You Mean the WORLD to Me

Hello friends, I have a card to share with you all today!!!

I recently got hold of this cute set and wanted to use it on a card so here it is for you and I love how this card turned out!!

I followed the current MFT sketch 431..

I started with a panel of water color cardstock from Brutus Monroe and water colored the galaxy background using Gansai Tambi watercolors, once the watercolors dried I splattered white acrylic paint on top of the panel.

I stamped the little astronaut on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock with Rich Cocoa Momento Ink and colored it using Copics.

It is very hard to see in the pic but I embossed the background paper which is from SSS using MFT Houndstooth stencil.

The sentiment is heat embossed on Electric red cardstock using Alabaster embossing powder from Brutus Monroe. 

Then I added Nuvo clear glaze on his helmet and added few sequins and also added few stars using white signo pen.

Hope you like my card.

Thanks for stopping by and you all have a great day!!!

Scream! It's Your Birthday!

Hello there!!!

I have a card to share with you all today..

I wanted to take part in MFT Superstar Contest, so made a card for that. 

This one is for Clean & Simple Genius..

I played with my MFT Monster Sized stamps to create this CAS card.

The little monsters are stamped using MFT Licorice hybrid ink on a piece of watercolor cardstock and I used my Koh-I-Noor watercolors to color them in, since monsters can be in any color I chose to make them bright and happy monsters :D 

The sentiment is then stamped on a blue cardstock using VersaMark pigment ink and heat embossed using Alabaster embossing powder. The water color panel and the sentiment strip is adhered using some foam squares.

Oh and I have used MFTWSC402 !!!

That's all from me today.

Hope you liked my card and thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great day!!

Hugs,

I'm Otterly in Love With You

Hello friends, I have an OTTERLY adorable card to share with you all today...

I played with this super Otters from MFT stamps, all the images colored using Prisma color pencils. For the background first I used a candle to draw wave patterns and then I did water coloring using Gansai tambi watercolors, this way the candle wave pattern will resist the watercolors creating a beautiful design. Then I stamped the sentiment on black cardstock using embossing ink and white heat embossed it.

Hope you like my card.

Donut Worry

Hello Crafty friends!!!
I have card to share with you today...

I played with this sweet stamp set from Lawn Fawn "Donut Worry" stamp set. I stamped few donuts onto watercolor cardstock and used my Distress inks to color them up, I was inspired by the Lawn Fawnatics color palette to color these donuts... Then the donuts were cut using scissor, then sponged some blue ink on the card base and adhere all the donuts using foam squares. I added some sequins to the card, little glitter to the donuts and finally stamped my sentiment.

Here is a close up:

Hope you like my sweet card...

Hello, Friend

Hello,

I played with my MFT Happy Hedgehogs once again and this time did some water coloring!! I used MFT Sketch 303, I think when I sat down to create this card I had the sketch little different in my mind :D

Here is my card:

Images are all stamped onto water color cardstock and I did this with the help of my Stampoholic, it was super easy and because water color cardstocks are textured I never get perfect impression the first time so using Stampoholic was really really helpful. I used MFT black hybrid ink and then colored everything using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. Once the coloring was dry I adhered it directly to a white A2 card base. The sentiment is stamped on a black cardstock using VersaMark pigment ink and embossed using WOW white embossing powder. Also did some highlights with Sakura white gelly roll pen.
Here is close up for you:

Hope you like my card. :) Thanks for stopping by!!!

You Hog My Heart

Hello everyone!! Just popping in to share a card with you all!

I recently got my hands on some of the MFT stamps from Butterfly Reflections Ink store and couldn't wait to ink it up and the timing was perfect for me to enter my card for MFT Card Design Superstar Card Contest.

Here is my card

I took Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and used my circle stax die to cut a circle out of it. Before I colored the background, I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark pigment ink and heat embossed using Stampendous 3D embossing powder. Then used my distress inks to color the background. The fence is cut using Farm Fence dies out of BARC wood, the piggies are from Hog Heaven stamp set which is stamped onto Crafters companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored using Copics, then adhered them using foam squares and the circle itself is adhered using foam squares. Finally punched out few hearts with my cheap paper punch and adhered those as well using foam squares. I also added little glitter to all the hearts.
