Princess Velvet's Double Challenge



Now you all know I cant miss a sketch challenge! I just didnt get to finish it yesterday!LOL! I love doing sketch challenges! This card uses sc149 I already had all my images colored and when Julia posted velvet challenge today I worked it into my card. The only velvet I had was a couple pieces of scrap ribbon so I tabbed (???) it underneath the main image. I love this little princess image from Missy B Designs. This is Alexas set if youre not familar with her story click on Laurens blog on the sidebar: My time, My stampendence.

I colored the images w/primsacolor pencils and blended w/gamsol. I added stickles to all the jewels. I think it turned out pretty cute! Im off to eat lunch with the Mom. Hope you all have a great day!

Featured Stamper: JP Mayo

I made this card for todays featured stamper challenge. I love this challenge b/c it gives you a chance to case some great galleries. I chose Jimmie's Hanna card to case since I just got this set this week. I changed the dp, colors, sentiment, and added some stickles. I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. I pulled my colors from the polka dots from my dp with are unfortunately covered up by the image!LOL! I used the corner rounder for my scallops and my ticket corner punch for the main image. I made faux brads with my stickles. I didnt have enough room for the entire sentiment so I only inked up the but... and the I need it is stamped on the inside of the card. Have a great day!

MFTSC03 Teacher Christmas

Ive been wanting to participate in the MFT sketch challenges on the member companies forum and I finally got a chance to today. I'm so behind on all the challenges! I had to change the sketch a little for it to work for my card which I normally dont try to do!

This is for mftsc03. I wanted to use my new KI memories dp and went from there. I paper pieced the teachers skirt and colored her w/prisma pencils. The teacher image is cut out of the box and layered on celery. I had to distress the edges b/c my fiskars messed up one of the sides. (note to self:need new blade!) I used the chalkboard image stamped in garden green and sentiment stamped in bravo burgundy under my angled dp. The image needed a little something more so I stamped the present image from home for the holidays and used my silver stickles. To finish off my card I added silver brads to all four corners.

I had fun making this card mixing the two sets and it was the first time I've tried an out of the box image. It took tow tries but I got it!LOL!

Recipe
stamps:MFT home for the holidays, MFT back to school
Paper: ki memories dp, bravo burgundy, certainly celery, PTI white
Ink: garden green, pink passion, bravo burgundy
Other: silver stickles, silver brads, prismacolor pencils, sponges, dimensionals, oval fiskars

Holiday Triple Challenge


Did ya miss me?!!?LOL! We have been busy picking up pecans here. We have 7 trees we've been picking up from. I think this weekend we are going to shake the trees and that should wrap it up.

Todays challenge was to make a holiday card that could easily be mass produced and flat (no knots or dimensionals, etc.). When I think of mass producing bold image stamps come to mind so I went looking through my stamps. I didnt have any that didnt require coloring! So I pulled out all my acrylic sets since I wanted to also used Thursday's chalk it out challenge. I love using chalk inks on my acrylic stamps. I found this flower in my green thumb set from PTI. PERFECT!! I stamped the larger image with Versamagic aegan blue and the smaller in starlite silver. I added silver stickles to the centers. The main image is layered with bayou and basic gray. I stamped the PTI sentiment from faux ribbon on the bayou card base. The textured silver cs was from a metallic stack from DCWV. For the flat ribbon I used my basic gray taffeta ribbon.
Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
