Whale of a Tale

For the SCS Sketch, I decided to try out my new Lawn Fawn Critters in the Sea stamps and dies.

The background was stamped with the MFT Wood Plank Background stamp in Cement Gray and all of the dies are MFT die-namics.  The water background was water colored with Distress ink and the images colored with copic markers.

Pink Peonies and Butterfies

The SCS Color Challenge colors are:

WILD WASABI
POWDER PINK
CHOCOLATE CHIP
CRUMB CAKE

For the color challenge, I started with retired designer paper by Heartfelt Creations and cut out the butterfly strip with the new HFC Butterfly Dreams Border, the butterflies were stamped  with the matching stamps and sponged with Powder Pink and Crumb Cake.  The edges were trimmed with the HFC Fleur Border Basics Die.

The peonies were created with the HFC Large and Small Sweet Peony stamps and dies and the leaves were made with the HFC Classic Rose stamps and dies, and the Wildwood Florals.

Stamens were added to the center of the large peony and all of the flowers and butterflies were coated in glitter.

Nicest Thoughts

I made this card today for the Verve Color green challenge and the SCS Ways to Use It Challenge - Quote.

For my card, I used the Verve Bloom Brighter stamp set to create my background, sponging the flowers with ink.  The smaller flower was cut out from the Verve Surely Goodness set and added to the front with foam tape.

The heart was made with the Heartfelt Creations Eyelet Heart Die, the sentiment is from the Verve Nicest Thoughts stamp and was stamped on a MFT Cross Stitch Rectangle Stax die.

Stickles glitter glue was added to the flower centers for extra sparkle.

Butterfly With Peonies

I'm playing along today with the SCS Sketch.

I received my Heartfelt Creations Butterfly Dreams Collection today, and you can see that I've used a paper panel here, I cut the center out and placed the square die from the HFC Butterfly Kisses Decorative Die in black behind.

I've added some peonies made with HFC Large Sweet Peonies Stamps and Dies.  The stamens were made with the Sunrise Lily Die, dipped in glue and yellow prills.

Stickles glitter glue was added to the cage and butterfly, and accent dots of Nuvo Crystal Drops were added for dimension.

Tropical Hibiscus

The SCS Color Challenge colors this week are:

flirty flamingo
island indigo
pool party

Although our spring weather is mild here, I could still use a little tropical paradise and the color challenge colors are perfect!  I used the Heartfelt Creations Under the Sea Collection for all of the designer paper and sentiment tag, the flowers, shells, and seahorse are also from this collection.

The HFC Classic Border Basics and HFC Delicate Border Basics dies to create the lacy edge.

All of the images were sponged with the color challenge colors and then sponged with glue and Rajni Chawla's Crystal Clear Glitter was added.

Out of the Box Safari

I'm playing along today in the SCS Free for All - Zebra Challenge and the MFT Sketch 378.

For the challenges, I colored the images from the MFT Sweet Safari stamp set with copics and used MFT Die-namics, MFT paper pads, and enamel dots to complete the sketch.

Elephants and Butterflies

I'm making a card today for the SCS Ways To Use It Challenge - Butterflies, and the MFT Color Challenge 90.

For the challenges, I used the MFT BB Adorable Elephants and MFT Die-namics.  The background was water colored and the critters were colored with copic markers.
