MFT Sketch 345 and SSS Challenges - Wahoo, I'm back to blogging!

Sigh, It has been a super long time since I have been participating in craft therapy.  Its been a rough month.  My brother passed away at what we thought was a healthy 48.  I had all 4 kids home for summer break and we got a adorable puppy.  Recipe for there being absolutely no time or no motivation to create.

But, my craft mojo is coming back.  And I am spoiling myself but putting me first.  (And the kids are back in school - finally!!).

My first card is for 3 challenges:


I love this card!  I took some pastel rainbow shades and cut the circles with my circle stack dies.  Before I attached them to my A2 panel, I stamped the left edge with the clouds from MFT Magical Unicords in Prima Island Lagoon Ink.
I stamped the Unicorn from MFT Magical Unicorn stamp set with my favorite ink -Simon Says Stamp and colored with Spectrum Noir markers in PL1 and PL2.  I love the SSS ink as you can either watercolor or marker color with this ink.  
I stamped the sentiment with SSS Black ink along the bottom of my panel.  The sentiment is from MFT Handwritten Happiness.
To finish the card, I used my Spectrum glitter pens to color over the wing, mane and nose of the unicorn. 

Now I just need to send it off to my niece!

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

Image
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 ...
