Nuthatch

This week's Friends of Speedy TV challenge at Mark's Finest Papers - A Heinrich Co. is a birthday theme, found here: http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/  I originally wanted to make a masculine card but I've fallen in love with this 'Blush Sweet Bouquet' paper by My Mind's Eye and can't use it enough!! I colored the MFP Nuthatch with copic markers and raised with foam tape on Spellbinder scalloped circles and a label die. The lacy edge die is by Sweet N Sassy Stamps, found here: http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/categories/NEW-Dies/ . I used embossing folders on the designer papers and added black and white gingham ribbon.
Hope you have a great day!!

I love making whimsical cards, I can't help but feel cheerful when working with beautiful bright colors and coloring adorable images, like this bird and cupcake from Inky Antics.  I colored them with Tombow markers and added foam tape for dimension.
The designer paper is by Crate Paper and I embossed all with embossing folders. I added a My Favorite Things lace oval die and lace edge die, two Clear Dollar Stanps labels behind the sentiment, and Spellbinder oval and scalloped oval.  The sentiment is by Sweet N Sassy. TFL!!

I made this for the week 2 Verve October sketch  and this weeks Way to Use - Pink challenges over at SplitcoastStampers.com. The Spellbinders scalloped hearts are placed on a Marianne scalloped circle die. The rose was made with the new SB Spiral Blossom 1 and the leaves were made with the Verve leaf stamp and die.  I added seam binding ribbon, a My Mind's Eye brad,  and a Verve sentiment. TFL!!

I've been fighting sinus conjestion this week and this My Favorite Things Fred Bear image alway cheers me up, so I had to bring it out for this week's sketch challenge (https://www.mftstamps.com/blog/?cat=18).  I colored Fred (https://www.mftstamps.com/)with copics and used the sentiment from the MFT 'Apple for You' set. The paper is from My Mind's Eye and I embossed with embossing folders,the strip behind Fred includes a MFT scalloped scallop die, and a Magnolia lace edge die.  The sweet little flower is also a MFT die with a Stampin Up button in the center. Thanks for looking!!
