SWAT Challenge #73 at SpeedyTV Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps

This is my card for the MFP Sketch With a Twist Challenge #73.  The Twist is to use a button or buttons on your card.

Here's the sketch for the challenge:

For my card, I used the MFP Out on the Town stamp set (love the images in that set!).  The button is from Melissa Francis; I created a lace flower and placed the vintage-look button in the center.  The card is embellished with a Prima flourish.  The image was stamped with Memento Black ink and colored using Copic markers.  Designer paper used is from Graphic 45 and Stampin Up.

We hope you'll play along with this week's SWAT challenge.  You can find the challenge HERE.

Challenge:  Anything Goes with a Family twist

We are celebrating family this week.

Simple Salutations Challenge #71 - Feminine Birthday

The Simple Salutations Challenge at MFP is to create a CAS Feminine Birthday card.

I used the November release stamp set called Out on the Town!  Love that set!  My CAS card has a deep purple panel under the border cut card base.  A sheer ribbon was used to embellish the corner of the card.  The image was colored using Copic markers.

We hope you'll play along with the Simple Salutations Challenge to create a CAS card that also has a sentiment placed on the front of the card.  The challenge can be found HERE.

Twisted Tuesday Challenge Pop Dots and Polka Dots!

The Twisted Tuesday Challenge is to create a card using Polka Dots and Pop Dots!  For my card, I used America Crafts patterned paper and popped the layering panel up using dimensionals.  The butterfly was punched using 2 MS punches and popped up with dimensionals.  Happy Birthday is a sentiment from a PaperSmooches stamp set.  I used flourishes to embellish for the look of more polka dots  I used shades of purple and lavender, which I seldom use but like!

We hope you'll play along with the Pop Dots and Poka Dots challenge at Twisted Tuesday Challenges.  You can find the challenge HERE.
