MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 555

 Hi All!

Every Wednesday on the My Favorite Things blog they post a new sketch challenge. This week's challenge was to use Sketch 555.

I love getting to use the Sending Sweet Celebration Wishes stamp set. All the critters in this stamp set are adorable and ready to celebrate anything. I took the sketch and flipped it so that the fox with the present would be facing in towards the rest of the card. I also used the little cupcake and one of the confetti strips from the stamp set to stamp in the new Salvaged Patina Distress Ink on the blue cardstock strip to create a cool pattern piece. 

Supplies Used: White Smooth Cardstock, Blue Cardstock, MFT Stamp (SY Sending Sweet Celebration Wishes), Lawn Fawn Paper (Shimmer Cardstock - Tropical (Green)), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Salvaged Patina), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter), Tape Runner

Thanks Laurie

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #98 - Happy Spring

Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #98 is called Happy Spring.

I loved the flowers in the vase image in the challenge prompt that I wanted to create a flower arrangement to brighten someone's day. I am not a huge fan of flower arrangements as I am scent sensitive. I think they look pretty but I have a hard time with them being in my space so I thought that one made with paper and copies could be just as pretty & thoughtful as real flowers. I liked the sentiment of "Sunshine to brighten your day!" as a play on the word sunshine and the sunflower. 

 

Supplies: White Cardstock, Blue Cardstock, Gold Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Our Friendship Grows, Butterfly Kisses Flip Flop, All The Clouds), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Thanks Laurie

    Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #97 is called Inspired By Book, Movie or Song.

For this challenge I was inspired by the song Octopus's Garden by the Beatles on the Abby Road album. 

The Ocean Shell-ife stamp set is perfect for creating the Octupus's Garden under the sea with a large octopus, jellyfish, fish, seaweed, rocks and clams. I really wanted to use the seaweed and rocks to bring the octopus's garden to life with a few friends to create a party. 

Supplies: White Cardstock, Kraft Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Stamp (Ocean Shell-ife), Lawn Fawn Die (Stitched Hillside Borders), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Peacock Feathers, Vintage Image), MFT Stencil (Making Waves), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #97- Inspired By Book, Movie or Song

 Hi All!

Lawn Fawn has this challenge blog where usually every two weeks a new challenge is posted.  Challenge #97 is called Inspired By Book, Movie or Song.

For this challenge I was inspired by The Aristocats movie with the family of cats taking a family portrait at the end of the movie. I loved this movie when I was a kid. 

With my inspiration in mind I used the Meow You Doin' and Say What? Pets to create the family of cats from the Aristocats. I stamped the cat images and started colouring each cat to look like one of the main characters. I wanted to use the the Aristocats cat family to create an adorablely cute birthday card. 

Supplies: White Cardstock,  Lawn Fawn Stamp (Meow You Doin', Say What? Pets, Critter Chatter: Pets), Lawn Fawn Paper (Perfectly Plaid Remix - Jessica Remix), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Hickory Smoke), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 533

 Hi All!

Every Wednesday on the My Favorite Things blog they post a new sketch challenge. This week's challenge was to use Sketch 533.

I love getting to use the Up In The Air stamp set. So for this card I wanted the hot air balloon to be the big star of the design. I stencilled out 3 sets of clouds and fussy cut them out to make 3 levels of clouds along the bottom of the card before positioning the Hot Air Balloon in the center of the card. I added a banner, a dog face and 2 clouds to finish off the top of the card before adding the sentiment along the bottom left of the card on the top level of clouds.

Supplies Used: White Smooth Cardstock, Blue Cardstock, MFT Stamp (Up In The Air), MFT Stencil (Clouds), Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass), Lawn Fawn Stamp (All The Clouds, Really High Five), Memento Black Ink, Various Copics, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Pop Dots, Wink of Stella (Clear Glitter)
