 Hi There - 

Its a bit nippy out this evening.  I am finishing laundry and playing with my crafty toys.  Hubs was a sweetie and brought me a meal, letting me extend my crafty session.

 First up - Just Us Girls - Leaves

I fell in love with these ginkgo leaves from The Greetery.  I cut them from white card, then added fossilized amber distress ink with a blending brush. They were glued to a brown card base, a gold sentiment and some gold flat disks were added to finish the card.

 

 

Next up a card for Tic Tac Toe using the left side row. I'm also adding this card to the MFT color challenge.

The mouse is from MFT's Harvest Mouse set, I have had the set for a while and recently picked up the dies since its never leaving my stash! 

 

Thanks so very much for visiting.

Birthdays

Hi,

Another card today.  This time I'm playing along with MFT's Color Challenge.

I chose the Happy Birthday Candles die from MFT.  I pulled a piece of white card and inked the bottom in a blue/purple shade and a good orange above.  It wasn't exact but I liked that some of the candles got a bit of orange.  To make them a touch glossy the inked card was clear embossed.

When time came to put the candles on a card panel, I left the pieces in the die and added liquid glue to the backs, set the die down on the panel and used my bone folder to press them to the panel.  This kept the fab spacing from the die.  I added a bit of foam tape to every other candle flame just to add a bit of interest to the card.  The sentiment was stamped and clear embossed on a pale gray bit of card and cut with the slant sentiment dies.



Thanks so much for stopping by.

Wish Big

Hello -

Did everyone survive the 4th?  In our neighborhood it sounded like we were in a war zone. So many people had fireworks.  Not small ones either, the big booming ones.  I just feel bad for all the animals that have anxiety.  Hopefully they are done now.  They've been going off for a bout 10 days now, but last night was by far the longest and loudest.

I finally got my crafty space cleaned up some...aka the vacuuming was done; seems to make the room feel clean when I am without small bits of paper all over the floor.

I am playing along at MFT today - with both their color and sketch challenge. I love the odd bit of botanical whimsy and I thought the colors would work well. MFT stamps are Bitty Birthday Wishes and Wild Flowers. I used the pinks and yellow on the baubles and colored over the stem with a dark green copic to incorporate all the colors.
