I was able to spend a lot of time crafting this weekend and just finished up 6 more cards. Wow! So much fun!
This is one I made for the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 501. It’s fairly simple, but cute, I think.
I used my Maker to print & cut the strips, then used 5 shades of ink to color them in. After gluing the strips on, I stamped the fern buds (Lavinia stamp) & added the sequins. That’s it!
The next card I made for the MFT Color Challenge 146. I used another Lavinia stamp for this one.
Next I used blending brushes to add brown ink around the edges, mint/aqua on the bottom, and pink on the top. I used a coral ink inside the pods and then used a watercolor pen to remove some ink from inside the pods to add dimension. After gluing on pink & teardrop crystals, I added the sentiment strip.
I’m working on cards for the MFT Summer School. Four are done & I have one to go. I’ll post those shortly, once I’ve finished the last one.
Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
Happy Birthday Poppies
Here is the card I made for the Simon Says 8/3/20 Monday challenge. We were to make a birthday card.
I recently received a set of poppy stamps and dies, so I wanted to use them. In addition, I’ve been wanting to try stamping with heat embossing.
