Feeling Sketchy #7

Here is my take on this weeks Feeling Sketchy sketch. I have used a Technique Junkie Technique called Ghostly Spatters. It uses a product call Goosebumps. I picked up a bottle of this at Stampfest and had no idea what it was and set it back down. So when I found this technique and one other one I had to search until I found it for sale online. Had to know what it did. Being someone who likes to smoosh and spray inks this is a technique with my name all over it. I glittered my flamingos and the border stamp with Stickles. They are from the MFP a HC set called Flamingo Vacation just released this week. Don't you love the rainbow ribbon.

Mark's Finest Papers


I love this stamp set. I could color these daisies for hours. I used the leaf/ladybug stamp to make my Faux DP background. Stippled yellow in between each one. Then stamped the Happy Birthday.  I layered the single daisy image and attached to the front. All colored with Copics. 


My second card uses the triple daisy image. I have colored it with chalks. The background I made a long time ago. Found it in my stash. It is a resist technique. Matched my colors perfectly. 


Be sure to check out the Blog Hop and the rest of the Design Teams projects for lots of good ideas. .

Winter scene

This card is for the Crafty Hazelnut Christmas challenge. The challenge is to use mostly red & green.  The trees are from the MFP a HC new set Scenic Selections and the moose is from Christmas in the Country.

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 107--Use Chalk

When I first started stamping I did a lot of chalking. The last couple of years I just haven't gotten it out much. I used a Q tip to color in and around my daisy. This is for the Challenge over at Speedy Fox and Friends Blog Challenge. I cut an oval out of my top layer and used the same size oval to cut out my daisy. It was just a little plain so I looked for something to liven it up. I was just going to add a flourish here and a flourish there but before I knew it I had covered the whole oval. I have never put that much bling on any card I have ever made. The image has a nice soft look to it. The chalks made the coloring so easy.

Im so gullible

Did you know that at Speedy TV there is a swap every other month. You make 4 cards and you receive back 3 cards and a free set of stamps. It's a win win situation. This is part of the set I just received back with my March swap cards. Isn't he cute!! The set is called Gullible. The only requirement is your swap cards must use a Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Company stamp. So come on over and  join in on the fun and earn free stamps. They are having sign ups right now for the May swap. Cute beachy set is what we will receive back.

I've been in a scenery mood. Here is another small scene using a lighthouse from the Lighthouse set and the bird from the brand new Scenic Selections.

May Sneak Peaks Day 4

This is a set of sassy Flamingos on a vacation.  There are some real cute sayings to go along with them. I embossed this guy with a glittery pink EP and then colored in blank areas with markers. This is a version of the Criss Cross card. 

                          Don't forget to check out the Blog Hop next week to see all the new sets.

Craft a Scene

Thats a name of a Challenge Blog I found a few weeks ago. I've been following but have not done a challenge until today. I had made a few scenes today and decided to make one of them work. It was to include Spring flowers. I've used stamps from a couple of MFP a HC sets. ( Scenic Selections and Wild Horses ).I sponged the inside of a Nestibilites label die while still in the die. Masked the moon and when done sponging stamped my elements. The flowers are from a punch.
