Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge~~Joseph's Coat

Our Speedy Fox & Friends challenge this week is to make a Joseph's Coat card.   This is my first one.  I'm not real pleased with the way it turned out.  I think this is a technique that I am going to have to have a little more practice with.  The butterfly stamp is from the set "Birthday Mini" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.

Stamps:  Birthday Mini
Paper:  Lime Squeeze
Ink:  Versa Mark, Momento Tuxedo Black, multicolor pad
Misc:  Clear Embossing Powder, ribbon

I hope you'll give this unique technique a try this week.

Happy Stamping!

Speedy Fox & Friends challenge~~Window Cards

For this week's Speedy Fox & Friends blog challenge we are making window cards.  I thought for a long time about using a die & cutting out a window in my card.  Then I decided to use a circle nestie and cut a window out for my cut little bunny to peak through.  This image is from the stamp set "Spring Things" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  The top photo is the outside of the card, and the bottom photo is the inside.  I used my Cricut to cut out the grass from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.  The little flowers are from Prima.  I colored my little bunny with my Spectrum Noir pens. 

Stamps:  Spring Things
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, green from my stash
Ink:  Momento Tuxedo Black
Misc:  Prima Flowers, Cricut, Plantin Schoolbook cart, Spectrum Noir alcohol pens

Please play along with us this week.  We'd love to see your creation!

Happy Stamping!

Speedy Fox & Friends~~Use White Embossing Powder

 

h

This week's blog challenge for Speedy Fox & Friends is to use white embossing powder.  I love white on red, and so I used the stamp set "Love Script" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  I thought it was the perfect set to use white embossing powder.  I used Versa Mark to stamp the background and then used MFP embossing powder white to make the background. 

Stamps:  Script Love, Love Love Love
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Cherry Slush by MFP
Ink:  Versa Mark, Riding Hood Red
Misc:  Nesties ribbon banner, pop dots, MFP Embossing Powder white

Thanks for stopping by today!

Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Cherry Slush by MFP, DSP
Ink:  Tim Holtz Distress Ink Barn Door, Crushed Olive
