FOSTV91 - Animals

This week's challenge at Friends of Speedy TV is to use an animal.  Now the problem was what animal to choose - my selection of Marks Finest Papers stamps include quite a few animals.  Neither of my cards turned out as planned but I think they are both OK. 

My first card is inspired by South Africa and the elephants.  I used the set called Wild and Free on this one.

My second card is inspired by one Michelle Zindorf did some time ago but is nowhere near as good.  I used 3 stamps sets on this one North American Woods,Buffalo Spring,Marsh Silhouettes.

I did not get enough embossing powder on when I added the blue ink so the wolf got a little spoilt. 

I left sentiments off both cards as I am unsure where they will go and for what occasions.

If you find some time this week please pull out your animal stamps and join our challenge.  You will find it as challenge 91 on this page

Another masculine card

This one is for the Sketch N Stash challenge posted on Monday 08/04/13.  I kept closely to the sketch and my only embellishment is the 2 little metal nail heads which I forget I have got.

The image is from the MFP North American Woods set, a set that I haven't used in a while.  The papers for the 4 squares are from my scrap tray.  The die I used to cut the sentiment got its first outing today!

Please come back for the FOSTV challenge tomorrow and the MFP Blog Hop the rest of the week with all the new sets being released.

FOSTV 44 - CAS Sketch - Utonagan

Hi Everyone, it's Monday again so it means time for another FOSTV challenge.  This week's challenge is a CAS sketch challenge

I used the sketch to make a card that someone at work requested.  She wanted something for her husband but was struggling to know what she wanted.  I remembered she had a wolf like dog, an Utonagan, and asked if that would be appropriate and she immediately said yes.




This is the card I came up with using doggy digital papers (Dog Park) from Katie Pertiet via DesignerDigitals.com.   The main image is from the MFP set called North American Woods and the Happy Birthday was from another set (sorry I cannot remember which one).  The paw was made by punching on some scrap and then sponging through the cuts.

Well it is your turn now to make what you will with this sketch and show us what you create by posting a link back to challenge 44 over at FOSTV.  We would love you to use your MFP stamps if you have them, but if you don't use what you have and you may win some to play with.  This week's set up for grabs is called Oh Crab and the little crab on the rocks is just so cute.

FOSTV 41 - Distressing

Hi - Welcome to a new week and to another FOSTV challenge.  This week we are distressing and the team have used a whole mixture of sets.

My card uses the wolf from the North American Woods set and I am sending it to my nephew.  He is a very outdoors kid, always has been, so I think he will like this card.  My 3 nephews have their birthdays 3 months running so I have to think masculine cards - their Dads then follow!  It is good that Marks Finest Papers make so many nice masculine images.  I have made a Flap Card and there is a tutorial from Kathy which is easy to follow on Speedy TV which you can find here

Hope you have a great week - please come visit again and don't forget to join the FOSTV41 challenge
