FOSTV57 - New Home

Hi - Monday again - a special one today - hubby's Birthday!  That has nothing to do with today's challenge but I thought he ought to have a mention - Happy Birthday Dave.

The challenge number 57 for Friends of Speedy TV (FOSTV) is to make a New Home card.  I used a Christmas present - Songbird Cartridge for my Cricut along with MFP stamps from the sets called Pussy Willows and Tweet That.

The little bird is coloured to be like a blue tit ( I hope it looks about right).  I used some dies to add some greenery, some ribbon (also from MFP) to hold my sentiment and I added a little flowersoft to the buds to make them feel a little realistic.

Please visit Speedy TV and play along with our challenge (FOSTV57) or some of the others you find there.

The set to be won by one of this week's participants is called Amaryllis Definition.  Good luck!

FOSTV 40 - use Chipboard

Hello and welcome to a new week at Friends of Speedy TV.   Can you believe it is October already?

The challenge this week is to use Chipboard on your card or project. I found some chipboard pieces in my collection that I got free with a magazine but I did not really like any of them.
I went back to square one and found some backing board from a pack of card blanks and used that to die cut these hearts (plus some extra action with scissors!!!).  I then spritzed them with 2 shades of glimmer mists and edged them with ink.
For the rest of this anniversary card I used the little bird from the newly released set called "Tweet That" and mirrored him to give his mate.  I then coloured them as a boy and a girl!  The sentiments are from the set called Forever Together Mini.

If you dig out some chipboard and play along with our challenge this week you could win one of the sets from MFP.

The set is called Bring on the Sun - gorgeous sunflowers - you will want that in your collection!

We would love to see what you create.

Thank you for visiting - I do appreciate your support.
