MCV - Merry Christmas

Muse: ChristmasVisions 55

Greetings Everyone,

Playing cards with Kevin Bray who is the guest designer this week.  The card he provided for our inspirations is so fun ... the penguin is perfect.  For my card I used the general layout, a snow slope, ink-blended sky (blue and purple hues), Christmas gifts, Merry Christmas sentiment.  I chose to use one of the Crazy Birds for my main element because I have no penguin that would work.  For added interest, the snow slope was painted with a couple coats of clear WOS to give it some sparkle, and a few snowflakes were added to the sky.

Hope your day is enjoyable.

Muse - LIM - Absolutely Sweet

Muse Challenge 176

Less is More 286 and 287 - Use Something Tactile

Playing cards with Linda, the guest Muse, this week. Her card is beautiful with a partial die cut feature and an angled panel. For my card I chose to use a partial die-cut (part of the sentiment) with pink tone panel and flowers. The panel color was achieved by blending a couple of pink toned distress inks.  The flowers were colored with shades of pink Copic markers. For interest added were small clear gems, clear WOS on the flower petals, glaze to the flower centers, etc., and a couple of the flowers placed behind the die cut sentiment.

Also playing in the LIM challenge - the tactile features are the die-cut sentiment, gemstones and slightly raised flower on the white panel.

Hope your summer day is enjoyable.

MCV - From Santa

Muse: ChristmasVisions 54

Greetings!

Playing cards with the folks at MCV where Cornelia provided a colorful fun card for our enjoyment. The blended colors are amazing so I did the same.  Santa has come and gone as evidenced by the presents and sentiment!! A few gems add sparkle to the tree.

Wish you a fun day!

Muse - Happy Birthday

Greetings!

Muse Challenge #175

Today, playing cards with Jenni who is this week's Muse.  She provided a beautiful card for our inspirations.  My card is an almost-CASE ... same large flower (love this stamp set), similar layout and colors, Happy Birthday sentiment.  In lieu of the small flowers, I chose to embellish with some yellow enamel dots.  To the center of the flower I added some additional detail with a white Gelly Roll pen and a black enamel dot.

Wish you a fun day!

MFT - Camp Create - Masking - Less is More - Absolutely Amazing

Greetings!

Playing in two challenges:

MFT - Camp Create - Magnificent Masking

Less is More - Repetition

For the background I die cut a mask from the MFT - Die-namics - Jumbo Dot Cover Up. The repeating dots were achieved using the mask to ink blend with MFT Dye Inks (Orange Zest, Red Hot and Ripe Raspberry). A bold sentiment stamped in black and rhinestones that pick up the colors of the dots complete the card.

Wish you a fun day!

MFT - Camp Create - CAS Mixup - Make Today Beautiful

Greetings Everyone,

My card for two challenges:

MFT - Camp Create - Background Bonanza

CAS Mixup - Stamping, Markers plus another feature of choice (Heat Embossing)

On the Kraft card stock flowers were randomly stamped and colored with Prismacolor markers. Details on and outlines around the flowers were made using a white Gelly Roll marker. (The inspiration to outline the flowers in white came from Francine.) On black card stock the sentiment was stamped with white pigment ink and heat embossed. A thin strip of gold foil designer paper was added to provide interest and a finishing touch between the Kraft and black. To complete the card a few clear rhinestones were added to the flowers.

Wish you a fun day!
Marilyn
