Peace Wreath

This is my card for this week's featured stamper challenge on SCS.  I used a new stamp set that will be released  this week by Mark's Finest Papers called "Holly Greetings".  It was fun to color with my prismas and baby oil.  I hadn't used my prismas in a long time, and I had forgotten how much fun they are to color with! 

Stamps:  Holly Greetying by MFP
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Cherry Slush by MFP, Basic Grey "Wassail" paper pad
Ink:  Always Artichoke
Misc:  Prismas, baby oil, ribbon, charm

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

Happy Stamping!

Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge Week 76~~No Designer Paper

This week Linda challenges us not to use designer paper.  Well, we all know how much I love my designer paper, but this was a fun challenge.  I also used a new stamp set that is going to be released by Mark's Finest Papers called "Christmas in the Country".  You can't tell it from the photo, but I used diamond glaze on the lake to make it look frozen.  IRL it looks really cool--no pun intended.  LOL

Stamps:  Chirstmas in the Country
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Smashed Peas
Ink:  soft suede
Misc:  copics, moose brads, diamond glaze, stickles

I hope you'll join us for Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge this week.  You may even be the lucky winner of the stamp set "Greet the Day with Gerber". 

Happy Stamping!

Floral Tea

This is my card for today's Ways to Use it challenge over on SCS.  I haven't used this stamp set called "Floral Tea" by Mark's Finest Papers in a very long time.  I really had fun coloring it with my copics.  You can't tell in the photo, but the brown DSP has tiny blue dots on it that match the blue CS.  It's really pretty IRL.

Stamps:  Floral Tea
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, China Blue Eyes, Prima "Melody" paper pad
Ink:  Palette Charcoal, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Weathered Wood
Misc:  Copics, ribbon, charm

I hope you have a wonderful evening.  Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!  YEAH!!!!!!!

Happy Stamping!

In My Mother's Garden Watering Can

Today's sketch challenge over on SCS was pretty simple, but I'm not real happy with my card.  I think it would look better with light/pale pink CS for the background rather than the white I used.  I may remake it later tonight if I don't get too tired.  I've got a lot of work to do on the computer to get ready for next week's blog hop for Mark's Finest Papers  But I haven't used this stamp set in quite a while and I do love the way the watering can turned out! 

Stamps:  In My Mother's Garden by MFP
Ink:  Palette Charcoal, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Victorian Velvet
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Basic Grey  "Indian Summer" paper pad, regal rose
Misc: copics, nesties, Prima pearls

Have a wonderful evening!

Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge Week 75~~Use Polka Dots!

At first I thought this might be a hard challenge, then all of the sudden I was seeing polka dots everywhere.  I kept this card very clean & simple so that you could see the polka dots on my designer paper and my ribbon.   I think you could even count the eyes on the ghost as polka dots! LOL

The stamp set is from Mark's Finest Papers called Boo to You.  I think it's one of the cutest sets Faith has ever drawn!  I don't know how I'm going to use up all the Halloween cards I've made with this set!!

Stamps:  Boo to You by MFP
Ink:  Palette Noir
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Orangie smooth, Speedy the Cat Black Linen, orange polka dotted DSP by Recollections
Misc:  Copics, ghost paper clip, nesties, ribbon

I hope you will play along with us this week at Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge  You may even win the stamp set "Greet the Day with Gerber"!

Have a wonderful weekend!
