Here is my last sneak peak before Tuesdays MFP Blog Hop

This set is called Cardinals in Winter. I water colored the image after first using Copics on one and then pencils on another. I decided I liked the water coloring the best. I'm using it for the SCS Friday Free 4 All/ Make your own background. This is just a piece of white card stock I sprayed with Gold Webbing and while it was still wet ( you have to be real QUICK ) I sprinkled Embossing powder with Glitter in it over the webbing, tapped off the excess and then heated it. There is a sparkle to the background that doesn't show up well in the photo.

There will be blog hop fun right here starting Tuesday. You could win one of the new sets just by visiting  the DT blogs and leaving some love.

Rain Rain RAIN

I don't think we've had an all day rain in at least three years. There were 2 outdoor art festivals I wanted to go to. But since they were a no go I stamped a little. Still had a couple of projects to finish up. This is a sneak peak of a stamp set that will be available starting Tuesday at MFP called Christmas in the Country. I have water colored this sample on water color paper. Added Frosted Lace Stickles for the snow detail.

Speedy the Cats Friends challenge # 76/No designer paper

That is an easy one for me. I rarely use designer paper. I like making my own. This is a sneak peak of a brand new set that will be available on Tuesday from Marks Finest Papers called Country Thanksgiving. This scarecrow is my newest favorite stamp. Isn't he cute.

My MFP Debut/ Speedy the Cats Friends Challenge # 75

Today marks my first day as a DT Member for Marks Finest Papers and their blog Speedy the Cats Friends. The Challenge is to use Polka Dots. I had to think about this one for awhile. Then I remembered this technique. I like the way the card turned out.

 To celebrate my first challenge I am going to show you how I made my card. The stamps are from MFP. The set is called Poppies Poppies Poppies. Ribbon is also from MFP.
Here are the supplies needed. Make sure your ink pads are lighter than the markers you are going to use but from the same color family.

                                 Stamp your image on regular white or a light colored card stock.

Now take your first finger dauber and the first color and work in a circular motion to form your dots.

                                       Now repeat with the second dauber and second ink pad.

                                                  Color your image with your markers.

Next take your reinker, and I ended up using Old Paper distressed ink. The pumice stone was too dark for my liking. On your work surface make a little puddle.

Wet your water brush or paint brush with the ink and tap it across your fingers splattering your image.

I cut the image out with one of the Spellbinder label dies. The layer behind is is a white piece of card stock sponged with Distress inks Wild Honey, Marmalade and Rusty Hinge. Added the ribbon around the layer. I finished the card with little round embellishments which added more polka dots. I hope you join in on the fun and enter your Polka Dot card. You could win a set of MFP stamps.
