Here is this week's sketch at MFP Oriental Sketch Challenge:
 
 
For my card I used Black cardstock as the card base and the layering panel is Crumb Cake.  I used the MFP Stamp Shop Chinese Take Out stamp set for my card.  I stamped the fortune cookie image on the crumb cake panel using crumb cake ink.  I colored the cookie images using Promarkers.  The images and sentiment were stamped using Memento Rich Cocoa ink.  Other supplies used:  Circle punch, banner die, and Stampin' Up sequins.
 
We hope you'll share your Oriental cards with us this week using the above sketch.  You can find the challenge HERE.

Ruby's Rainbow Challenge - Something Green

 
DT member Jennifer challenged us to use something green on our creations over at Ruby's Rainbow Challenge!
 
For my card, I used a yellow card base, then added a green panel that I embossed using a dotted embossing folder.  Added a black panel then a white panel then some October Afternoon DSP.  The image is called Lucky Ducks from Mark's Finest Papers Stamp Shop.  A green twine multi-loop bow with an adhesive pearl embellishes my card.
 
We hope you'll use something green on your project and share it with us over at Ruby's Rainbow Challenge.

CWWC Challenge - Use real or faux stitching!

 
The challenge at Crafting When We Can is to use real or faux stitching.  Since I can't sew a stitch I opted for faux by using the Lil' Inkers stitched rectangle dies.
 
The image is from challenge sponsor OddBall Art Co. called Breezy with her Kawaii Friends No. 125
 
I used papers and cardstock from my stash.  I created the lace flower by punching out a 1 1/4" circle, coating the circle with adhesive and wrapping lace around the circle and pleating it as I went around.  I then used a cloth covered brad in the center and some May Arts leaves.  A heart stick pin embellishes the fower.  I also used SU heart sequins to embellish the card.  image was colored using Copic markers.
 
We hope you'll play along with the CWWC stitching challenge.  You can find the challenge HERE.

MFP Stamp Shop Challenge - Emboss Resist

 
This week's challenge at MFP Stamp Shop Blog is to create a card background using the emboss resist technique.
 
For my card I stamped one of the shells image from the MFP Silly Shells stamp set onto white cardstock using versamark ink.  I then covered the stamped images using white embossing powder then heat set the images.  I used several colors of distress inks to sponge over the images to make them pop.  I stamped the seashells sentiment randomly on the background using Memento black ink.   I used another sentiment from the stamp set to create a banner and embellished it using one of the shells I picked up on one of the Florida beaches I visited recently!
 
We hope you will share your emboss resist card with us at the MFP Stamp Shop Challenge this week.  The challenge can be found HERE.
