I'm a little late with my post. Eeks! I took some crafty time yesterday morning - some quiet comfy time during rain and thunderstorms. (I love it.) But I couldn't find a window of opportunity to get them posted to my blog. It's just started raining again and I've got some "chores" complete, so I'm ready to race back up to my space and enjoy it some more. :)
I wanted to play along with the last session of MFT Summer School. :) I haven't been able to join in any of the other sessions (Boo!) since it was, well, summer. The Piglets were home and I just couldn't make it.
This card is LJD Sweet Treats fun for the first lesson: Repetition.
I stamped the cupcakes across my panel (Die cut using Blueprints 23) using Coconut Husk ink from WPlus9 and various icing colors (MFT Dye inks: Orange Zest, Limelight, Daffodil, Summer Splash, and Ripe Raspberry). I stamped "You're The Sweetest" repeatedly on the Ripe Raspberry card base using the same ink color. Happy Birthday is white embossed on Limelight cardstock and die cut a banner from the same Blueprints. I was happy with how it turned out.
Next up, I've made one for the Hard vs. Soft lesson.
I LURVE this Whole Herd stamp set!
My elements are die cut using Blueprints 13 and I tried to balance the hard edges from the banner and the chevrons with the polka dot curved banner and the die cut sentiment banner. The button and twine bow are added for further "softness". These images are all colored with Prismacolor Pencils.
My last card from yesterday is playing along with a brand new challenge. I've seen it popping up on a few blogs I follow. A new challenge blog is always exciting to me for some reason. 8-)
The new Pinterest Inspired Challenge:
I used my SSS Hi Lovely stamp set:
I loved this challenge partly because it gave me a great excuse to use my new Distress Inks, Cracked Pistachio and Fossilized Amber. They were perfect. I layered some paper scraps die cut in stitched fishtail banners (MFT) and over a dotted embossed Bazzil cardstock that I grabbed this week on a whim. It was a perfect match. 8-)
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit. Please do so again soon!
God Bless,
