them witha stylus and then added them all around, the leaves also have stickles on them to make them stand out. There is an MFT sentiment from LJD blissful butterflies. I added a ribbon and a button with hemp cord.

Here is a close up of the paper pricking.

I am also adding it to Happy Campers- Show us your flowers. and Crafting By Design- Use ribbon or lace. Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comments.

bling, button, cardstock, celebration, copics, distress ink, flower, gems, handmade card, handmade flowers, MFT dienamics, MFT stamps, My Mind's Eye, pearls, ribbon, sequins, stickles

I will hopefully daily have a card for this month of October.

SO the first challenge is to make a window card in the inside- Inner Strength

I used MFT mod patterns, trio snowflake and christmas sentiment. I added sequins for a fun look, I added some stickles to the snowflake after distressing it. Love how the circle stax was perfect for the window

here is a close ip of the snowflake

The second challenge is to add red or orange or both for Courage and Strength, so I added both

I used Rubber stampeded stamp and colored it with my copics, added some yellow for the base, the sentiment was added with sweet tooth ink, I added some red gems and a ribbon.- I am adding it to Pile it on- leaves

The third challenge for Oct 1 scared me, I am not one to do CAS cards.- keep it flat- Flat is fabulous. I had seen Jennifer McGuire do a card with triangles where she first added white pigment ink and then offset it with another ink.

Since I had MFT triangles stamp and die I used that to create a mask and work on this card

I had to add the flower on the top, all that white space did not go well with me. I love it when others do it but somehow I cannot. I used many MFT inks- sweet tooth, razzle berry, fuse green, limeade, blu Raspberry, Orange Fizz, Lemon Drop, and red hot.

I am adding the first and last card in Simon Says Stamp- going dotty.
