Speedy's Friends Challenge #27

Hi there! This week at Speedy's Friends, Vicki is challenging us to make a holiday card. Which is perfect as I really need to get mine going.


The image for my card is from "Greetings of the Season" by Mark's Finest Papers. We don't have Cardinals around here but we do have beautiful Blue Jays, so I went with that.
I colored the bird with copic's . Card stock and ribbon are from MFP and the Basic Grey DP is also from MFP.
Hope you can join us and Remember, for every 50 entries we get there is a winner of a stamp set from MFP!! If you use MFP stamps, you are entered twice and you can enter more than once.

Have a great week-end and thanks for stopping by

Autumn Blessings

Hi there!! How you all doing? I have been playing around with my stamps and made this card for Vicki's sketch challenge over at Stamp TV.
The stamp set I used is Theresa Mombers new set " Fanciful Fall by GKD. The DP is Basic Grey and ribbon is from Mark's Finest Papers. I stamped the tree in black memento and added white gel pen to highlight. I used a small flower punch and added a half pearl. The sponging around the tree is Memento in Cantaloupe and Tangelo. The die cut is Spellbinders.


I really need to clean up this mess in my stamping area as I can't find a thing!!! But first I off to see what you all have been up to!
Thanks for stopping by.
