As background for these "monster" card postings I have 15 grandsons from ages 4 months to 18. I "NEED" monster birthday cards and monster valentine cards. This card used Monster Sized stamp set and a present from the Christmas set called BB Santa's Elves. This card will work for 2 of the challenges over at MFT site this week. I need some spending money for the great new release!
Oh this sketch was fun - especially thinking of and planning for valentine cards for my grand-kids. I love playing with alcohol inks and often save panels for use later. It is a dark and gloomy day here today (rare for Florida) so the colors in the picture do not do it justice. The panel is many shades of purple with silver foil spots in it - the sentiment was silver embossing although it looks gold in the picture it is most definitely silver. The hearts were from a red alcohol ink panel also with some silver flecks.
This card is for the MFT sketch challenge and was made with Monster Sized stamp set.
This card, though it looks rather simple, took me a while to make. There were stops and goes and redoes and grumbling, I just had a really difficult time pulling it all together. I still don’t “love it” because it didn’t turn out the way it was in my mind.
I made this for the January challenge on GKD which was to use a sentiment as the mail image. I used one of the foil sentiments that Gina sold last year, it was the background that had me frustrated. I ended up using one of the stamps from Lisa Hetrick called Just a Little and then I used foil on score tape as stripes and on the bottom border. The sentiment was foiled and I used the tag die from the GKD Foil and stamps collection. I couldn't find it on the beautiful new website but that is where I got it.
Thanks for looking and have a week filled with blessings.
These bears from MFT are just too cute! The bear on the bottom is holding a present for the Birthday Project challenge for MFT. I used the tiny bears and lots of glittery paper for this card.
I just love these "Christmas Flamingos" so after removing the antlers they were perfect for an anniversary card. This is for me 5th son and his wife for their January anniversary. It was very cold on their wedding day - even for here in Florida! This was a fun card to make for the sketch challenge.
I used the Festive Flamingos and Stitched Valley from the wonderful MFT collection. This card is for the Sketch Challenge this week.
My sister is a budding sketcher and watercolor artist. I am really proud of her. My love is still card making and dabbling with paints as backgrounds is about as artsy as I get. So this is her birthday card.
This card is for the GinaKDesigns challenge for this year and on their new updated website! I created the background with some sparkly watercolors and then stamped the sentiment from the Grand Greetings stamp set. I also added the wonderful checked ribbon. It was a quick card to make but I do like how it turned out.
