MFP Blog Hop Day 4~ Fish You Were Here




Today's fintastic set is called Fish You Were Here. I made a fishbowl (it opens at the bottom) and colored it in with Copic markers.
The accompanying sentiments are delightful and the fish couldn't be more beautiful and perfectly detailed. Great for coloring!
The second set uses the fish colored in Copics with the added party hat. I inked up some bubble wrap to make the background and stamped the coral fan image onto the orange panel. Nestabilities octagons to frame.

MFP Blog Hop Day 3~ Grandma's Boudoir




Today's beautiful and elegant set is called Grandma's Boudoir. I was inspired by the lovely cameo and went with the more traditional color. The lace and card base are MFP and the paper is by Carol Wilson Fine Arts. Embellished with half pearls.
My second sample uses the vanity with collie image. Stamped in Versafine Black Onyx, colored with Copic markers. I added a flourish stamp from the set to the chair. Nestabilities Fleur de lis frame and Basic Grey Cappella paper which was then run through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper folder , half pearls to complete.

MFP Blog Hop Day 2~ AFRICAN VELDT



Today's featured set is called African Veldt. I used the MFP glossy cardstock and brayered on the shades of orange and stamped the tree and elephants in black. Stamped elephant on white and colored in Copics, mounted to Nestabilities octagon frames. Card base was embossed with a texture plate and finished with twine and beads.
The second card uses that fabulous giraffe, also colored in Copics. Basic Grey Sugared paper because it had those cute little giraffes on it :)

Happy Faces


I remember my Mom telling me that pansies were little happy faces which is probably why they are my favorite, I always think of her when I see them. I made a flowerpot card, the pansies are attached to the top of the card that slides into the "pot" with a birthday sentiment on it. Happy Pansies set by Mark's Finest Papers.

Nature's Postage


Stamp set is Nature's Postage by Mark's Finest Papers. This is for today's SCS Queen For The Day challenge honoring Kim (Luv Flowers). I used the unique layout and the same stamp but changed the layout just a bit with different colors.

Lucky Clover


A bit late, but here it is. My March calendar page using House Mouse image O Lucky Day with Adirondacks alcohol inks Lettuce and Meadow with some gold mixative (Tim Holtz) polished stone background and SU buttons.
Cardstocks: Glossy White, Handsome Hunter, and Garden Green.
My sister was always very good at finding four leaf clovers. I don't know how she did it, but once she even managed to find our cousin's lost contact lens on our front lawn. How lucky is that!
