This A2 card was started with a white base.  Cutting 2 additional pieces of the same white cardstock (less 1/8" on each side - or 2 pieces 5 1/4" x 4 1/4") which I then "painted" with Folk Art #2875 Jellybean Pink Extreme Glitter and #2887 Pink Rouge Pearl Acrylic Paints from Plaid

 I cut some small pieces of vellum and experimented with various white embossing products I had on hand.  I decided to use the Recollections Snow Detail Embossing Powder (Michael's Crafts)

The two smallest flowers on the Camellia 2014 Stamp Set from Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps were stamped with VersaMark Dazzle Archival Oil Based Watermark Stamp Pad (Tsukineko) and heat embossed.

 A little bit of Recollections Extra Fine Snow Glitter was added using a Martha Stewart Crafts glittering glue and fussy cut the images once they were dry.  I would do this process AFTER cutting the images as I lost some of the glitter as I moved the paper while cutting the vellum.

The top layer was attached with an ATG, and stamped my "LOVE" sentiment (also from the Camellia 2014) stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps) with the same embossing process as the flower.

The flowers were attached with Tacky Dots, some Bling on a Roll (Recollections ) was cut in various lengths and applied to the card, as well as a white satin bow.

This bling was found in the wedding aisle at one of the crafts stores I buy from and attached it to the center of the bow with hot glue.

2nd piece of painted card stock was added to the inside of the card with an ATG.

We are looking forward to seeing your entries so please post them up and add your links below.  Someone will win the MFP stamp set Halloween Selections

I've Been Thinking Of You Today

I'm loving the sentiments on this new release from Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps!!  I'm also excited to tell you that I've accepted an invitation to be one of your newest DT's for the Color Challenge.

The Shades of Green is my first inspiration card for you.  

Color Challenge 14

This Challenge is  for all types of paper crafts, including scrapbook pages.  Each week we will have a color or colors that you have to incorporate in your project, and of course, you must use stamp(s) on the project.

This week's colors are Shades of Green. You may use any neutral colors.

The guidelines for the Color Challenge are...
1.  Use the challenge colors as your main colors.  You can use any shades or hues of the challenge colors.

2.  You can add any neutral colors (browns, grays, black, white, cream, kraft etc) that you wish.

3. You can use an accent color in addition to the challenge colors,  but it must be an accent only and not one of the main colors in your project.

4. You must use stamps on your project.

Remember your can create any type of project you want for this challenge but you must use stamp(s) on your project. They don't have to be Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co stamps but if you do use MFPaHC stamps,  you will be entered twice for a chance to win our weekly stamp prize.

For this week's Blue Yellow and Green Challenge, one  winner will receive our
Birthday Butterfly Stamp.

Here is my photo tutorial showing the steps making this card for you.

I used sentiment from the  the Friends 2014 Stamp set which you can purchase here.

We can't wait to see what you create for this week's challenge! Remember you can use any stamp set that you would like, but if you use a Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co stamp set your name will be entered twice for the prize drawing.

New Home Cards

Sometimes you just don't have the stamp you need for a challenge, which is exactly what happened to me  when I started my DT inspiration card for FOSTV this week.  I didn't own the first Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps image and/or sentiment about a New Home.  

One of the new sentiments from the Bundle of Joy 2014 Stamp Set and the designer paper saved me this week for this challenge.  

Here is your sneak peek at one of the sentiments on this great set.

We are looking forward to seeing your entries so please post them up and add your links below.  Someone will win the lovely stamp set New Year

Please check out the challenge rules and don't forget to link up your cards to Speedy TV and the Friends of Speedy TV challenge.
