MFT Challenges Part 2

Hello again!
You may have remembered me mentioning in my last post that I am a bit mad for MFT at the moment.  Not to sound like a groupie, but MFT was my very first stamping company I bought from and I am a devoted fan.  I just love everything they do.
Well, enough gushing.  I have a second card for some challenges.  Here is my second entry into the MFT color Challenge #70.


This card uses my new addiction, MFT's Fancy Flowers stamp set.  I am sure there is one stamper out there that can understand the fact that I agonized over which MFT flower set to get first. Should it be a great background stamp?  Their Doodle sets are awesome - should they be first?
I decided on Fancy Flowers first due to its unique flowers.  They are just super cool.

I stamped the flowers in Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder and practiced with my watercolor set to find the correct colors to make the challenge.  I am just starting my MFT ink collection and have exactly ONE.  So I need to use watercolors to be in these challenges.
Once I found the correct combo, I started my card and again Versamarked the flowers and embossed them.  I painted the flowers and background.  I needed a pop, so I fussy cut the "practice" flowers and foam taped them on top of the flowers that I had stamped directly on my background.

I used the Simon Says Stamp "YOU Matter" stamp & die set for the sentiment as sadly this set does not come with sentiments. I used the same blue for the background per challenge specs.
I am digging this stamp set and have more cards in this little head of mine - can't wait to actualize them!
Until then...

Hi there! If all of a sudden this post just stops mid sentence it is because my computer died.  Its almost there man!  Any day now... I am here today with this card I made last night... Here is is from another angle... I am really loving this card. At first, I was making it for the  Simon Say Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog .  Which I still am.  But as I am painting this card, I realized that the inspiration behind this card is actually from the  CAS-ual Fridays CAS01 May Challenge .  Actually their first encouragement  challenge.  This card is what I see in the picture from that challenge. I started this card with a piece of 140 lb watercolor paper.  I stamped the sentiment from Concord & 9th in Versamark and embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing powder.  I heat set and stamped the flowers in each corner the same way.    I took out my new watercolors (eek, still exciting!) and started add...

Lawn Fawnatics and A Blog Named Hero Challenges

Image
Hey everyone.  Well, I am very lucky as my October Monthly Hero Arts kit came just in time!  I wanted to use the dies on a tag I was making for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge.  I kept it un-assembled until I received my package yesterday.   This tag is being entered into the  Lawnfawnatics Challenge 14 : Happy Critters  and the  A Blog Named Hero - Calling all Critters .  The Blog Named Hero Challenge is using both Hero Arts and Lawn Fawn products.  I expect to enter more as the October kit and Lawn Fawn play very nicely together! I used Toboggan together set and colored it with Spectrum Noir pens.  I made the background out of the mountain range die from the October HA kit.  I used Bristol Smooth paper and first inked it with DO Iced Spruce and Salty Ocean.  I cut it then used the mountain range stamp with white pigment HA ink to stamp some detail.  I also inked the edges of the range with the ink.  I...

Casology Week 247: Flow

Hey there, Stefanie here...back for some more challenge cards.  I was lucky enough to craft all day and I have a ton of cards to share.  I think I will just do a few more today, then update the blog more tomorrow.   I am trying to grow as a card designer and my favorite challenge that pulls me OUT of my comfort zone is the CASology challenge.    Here is my entry for the CASology Week 247 Challenge - keyword is Flow.   This may be one of the favorite cards I have made this weekend.  Here are the details: I started using the ink cubes I got with my Hero Arts May kit, Deep Blue and Aqua.  I blended them onto a piece of 110 lb white paper.  I seriously love this ink.  I am really excited to actually stamp with it, but today I just blended it.  I saw a video from Jennifer McGuire a few days ago in which she said that Hero Arts inks have a special quality.  You can put Versamark on them and ...
