Hiya!
A clean and simple card today using Love Cynthia stamp called Follow your heart 🙂 I always love Cynthia’s happy stamps.
I added some diecut clouds that I got recently as a freebie in my last MFT crafts haul 🙂 Oh and I got that large banner die too from my latest MFT purchase.

Hello!
September is the beginning of another month-long coloring challenge by Kathy Racoosin called #thedailymarker30day challenge 🙂 It’s now regular happening created by Kathy where everyone can participate by coloring anything every day. It can be a few minutes or an hour but basically doing some coloring of sort daily.
For today, I colored this bouquet flowers stamp from Wplus9. There’s so many ways to color this so I should be exploring those options too soon.
For my coloring, I bought my Zig Real Brush markers sometime ago and I’m happy being able to use them today.
I quickly made the colored flowers to a card and am happy to share them too in “Addicted to Stamps and More: Challenge #257-Make Your Mark”
I’m also entering this card to Simon Says Stamp, Monday Challenge.
Until then!
Hi there!
My Favorite Things is running the 2016 Card Design Superstar contest and I saw the current entries from MFT blog. There’s a lot of amazing card submissions and its so great to see so many ways one can do on a stamp set 🙂 It will be closing in a few days but I’m taking my chance to share my take. I have nothing to lose right? It will always be fun.
I only have 3 stamp sets from MFT. One is the Santa set and the other the Pig and Gnome sets. I also have a very limited dies from MFT so I need to utilize whatever I have to create something fun for the challenge. One of the conditions is of course to use MFT stamps and dies only.
So here’s my contribution. I used a combination of the 2 stamp sets I have (Pig & Gnome) to create a small flower-pot scene. I first partially diecut the 3 gnomes in 2 separate panels, colored them with promarkers then later layered them using dimensional adhesive.
I also stamped other elements like the palette, flower pots, snails and mushrooms. Each and everyone is colored with promarker 🙂 I only have the coordinating dies for the gnomes so for the elements from the pig stamp like the flower pots and palettes, I fussy cut them. I know it will take a bit more time cutting but I love fussy cutting too 🙂
For my border, I used the wonky rectangles to add some accents.
You can click on the images to see them in bigger size 🙂
A closer look at the colored images. Love coloring them 🙂
Another closer look of the layering and partial die cutting I did on this card.
Partial die cutting and panel layers. There are 2 different white panels with the gnomes, one has the 2 gnomes and the other layer with 1 gnome partially die cut with the rest of the flower pots etc.
Until then!
Happy Saturday!
Today is a soft watercoloring to color these lovely Christmas ornaments. I used stamps from Sarah Hurley special edition stamp set by Jaine Drake.
I used the sentiment in the Robins set, while the ornaments are from the Traditional Christmas Ornaments.
I started with soft coloring then adding more colors after drying each of the watercolor layer. Love the soft effect it makes. I added some sequins for more spark.

An amazing card inspirations in the gallery from different Design Teams of my favorite craft manufacturers, they are playing too!
I used Altenew’s Sketchy Cities America stamp set. I have them for sometime now but haven’t had the chance to use them in my projects. Glad to color them now.
I did two versions, one is by coloring the buildings with my desired colors and the other just a free watercolor play, just randomly putting watercolors one after the other.

I had some coloring made using alcohol markers like promarker and copic. I used the stamps from Simon Says Stamp Party Animal set. After coloring I added some white dots and lines in my images. I also added clear Wink of Stella for some shine 🙂

Just popping in quickly to share my take in my favorite card challenges. I used the nautical stamp set from Sweet Stamp Stamp and colored it with watercolor.
For the red strip, I stamped it using Mama Elephant Basic Border set. I had a mistake in stamping another diagonal strip above the red so I used a yellow patterned paper instead to save the card base.
I added some sequins to add some texture and dimension. I also added some shine in the banner using Wink of Stella clear glitter pen.
I’m entering this card to CASology Week 152, Nautical challenge.

I’m joining in Runway Inspired Challenge #86, Sophie Theallet. My first time to join in fact. I used the colors as my inspiration in my card project. The purple is the main color in the model image so I used also purple sequins as accents and add texture to the whole card.
I used Paper Smooches stamp, the We Adore You stamp set. I love those owls which I colored with promarker.
