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!

I'm struggling trying to learn how to make scenic cards.  I guess this one turned out OK.  I stippled the background (sky & ground) and stamped the rest of the card.  I cut out and popped up the tent trying to add a little more dimension to the scene. 

Stamps:  In Tents, Scenic Selections
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth
Ink:  Tuxedo Black, green, grey
Misc:  Spectrum Noir pens, pop dots, cloud die
