Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge~~My State

 

Our challenge for Speedy Fox & Friends this week is "My State".  The challenge is to stamp something that represents your state.  Since I live in Virginia, and the dogwood is our state flower I thought the "Dogwood Blossoms" set by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. was perfect. 

Stamps:  Dogwood Blossoms
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Pink Pirouette, Bella Rose DSP
Ink:  Palette Noir Black, Pink Pirouette
Misc:  Spectrum Noir pens, nesties, ribbon, hat pin

I hope you'll join us for the challenge this week, and show us something from your state!

Happy Stamping!

Speedy Fox & Friends challenge~~use pink, brown & white

 

I love pink & brown together!  I chose to use the stamp set "In My Den" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  I stamped the chair on some Bella Rose DSP that looked like upholstery fabric and cut it out.  I stamped the books, colored them with my Copics and cut them out also.  I decided that a Center Step card with the perfect background for this card.  I thought the big oversized brads looked like big buttons. 

 

Stamps:  In My Den

Paper:  Pink Pirouette, Bella Rose DSP

Ink:  Early Espresso

Misc:  white & brown polka dot ribbon, big brads

 

Please join us for our Speedy Fox & Friends challenge this week.  You may be the lucky winner of a wonderful Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. stamp set!

Stamps:  Oh Baby
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Wild Wasabi, Yo Yo Yellow, Debbie Mumm DSP
Ink:  Palette Noir Black
Misc:  nesties, Copics, punches, ribbon, brads, paper flowers
