My Favorite Things Color Challenge #2

 


I hope everyone is having a great weekend and sneaking in a little craft time!  

In case you hadn't heard, My Favorite Things has begun their weekly challenges again.  Woo-Hoo!  Every Wednesday they will be posting either a sketch or color inspired challenge.  Hope you will come join the fun!

My card features the retired MFT Birth-yay stamp by Birdie Brown.  The image was colored with Copic Markers and layered onto various MFT designer papers.  Twine and gems finish the card.  

The card design was inspired by MFT designer Zoe.  You can check out her adorable card HERE.

My Favorite Things Final Sketch Challenge #705



 
As they say:  "All good things must come to an end".  I have been playing along with the MFT sketch challenge from about #165.... A Long Time.   The MFT team announced that this will be the final sketch challenge, and of course, I had to play along.

My card features the retired MFT Adorable Adventures designed by Birdie Brown.  The images were stamped, die cut and colored with alcohol markers then sponged with Danube Blue Memento ink.  The circle dies were adhered to paper from the MFT Happy Trails paper pad.  A coordinating MFT Birthday sentiment and enamel dots finish the card.


My card was also inspired by one of the new challenges on the MFT blog - Card Cue.

This month's Card Cue inspiration challenge is Summer Lovin'.

I would like to share my card with the following:

Sweet November - Dolphin Hugs

 

Good morning!  I'm stopping in to share a fun ocean themed card that I created for the Sweet November Mer-May challenge.  My card features Dolphin Hugs digital stamp.

The image was printed onto X-Press It card stock, colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  It was adhered to designer paper from Echo Park's Under the Sea collection with dimension tape.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. A few dew drops from my stash finish the scene.

MFT Sketch and Time Out Birthday

 


I'm joining the current sketch challenge at My Favorite Things with their Celebrate Everything Card Kit.  I love this kit and have enjoyed using it.  Birthday cards seem to be what I make the most.

I've used the balloon die and pattern papers from the kit.  The birthday sentiment also came in the card kit. 

I hope everyone is having a great weekend and blessed Sunday!

My Favorite Things Sketch and Color Challenges

 



I'm joining the sketch and color challenges at MFT with a mixed media birthday card.  I pulled out an older/retired MFT set from 2013 called LJD Pretty Poppies.  

The solid poppy images were stamped in Brick Red distress ink on kraft card stock then a black pen used the trace the outline. The border word stamp was used repeatedly on the panel then spritzed with brown walnut stain.

Di's Digi Stamps Challenge - Dies and/or Punches

 


I'm joining the current challenge at Di's Digi Stamps Challenge Blog to use Die Cuts and/or Punches.  My card features Di's adorable Three Chilly Penguins digital stamp.

The digital image was printed onto X-Press It card stock and colored with Copic markers.  I recently purchased the Nesting Landscape Arches Die by Waffle Flower.  It worked perfectly for the shaped card base and image panel.  Die cuts from My Favorite Things were used for the snowy scene - Sweet Snowflakes and Icicle Border.

I applied icicle Stickles to the border and the snowflakes were cut using silver glittery card stock.  The designer paper is from my stash.

I would like to share my card with the following:

Art Impressions Challenge - April Showers

 


I'm joining the current April Showers Challenge at Art Impressions.  The AI Design Team is looking for crafty projects using rain, rainbows, rainboots, umbrellas, clouds, puddles etc!

After searching through my somewhat extensive AI stamp collection I couldn't believe there were no umbrellas, rainboots or rainbows to be found.  But I can always create with clouds!

I pulled out a favorite (now retired) AI set - His & Hers Gardeners.  The gardner image was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  It was layered onto cloudy designer paper from Bo Bunny.  The sentiment, fence die and cornstalk die are from My Favorite Things.

Art Impressions - Inside Out Challenge #347

 


I'm joining the current challenge at Art Impressions with the adorable Submarine Cubbies set.  The current challenge is to create both the inside and front of your card.  

For ease of photographing, I did not mount the inside of my card immediately.  The left image is the card itself (front) and the right image is the inside panel.

My card front started with a MFT sunray stencil and blue cardstock from Stampin' Up!  The submarine and ocean critters were die cut, colored and layered onto the stenciled panel.  A fun ocean floor scene from Impression Obsession was stamped on the bottom edge.


 A wave stencil from MFT was used on the inside panel.  A couple of ocean critters from the Submarine Cubbies set were combined with seaweed, silhouette fish and rock from MFT to create the inside scene.

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #637

 


Playing along with this week's sketch challenge at My Favorite Things.  My card features the adorable Retired Fast Track Friends and MFT Fast Track die-namic.

This set is perfect for little boy birthdays.  I'm sad to see that it is retired.  I've had a lot of fun with it!

The images were colored with Tombow Markers and layered onto papers from BoBunny Detour paper pad.

My Favorite Things Sketch and Color Challenges



I got a chance to spend quality time catching up with my sister this weekend by phone.  We live over 2000 miles apart with a 3-hour time difference so it can be difficult to catch one another.  Yes, we text often, but talking by phone is the next-best-thing to seeing her in person.  I guess that's why this sweet PI set came to mind today!


 

I'm joining the color and sketch challenge at My Favorite Things with a retired PI - A Phone Call Away.  The image was colored with Copic Markers then die cut with a Wonky Stitched die.

The image was layered onto papers from MFT and Pink Paislee Switchboard.  A sentiment from the same set finishes the card.

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #632

 


Happy Saturday!  I hope everyone gets to enjoy a little crafty time this weekend.  

I {LOVE} a good sketch challenge!  The team at MFT always provides a fun and challenging sketch.  I pulled out a favorite MFT set designed by Birdie Brown (Torico) called Friends at First Sip for this week's sketch.  

The sweet images were stamped onto watercolor paper and colored then blended with Tombow markers.  They were layered onto papers from MFT Creepy Confections paper pad.  The birthday sentiment is from a retired MFT set - PI All Occasion Sentiments.  A few enamel dots from my stash finish the card.

This will be going to my coffee-loving niece next month for her 11th birthday!

My Favorite Things Sketch #627

 


I'm joining this week's sketch challenge at My Favorite Things.  I chose to create a tag this week featuring New Best Friend.

The image was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  The mixed media tag started by using decofoil transfer gel duo and a star stencil.  Once dried I ran it through my Cuddlebug with a foil sheet.  White acrylic paint was splattered then designer papers applied.  An organdy ribbon finishes the tag.
