I enjoyed making this card using MFT sketch 188.

For all my panels and different elements on the card I used different dies from blueprints 3,11,15. Stamp is from MFT. The background I used Hero Arts leaf and flourish stencil with versamark ink and I embossed it with Recollections clear gold- sparkle embossing powder, loved how it looks all shiny. On the flag panel I added Large background diamonds in stripe fashion and then added the LGD strips under and over the sentiment and embossed that too. Love the flower all stickled up for shine, with the rose leaf die, the heart in the corner was cut from an embossed felt. I added some sequins.

Love how the inside came out.

I am also adding this to Loves rubber stamp- out of season card and Simon says stamp- make it sparkle(all the sparkle started with this challenge), A blog named Hero- Die a little and Word art Wednesday- anything goes.

I made this using MFT sketch 168.

I love the grout gray color, and I used this color combo for sketch 167 and love the look, so I used it again. this time I used textile background and for the hexagons, I did not fill it all. I added a vellum, circle from Circle stax 1 and 2. An hibiscus leaf and perrenial flower. I added some photo coners. The sentiment is on Washi tape die and added the SD border and doodle. Some sequins were added, a brad to the center of the flower and stickles for the shine. All dies, inks and stamps are from MFT.

Sweet Sunday Sketch and my first mini tutorial

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.

l 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

I 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.

You 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.

Wear gloves- I used disposable glove and dab each flower, back and front in the ink and scrunch them up.Dry 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.Join the entire flower and again scrunch it up. You can see in this picture one joint flower and one totally scrunched up. 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.

I am entering it in a few contest

I used the sketch from Verve March-week 1. It had cool layers.

I did the Tulip background with Spellbinders Impressabilities and distress inks. It was something different for me but I loved the look of it when done. I adhered a white paper and the impressabilites with small tape on the side. this helped it stay in place. I started with aged mahagony distress ink and the distress foam tool. I inked it all the way. after which i inked it with broken china, it looks almost purple in some spots, and then with wild honey. I removed the tulip impressabilites and this is what was left. I cut it according to the sketch and distressed the edges with antique linen. Tulips always make me think happy thoughts and that spring is here.

I added some icy stickles to the frame, the inside has been stamped with aged mahagony. love that pattern. Added a ribbon and some twine to give it more dimension. Flowers have the white brad in between.

The inside is simple

Supplies: Papers: Miss Carolina- Howdy Doody, PTI cardstock.

I used the sketch from Some ODD GIRL It was real fun.

I used Summery Mae digital stamp. I colored her with Prisma color pencils. ( skin is mineral orange, rosy beige, light umber, burnt ochre and terra cotta, hair is Chocolate, light umber and peach beige) She is so pretty, adore her. I paper pieced her outfit. This was the first time I have paper pieced a digital image. After cutting out all the pieces I distressed them before adhering it to the image. I added distress markers to add some shading.

I stamped the sentiment before adhering the panel to the card. Added the rose, flourish and some butterflies. Love the brad in between the rose, A scallop on the side finished the card.

I used twine to give her some ground.

I used the sketch from MFT sketch 63. It has great layers and a fun layout, I tucked the banner underneath the panel instead of the top. I added some scallop in between the layers.

I used the background technique from PTI-Make it Monday 58– loved it, I am definitely doing it again. I used distress markers to create the background-scattered straw, mustard seed, spiced marmalade, worn lipstick and spun sugar. I added some finishing flourishes stamp on it with Versamark ink and heat set it.

I used the sketch from Ribbon Carousel. It was fun to do.

Since it was a challenge combined with Sweet Stamp Shop, I used their stamps. I love how their stamps can be combined to create a scene. One of the things I love to do. The colors were inspired by Lily pad’s Virginia View-such gorgeous colors. Loved the pink and greens in it. This one i have saved, it just has a mix of great colors.

I used Distress Markers to color the squirrel, and the scooter is paper pieced. I stamped it directly on green paper before paper piecing it. I distressed around it. Love those sweet balloons. Added some photo corners from MFT, added some liquid pearls and white gel for some extra touches. totally love how it turned out. I like how the sentiment is anchored , it is stamped on one of the stamps in this set. I A bow completed the card.
