The final MFT Camp Create is Stunning Shadow Stamping. This was a fun challenge…and new to me. First I stamped with Hero Arts Unicorn white pigment ink, then offset on top of that I used Hero Arts Cornflower ink. I think it looks nice on the blue cardstock. I used a few light blue sequins […]

Dry Embossed Background
So I struggled with this MFT Camp Create – Divine Dry Embossing. I don’t have many dies, but I did find one that might work…these daisies. I ran the card through my Big Shot machine multiple times with a rubber mat in order to emboss these flowers onto the shimmery yellow paper (from Bazzill). Then […]
Single Layer Card with MFT
Today’s MFT Camp Create Bonfire Challenge is Single Layer Savvy. Oftentimes it requires much masking and patience to make a single layer card. I have not done many of these type of cards (yet), but this time I thought I’d jump right in! I used my Prismacolor pencils for the coloring, and distress inks for […]
Emboss Resist Butterflies
It’s all about Remarkable Resist at MFT Camp Create. And I couldn’t resist playing with the Sweet Forest Friends stamp set for this one! I embossed those butterflies with white embossing powder, then inked on some distress inks. I think it’s so cute how that bunny is looking up at the butterflies. Then I colored up […]
Awesome Ombre Flamingo
For todays MFT Camp Create Challenge, I am entering the following pink Ombre card: I used the darling Flamingoes die from My Favorite Things on a watercolored panel I made. Didn’t that watercoloring give the body of the flamingo so much interest and movement?! And, yes, I am a crazy person for gluing on all […]
Monochromatic Chameleon
Today I’m participating in the MFT Camp Create: Monochromatic Magic. I’ve been waiting for just the right card for this adorable chameleon, and it all came together for this challenge. See how the chameleon just blends in with his surroundings? So cute. So it turns out that I have a bit of turquoise/teal colored items: paper, […]
Pattern Palooza!
I certainly used a lot of patterns on this one! Had some fun, too. These are almost all Lawn Fawn papers and stamps. Notice the polka dot wings on the fairies (good thing I didn’t add that to their skin…hello, chickenpox!). Notice the pattern on the mushrooms. Notice the pattern of the sky, grass, and […]
Essentials by Ellen Mix it Up Challenge!
Today I’m participating in the Essentials by Ellen Mix it up Challenge for August with Winnie & Walter! This card was a challenge for me. I used my Akayashi Sai watercolor markers and blended 3 colors together on the beautiful Hydrangea by Ellen Hutson. I love how it turned out, but it took me four […]
Fairyland of Gold pathways
Well, it has been a while since I’ve posted. I just may have forgotten how to blog! Hopefully it will all come back. Here’s the card that made me want to blog again: This cute fairyland has pathways of rainbow and gold and clouds that are sparkling clear! I used Lawn Fawn stamps, Akashiya Sai […]
Christmas Tree Baubles
Wow, this technique was so fun but time consuming! In the Holiday Style Online Card Class, May Park had an awesome sample of a triangle tree shape stamped with all kinds of small stamps and I thought I’d give it a try. Turns out I have a LOT of small stamps that worked so well […]
