A couple of Challenge cards

Hello all! Gee, it feels like I haven't been here in awhile. Live just get in the way!! I have a couple of challenge cards to share. This first one is for Ways to use it on SCS. To make a bookmark in a card or stand alone. I went with a stand alone bookmark. I recycled the package from Spellbinders Nestabilities to make a plastic bookmark.( 3 1/2 x 23/4) Stamp set is from Mark's Finest Papers " Black Eyed Susans for Encouragement" , colored with copic's and the card stock is from MFP.



This card was for the this weeks inspiration challenge on SCS. I just love these pears from "Pears and Hollyhock" by Mark's Finest Papers. The images were stamped twice and layer over each other. Colored with Copic's and the card stock is MFP. The sponging is white craft. I used the scor-pal for scoring and the button and ribbon is also MFP.


Thanks coming by and have a great day.

Stamp TV Facebook Challenge Card

Good morning! This morning I was looking at Jennie's challenge on STV FB page to use three different pattern papers on your card, well combining different patterns is always a challenge for me, so I decided to challenge myself!!! I stuck with one paper pack from Cosmo Cricket "Material Girl" to make it it easier!! Then using the colors I water colored the image, another new thing I decided to try!! The flower is from Prima cut in half and colored with Copic's . The image is Theresa Momber's "Heartfelt" by Gina K. Designs.


Hope you are having a great day and thanks for stopping by!!!

Good morning! Oh, you will just love this really cute set. A little info on this first card. I made the moon from a punch and sponged it and attached it to some Hazelnut CS from MFP and then stamped my background image from "Our Family Tree" by MFP. I sponged white craft ink around the edges. For a different look to the pumpkin I left off coloring the teeth and for a surprised look.Using a hole punch I colored the eyes and attached it to pop-dots. The die cut fence is from Spellbinder's , I colored the crows and cat with copic's.



This card was made earlier this week for a challenge but wanted to share it with you here as well. The images were colored with Copic's and the supplies for both cards came from MFP.


Be sure to check out the stunning creations the rest of the team has to show you.
