MFP Blog Hop - forgot one!

Well if my craft space wasn't quite such a mess this may have made it into last week's blog hop. It features a stamp from Flower Blocks and the water lily from the Koi Fish set. I found it stamped but incomplete as a card on my desk at the weekend. I used Promarkers with my airbrush on the background and stamped with Memento ink.

This view shows the detail of the stamping and air-brushing a little better

My card uses the duck and one sentiment from the set. I added Koi fish to "my water", which was made with ink applied to an embossing folder.

This is the inside with the small duck and a sentiment from the Cranes set.

The special stamp set we have for you this month is: "Holiday Tag"

The mini stamp set we have for you this month is:

"Nature's Brushstrokes"

My first card today uses the new set and also the lovely dragonflies set from MFP. Images were coloured with Prismacolor pencils and Zest. Inks are from Memento and some silver embossing powder was added to the dragonflies. We saw some beauties whizzing around at Trillion Lake near Mount Hood so I wanted to add some to my card.

My second card is a Joy Fold (reversed!) with the flower from Lotus Blossoms as the "closure element" which was coloured with Copics. Memento inks were used and the papers are from Papermania.

My last card uses the Nature's Brushstrokes, the mini set this month, simply with Versamark and Perfect Pearls and then two corners punched with a lovely punch I suddenly remembered I had.
