FOSTV137 - Yellow and Grey

It is a busy week at Marks Finest Papers with our new FOSTV challenge starting today and the August blog hop starting tomorrow.  Please join in our challenge and the hop.

The challenge this week is yellow and grey so I used the colours for an anniversary card.  Californian Poppies were what sprang to mind.

 

 

This is a short and sweet post as I am scheduling before I go to bed.  Have a great week and enjoy the challenge and the Hop.

FOSTV114 - New Home

This week's challenge at FOSTV is to make a new home card.  I knew I wanted to use the little mice from the Yikes a Mouse set but what to use as a "home"

I used stamps from Welcome Poppies and Buffalo Spring to create my cornfield as their little home. The sentiment is from Primitive Farm.

 

On the inside I created a show of poppies with the little butterfly from Spring Things.

The prize for participants this week is the New Year set which looks like this

You can find details of the challenge via this page - it is challenge 114 and we would love you to play along with us.

I hope you keep safe and warm in your home this week.

FOSTV - Red, White and Blue

Hello it is Monday again and time for another Friends of Speedy TV challenge.

OK I went out on a limb and coloured my poppies blue.  I have seen blue poppies but only the once!  I added the red with sponging around the edge of the image and through a template to add spots to the card base.  I also added small red gems in the corners.  After completing the card I actually wished I had sponged spots across the whole background but I ran out of time to go back and re-work it.




We would now love to see your red, white and blue creations so please join us at FOSTV for this week's challenge.  The set you might win is called Train Talk.  You can use any stamps to enter but if you use Marks Finest Papers stamps your name gets added to the draw twice.
