FOSTV156 - Easter Card

I have switched from snowmen and Christmas cards to Easter today.  Our Friends challenge over at Speedy TV is Easter Cards and we would love you to join us.

My card uses dies and the Works of Art stamp set and the sentiment from the Easter stamp set, both from MFP Stamp Shop.  Our challenge page shows the cards made by the whole team so don't forget to check it out.

Thanks for looking - have a good week.

The card I made with this set is 7" square.  I hope the postman treated it carefully as it was sent for a Birthday on Sunday to a friend in Cornwall who is bravely undergoing some heavy cancer treatment right now.  Get well soon Andree.  I featured Daffodils as the Daffodil is the emblem for Marie Curie Cancer care.  The sets used include
Daffodil Greetings
Tree Greetings
Scenic Selections
Works of Art

FOSTV116 - Altered Box

Well I actually altered a plastic tub but I think it counts.  I was originally going to do a pretty gift box but having bought some play money on the internet I needed something to store it in and this container came into being.  I used various oriental images from Marks Finest Papers from 2 different sets - Wealthy Fish and Works of Art.  I originally pulled out about 5 sets but ended up with just this two.  This item is practical rather than pretty but it has to go into my teaching bag of bits to travel to my youngest student so can't be too fancy!

Please join in our FOSTV challenge this week.  I am sure you can find some sort of container that could do with a make over.  The prize on offer to one lucky participant is the stamp set Vroom

 

Have a great week.

JUGS228

Firstly I should thank Angie for the inspiration for this card - Thank you Angie.

I have used 3 background images from Marks Finest Papers on my spring flowers which are all die cuts made with Spellbinders dies as is the trellis.  I used Memento inks to stamp with and then other Memento inks to sponge.  The sets I used are called Works of Art (Yellow flowers), Love Script (Pink flowers) and Just a Note (Lilac flowers)  The sentiment is a pre done one from a bunch given to me some time ago.  The border was punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.

I am entering this card in this week's JUGS challenge - JUGS228.

This picture shows the stamping detail.

I am thinking Spring even if it has been raining again today!

Calm and Wisdom
 

This set has grown on me while I worked with it. My first card is paper pieced and I used the sentiment from the set on the inside which you can see below the card front.

 

 

 

My second card uses glitter and some pale Copic colouring.  I used the Chinese symbols from the Works of Art set stamped in gold to make a background

Today I have cards made with the Panda set to show you and some I made with this month's 5th set.
These are the two cards I made with the Panda set.  The second card just uses the bamboo emblem from the set with the greeting from Lotus Blossoms.  I stamped directly on a piece of oriental paper that was in one of my scrap trays. I used two different embossing powders for this simple card.

 

 My cards with Works of Art are below.  I didn't do all the fussy cutting that some of my team mates did with this set but I am quite happy with my cards even the simple one below. The Thank You sentiment is from Friday's set Huge Blooms.

Thank you for coming by; please check out all the other posts by the Design Team An'Jenic is next.
