MFT Sketch Challenge 282 - Chirpy Chicks

Happy Monday!  

Here is a simple card to participate in this week's MFT Sketch Challenge.  



This is the sketch for this week's challenge. 

I know Easter is over but I just bought this Lawn Fawn Chirpy Chirp Chirp stamp and this gave me a chance to use it. Unfortunately, I didn't use any MFT products for this challenge but these chicks are overloaded with cuteness. 



It was a simple card to make. I had a lot of fun colouring the chicks in with Copic markers. They reminded me of Peeps marshmallows. I glued on the bunny hats and cotton tail. I stamped the sentiment with three different coloured Memento inks and then stamped it again with VersaMark ink to emboss it. Afterwards I embossed the white background with the We R Memory Keepers Dots embossing folder and glued on the chicks. 



Thank you for dropping by.

MFT Color Challenge #45 - Thank Mew

I am so excited to share with you my entry for the My Favorite Things Color Challenge #45.




This challenge features the 4 vibrant colors below.   




The stamps used were taken from the MFT Cool Cat stamp set and colored in with spectrum noir and copic markers. I used the flower pot stamp to create the flower bed. Stamping only half of the vase on each side and then connecting the lines with a black copic multiliner. The flowers were masked off and stamped multiple times. I had to fill in the stems and leaves with the copic multiliner. I also added in a smaller sized flower from a Lawn Fawn stamp set. 

The speech bubble and heart were taken from the Lawn Fawn Chirpy Chirp Chirp and Hello Sunshine stamp set. All were coloured in with spectrum noir and copic markers.




Thank you for stopping by.

Love Is In The Air for Pandas

It's love in the air. Wedding season is upon us and that means it's time to make a lovey, dovey wedding card. :)  Congratulations on the newly weds, Jolly and Annie. This special card was made for them. 



I used the Mama Elephant's Pandamonium stamp set for this. The pandas are so cute together in their wedding attire. The Top Hat and Bowtie were embossed in Gold Glitter and the flower on the panda's head is embossed in Red. The Rose is stamped with Memento Lady Bug and Bamboo Leaves ink. Lastly, all were outlined and coloured in Ranger's Glossy Accents to give it some dimension. The heart sequins in the banner was die cut with Mama Elephant's Confetti Die.



I wanted the envelop to feel some love as well. So I used Lawn Fawn's Violet's ABCs to stamp the names on the card and then embossed the envelope with We R Memory Keepers' Heart embossing folder. It will definitely be distinct from all the other envelopes.

Thank You Fairy Much Mom!

Hi Everyone 

Here is the Mother's Day card I created using Lawn Fawn's Fairy Friends stamp set. It's so cute and whimsical and perfect for this special occasion. 




I used copic markers to colour in the fairy and flowers. To make it look like the fairy is holding the flower, I used an x-acto knife to cut part of the fairy's arm and outlined the edges with a black marker to make it look complete. The chevron frame and the front hill is propped up with foam to give it dimension. 



These are the materials I used:

- Border Frame - Paper from Recollections Chevron Cardstock paper and cut with Double Stitch Diecut from AliExpress
- Polka Dot Hills - Paper from Recollections Primary Pin Dot Cardstock paper and cut with SimonSaysStamp Stitched Slopes and Hills
- Flowers & Fairy - Coloured with Copic Markers: RV00/RV21/RV13V04/V06/V09Y11/Y13/Y35YR04/YR07/R14/R29
- Background - Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade and Worn Lipstick
- Thank you - Versafine Onyx Pigment Ink and Zing Clear embossing powder



The same technique is used on this card.
