Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 294

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday. Today the theme is Monochromatic BLUE.  

I saw several cards in my feed on Pinterest last month with this idea and knew I had to make it. Love Snowmen but hate snow. Go figure. This is a great idea and MFP Stamp Shop has the perfect snowman for it.

We're sticking with the monochromatic theme this week. The color today is PURPLE.  My pansies are colored with pencil. Go on over and play along.

Ruby's Rainbow Challenge

I'm late this week posting this challenge because I've been away celebrating my 34th wedding anniversary. We had a great time camping and doing what we call pretending to be retired. One of the best weekends in a long while but now it's back to reality and back to work.

 This weeks challenge was to make a Get well card.

Another easy challenge this week; Monochromatic GREEN. I inked the palm tree with the green and the brown color inks then used the extra grass stamp to make more grass under the tree.

The challenge this week is Monochromatic RED. Easy enough. I hope you take time from all the hustle and bustle to play along. I stamped the meddallion on card stock and then cut it into 3 eqal parts.

Ruby's Rainbow Challenge/ Metallic Christmas

I'm joining again with Ruby's Rainbow who are having a Metallic Christmas Challenge. This gives me a chance to add yet another Christmas card to my stash. I have a sparkly back layer. Then added a smooth gold layer and on top of that is vellum embossed with a shiny gold EP. A little bit of scribbling with a Wink of Stella gold pen.

Not easy to see but my background paper is a plaid. I've sponged the edges and it sort of covered my pretty plaid but it is faintly there. Another card idea I got from Pinterest.
I rarely angle anything. I'm always lining things up  perfectly so it's kind of nice to have an angled layer. The little bathing bear is popped up.

Birds of a Feather Challenge

I had promised myself a few years ago to get back into doing challenges outside of my MFP duties. If only I could find the time. Today became the day. Finally!!! I got out an old stamp hidden away in the cupboard to use for my card. Living on a farm and having all of the different stages of chickens and a crow here and there, I thought this Judith stamp would be perfect for the fun challenge over at Ruby's Rainbow. I was even able to use some chicken paper. The image is colored with pencil, clouds are sponged and the edges have been grunged up with some brown ink.

You know those little stamps in a set that usually don't get touched. Well here's an idea that uses them. This week we used a large sentiment and hilighted it with a small stamp. I also added a few punched snowflakes. Clean and Simple and fast.

Round your corners. That's this weeks theme. I used the ghost from the set What a Scream which is attached to a pumpkin. I cut it free from that pumpkin and added it to a Big Pumpkin. The background is stamped with the word Boo with Versa Mark. Go on over and your card.
