Easter Blessings

Monday morning means it's time for a new challenge at FOSTV at Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps

Somehow again, I've managed not to have any type of Easter Stamps for my DT card so I had to improvise. I ordered one to use for this challenge, but it hasn't arrived yet so I've used an image from the Lots of Words set which you can purchase here.

I embossed the image with Recollections Snow embossing powder and colored with water color pencils. The sentiment was cut from my Cricut using the Easter Blessings digital download.

Spring Colors

is the Challenge (#15)
this week at
Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps Color Challenge

We don't really have a Spring here in south central Florida, not like the tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and crocus popping up through the soil, or the pussy willows and crab apple trees budding which I remember so fondly of growing up in upstate New York

But these adorable yellow and blues make me feel like "Spring" today!

This is an A2 card (5 1/2" x 4 1/4"). I

The sentiment was stamped with Black ColorBox Pigment Ink Pad

using the Friends 2014 Stamp set

The butterfly from the Lots of Words 2013 was heat embossed (on watercolor paper) and colored with watercolor pencils and sprayed with Goosebumps for some texture and shine

All the flowers were cut using a Cricut George and Basic Shapes cartridge, moulded on a mouse pad and attached with glue dots. Irock gems were heat sealed in the center of the flowers

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.

Anything Goes this week at FOSTV (Mark's Finest Papers) for Challenge #100

You are getting a sneak peak at another of the sentiments, "You Are In My Prayers", on the

Lots of Words 2013 Stamp Set

which will be released in December of 2013.

Unfortunately, I never seem to have enough sympathy and/or cards of encouragement on hand so I've decided to take advantage of this wonderful new set and make up several.
