Friends of Speedy TV Challenge Week 7

The challenge this week is to decorate the inside of the card. This is something I usually do just before mailing a card bit sometimes the designs falls onto the center without any effort.

Stamps are from MFP a Heinrich Company as well is the ribbon and paper. Cheery Lynn flourish die.

A fun technique/ TLC364

 This morning when I checked out the Splitcoast Stampers challenges for today I knew the technique one was right up my alley and going to take up most of the morning. I have a stack now of some new cool backgrounds. Very easy to do and everyone is different. I'm using it to make the CAS157 Challenge card also which was a sketch this week. Stamps are from MFP a Heinrich Company. This is a background you can stamp on.

I also had a chance to go to Stampfest Saturday in Clearwater, FL. I made a few purchases. Mainly dies and stencils. This is a Martha Stewart Punch Anywhere on the Page punch. I need a little more practice with it.  The design reminded me of an Amish wedding ring quilt so I used 2 stamps from the Trip to Lancaster set from MFP a Heinrich Company.

I purchased all 3 dies here. The Lattice and Butterlies are from Cheery Lynn. The flourish I believe is a Marianne. The butterflies and the image were sponged with dye inks. Images MFP a HC.

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 94-- Make a different shaped card

This week we are making something other than the normal A2 sized card. The challenge is make a shaped card. I used a doily die from Cheery Lynn and a brand new image from MFP a HC being introduced next week.

The design is colored with Copics and then I clear embossed the whole image and cut it out. I used Bakers twine weaved in and out around the center.

CC361

This is for Splitcoast stampers color combo, suede, poppy and daffodil. I don't have these colors so tried to come close. I have been working on and off for 2 days trying to put this card together. I started out by cutting out a number of shapes and then started layering them looking for the right combination. Nothing was working and before you knew it I had wrapped ribbon around a piece of Kraft. From there it took on a life of it's own not really letting me know what the plan was until it was finished. The Dogwood image was water colored using watercolor paper, Tombow markers and a water brush.
