FOSTV126 - Use Flowers

It is a grey and wet Monday here in the UK - it must be a Bank Holiday!

Yes it is the last Bank Holiday until August and it is miserable.  I am tutoring a good part of the day so other that trying to keep my exam papers dry the rain isn't too much of an issue.

My project for FOSTV 126 is actually a box rather than a card - another made for my sister's Birthday.  She liked it and so do I.  It would brighten any grey day I believe.  I have stamped using an MFP flower stamp and added additional small flowers.  Please join in our FOSTV challenge this week - most people like flowers so it should be an easy one to do.

Hope wherever you are and whatever the weather you have a good day and a great week.

FOSTV92 - Favourite Colours

I had to think hard about this challenge as I actually have quite a few favourite colour combinations and at this time of the year the autumn colours always "call to me".  I decided though to go with colours that I really feel are my favourites - bright girly colours of pinks, purples and turquoise blue.  The card I ended up with is all sparkly too as I used a watercolour paper and coloured with Twinkling H2Os.  I know Gladiolas are probably not found in these colours but I have used some creative licence! 

Now that you have seen my favourites why not hop over to this weeks FOSTV challenge and post a card showing yours.  There is a small stamp set on offer - just right for your Halloween creations.

The Marks Finest Papers set I have used is called Glad Glads and each flower was embossed with a different colour embossing powder prior to colouring.  The middle flower was masked.

Thank you so much for checking out my blog, please come back soon and please check out the FOSTV challenge.  We would love some new players.

FOSTV76 - Get Well Card

Hi - thanks for coming to visit my blog.

My card today features a new bear being launched by Marks Finest Papers this week as part of the June stamps. 
I have chosen today to colour him/her for a get well card and not as a patriotic all American bear!  As well as using the new set featured on Thursday I have also used a flower and sentiment from the Glad Glads set.

The FOSTV challenge this week is to make a Get Well card and there is a lovely little stamp set as a prize - do join in - you have nothing to lose.

There are also more prizes up for grabs at the various MFP challenges as well as in this week's Blog Hop.  Please come back later and also each day this week to see all the new goodies.

Now this set is my favourite this month, as if you can't tell.  I probably didn't do it justice, low mojo right now, but I know I will go back to it time and time again.  I hope you enjoy looking at what I did create and also that you check out the ideas from the rest of the team. 

My second card uses the VLV Week 2 sketch with some Spellbinders dies I have had for ages. 

My last card uses the PEACE image from the set with this week's scripture from Word Art Wednesday.
