Floating Along Sneak Peak

This stamp set is a sneak peak of one of the 4 sets that will be released next week over at Mark's Finest Papers   This set is called "Floating Along".  I find it so peaceful and serene.   I just love it.  I made this card for today's color combination challenge over on SCS.

Stamps:  Floating Along by MFP
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, rich razzleberry, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight
Ink:  Palette Charcoal

I hope you are all having a wonderful week.  I am off from work today and tomorrow, so I hope to get some stamping done for the blog hop that begins next Tuesday.  Remember, if you comment on the cards during the hop you have a chance to be next months guest designer and win all 4 stamp sets plus the embellishments for that month.  The more days you play, the more chances you have to win!

Happy Stamping!

Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge Week #57

 

This was such a fun challenge this week over on Speedy's Blog .   We were suppose to use ivory & lace.  I thought about this challenge all week and finally came up with this card.  I'm pretty happy with it, but wish I would have added a pearl spray, or individual pearls to it.  I think it would have been much more elegant.  Oh well, next time.......

Stamps:  Brick Wall
Paper:  Prima papers "Botanicals", Corn Husk
Ink:  Pear Pizzaz, Crumb Cake
Misc:  lace, Prima flowers

I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day.  Please keep all of our military in your thoughts and prayers.

Happy Stamping!

Giraffe's Everywhere

I made this card for the inspiration challenge this past Saturday on SCS.  My inspiration was a giraffe scarf .  I chose to use the MS leaf punch because giraffes eat leaves.    I thought that was a cute punch.  I made the BG paper using the large giraffe head stamp. 

Stamps:  African Veldt by Mark's Finest Papers

Ink:  Tim Holtz Distress Ink Dried Marigold

Paper:  Aged Marigold, Corn Husk by Mark's Finest Papers

Misc:  MS leaf border punch, pop dots

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Happy Stamping!
