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...

Lawn Fawnatics and A Blog Named Hero Challenges

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 embossed it all with sparkly EP for some shine.  I also stamped some snow

SSS Monday Challenge: Make your own Background

Happy Sunday! Just popping in with my card for the  SSS Monday Challenge: Make your own background .  I had the pleasure of making a simple Thank You card for a friend. I painted the card with layers of watercolored Indigo, attempting to make it look as the card was dipped. I cut 4 Lawn Fawn “Thanks” from 110 lb white paper and glued them together so they would pop. I finished it off with a few water droplets from Studio Katia.  Thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 20- Fun with Food !

Happy New Year!!! So, this year I have resolved to blog on a regular basis. I am currently scouring the internet for a blog planner. Any assistance is much appreciated! Today I am showing you my entry into   Lawnfawnatics Challenge 20 :  Fun with food!! I think Lawn Fawn has the best food stamps, and I was lucky to get “Baked with Love” stamp set for Christmas.  I am also entering this into the  Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge : A Spot of Blue. This is a birthday card for hubby as he likes CAS cards.  Also, this is the very first card I used masking on! Santa forgot the coordinating dies and I was forced to try masking. Which is also on my 2018 list of crafty things to try.   I stamped the images with Simon says Stamp black ink and colored with Copics and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I used a white pen for highlights and Glossy Accents on the heart and cupcake frosting which does not photograph at all!  I propped the card onto some lipstick red paper and mounted on
