I made this for a friend. I was inspired by MFT DT and Julia( I love the way she organizes her roses)

img_3395

I started with red card stock and then used versa mark ink and ranger gold embossed powder with an MFT background stamp. Love how it came out. I added a ribbon. Three roses using the same paper and embossing as the background.The rolled roses form MFT are fabulous, Added more diecuts of leaves from the wild greenery. I diecut a label and added a simple Happy Birthday sentiment and to add balance added three gold sequins. stickles on the roses and leaves finished the panel. Popped it on the card with foam.

Thank you for your sweet comments.

img_1929This is a card entry for the MFT superstar card design contest. I used different MFT dies and stamps. the panel is from MFT blueprint, MFT mini roses, medium rolled rose and the large rolled rose. I colored them with MFT and distress inks. The butterfly is from the Flutter of solid butterflies and the sentiment is from an old MFT set. The rose leaves are my favorite to use. Do you see the small stamps on the printed paper, it is an old MFT stamp too. I think it gives a nice background to it. I added pearls, sequins, glossy accent and some stickles for the final touch.

I used an old whimsy stamp, I had lost this a year ago and thought i wouldn’t find it, but I just found it a few days ago and just couldn’t wait to color it. This is for a dear friend. I used the retro sketch 200 on it’s side, seemed a good fit for this stamp.

imageI started with coloring this with copics, in this I have blended the pants again as I felt the lines were sharp. I added white gel pen, there is ribbons, twine, stickles and some glossy accents. Brads for a whimsical touch. I used tumbled glass around the image. MFT sentiment was stamped with versa fine and embossed.

Close up of original coloring without stickles, white gel pen or glossy accents.

I used MFT sketch 265 very loosely. I am hopefully going to color daily joining the daily color challenge from Kathy Racossin. This panel was colored yesterday for Day 1 using zig color pens. I will be sending it to Lasting Hearts Drive.

imageAfter coloring it, i added twine for the bottom layer and a bow for the panel in it. Instead of the flags tax on the twine i used it as the second short layer above and then the flower and leaves as the two small layers.

Inside done with copics, u can see the difference in vibrancy.

I made this using MFT sketch 252. I am mailing this to someone dear.#sharehandmade kindness

imageThe background is what i had used as a stencil in my last card. I loved how the die absorbed all the colors. I added a sentiment from the tulip set and popped it. My daisy and rolled roses are my fav, i added yellow to the daisy, added red and star dust tickles. Floral flourish completed the card. I added tiny sequins for the dots.

I made this using MFT sketch 238 and MFT color challenge, the colors were too sweet so I used them.

I started with a panel cut from BP13. I stenciled bold paisley with jellybean green, brushed the sides with pickled raspberry distress ink. stamped the vertical greetings sentiment with steel gray on a sentimental label die added the formal flourish colored with shabby shutters marker and limeade ink. cut three rolled roses and added razzleberry ink with pickled raspberry distress ink. Added viva hologram pen and the white pen, it is wet, hopefully will look a little different in the morning with shine and sparkle.

Simple Inside colored with ink.

MFT summer school- lesson 1

I liked the lesson 1 on MFT and made the card using the rule of thirds. I made this for a dear friend. I used MFT color challenge colors- limelight, wild wisteria, lemon drop and razzle berry.

imageThis past weekend I was doing a craft show at an Indian exhibition and all those colors must be in my head as this looks very much like an Indian wedding card.

I started with embossing the damask background in gold embossing powder on a panel cut with BP 13. I sponged razzleberry, lemon drop and grapiscle inks. I cut a panel from BP 9 and added the sentiment with platinum embossing powder. I stamped another paper with damask stamp and grapesicle ink and then cut the flowers. The scalloped rose and mini roses. I then colored them with razzleberry and grape jelly inks. the leaf flourish was colored with lettuce alcohol ink. I used the rule of thirds on the horizontal panel and the rose. I think that balanced the focus of the card well. For the flowers I used viva hologram pen. The whole card was popped with foam sheet. I like how that raised the card evenly.

Here is the inside using Modern bloom set, love it.

imageI am adding it to Simon Says Stamp-friends and Love to scrap– anything goes.

I took a different spin on MFT sketch 232, I loved the element of three and the banner across and I went with that. I used all my new stuff.

imageI love the modern bloom set, it gave such a beautiful soft multi color background. I used different MFT inks. Lemon drop with orange fizz and tangy orange; pink bubblegum with razzleberry and wild cherry, jelly bean green with factory green. I found the rolled blooming roses a little hard to mold, maybe i need to practice with it. I added viva gold and hologram ink. The sentiment is done with wild cherry. i used BP 13. Do you see the peek of the formal flourish, love it. I had got some sequins from craft essentials at MFT love the transluscent look. This was created for a wedding card. I love making envelopes with my W R Memory Envelope maker, i make 20 at a time, it is so quick and easy to do and i do not have to worry that I add layers to my card. My card is 4 1/4x 5.5 and my envelope is 5.5 x 6. Works perfectly.

I am adding it to Simon Says stamp– friend and Loves rubber stamps– spots and dots(all the sequins)

I am getting such rave reviews in the farmington market with my Grain Filled Honeysuckle soap– it si excellent for any one battling dry skin.
