Monstrous Birthday

Here’s my take on MFT Sketch Challenge #316 from the MFT Card Challenges blog!Birthday parties means birthday cards ahead! 🙂

My son would paint the world orange if he could, so I always try to work in his requested color. 🙂 This is a pretty direct take on the sketch, except that I moved the sentiment up. I simply stamped and die cut everything. I then used some orange caution washi strip down the side. I mounted it all up on foam tape for a little something! 🙂

These monsters get a workout around here! 🙂

Otterly Great

Here’s my take on MFT Sketch Challenge #315 and MFT Color Challenge #61!I have surprised myself by getting in another Challenge entry! I had to use these otters though! Because: Cutie otters and puns! 🙂

I masked and stamped this cutie, colored with Copic markers, and then fussy cut the edge, so he would hang off a little bit. I adhered the colors of the challenge, and did a little fussy/trickery die cutting to pull the whole thing together. 😉

Just a little something different to try. 🙂

Hugs!

Here’s my take on MFT Sketch Challenge #314 and MFT Color Challenge #60!

I arrived home late from a school meeting last night, but still wanted to make something. Our household has been under the weather, and I was behind on creating anything! Ahhh! 🙂

I was itching to inlay something, and of course, the strips of card stock is always a fave of mine to do!

I wasn’t sure how it would look with the strips on an angle, but I like it! It’s getting mailed today!

I rotated the sketch, so the HUGS is the big rectangle, and the nod to the then vertical piece, is my stitching. I couldn’t decide what to do for that element, but I think the stitching turned out fun, albeit a little off from where I intended. Ha! I held my breath as I started stitching, and as I did that little piece at the bottom. I wanted them aligned, and I wasn’t sure where my needle left off! Oh silliness 🙂

Eye Like You

Here’s my take on MFT Sketch Challenge #311. Always a delight to have a good read over at the MFT Card Challenges blog!

I wanted to play along, and but had to be expeditious! Even making just the quickest of cards, is such a great way to end the day! I just masked some circles for these little guys, and then did some quick stamping. This is a set that will get inked often for kiddo’s birthday parties! 🙂

Lean On Me

Here’s my take on MFT Sketch Challenge #309.   

This card ended up pretty simple in the end and nothing like I sat down to do. I always think that’s funny! 🙂

I die cut both the die cuts I used, and I think the result was good! 🙂 My stitching went a little wrong, but I just added more to make it work. Ha!

MFT Challenges, Another Twofer

Here’s my take on MFT Sketch Challenge #308 and Color Challenge #56! My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration Blog <<<<<<. Once again, I’m able to combine the two!

This little dino from You’re Rawr-some, is a little cutie! I especially love the T-Rex and his sentiment. I can’t wait to use him next! 🙂 I used Zig Clean Color pens to watercolor her, and Distress ink for the background I masked off.I wanted to use this color combo, but was thinking Holiday card. Aren’t we all?! <3! But then, I took a right turn and made a chicky dino card instead. There is some sparkle (that never photographs) in the tree/plant/hearts, that in person, adds just the right touch.  I  had to cut off the grass I was originally using for the sentiment. It was too *all up in the dino’s grill*. LOL 🙂

MFT Challenges

Here’s my take on MFT Sketch Challenge #305 and Color Challenge #56! My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration Blog.

 

 Thought it would be fun to the combine the two!

I am a fan of the funky Fuse Green. 🙂  Basically I die cut, stamped, and scored this card base, putting it all together with foam tape. I changed the oval to a circle, only because I like circles better! Ha!!
