First, and foremost, I am so happy the African animal silhouette sets are back!! Today I am sharing a gift card wallet I made using the newest Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company silhouette stamp set Wild and Free. 

 
Once I had downloaded, printed off, and cut out my wallet template, I stamped my images in memento tuxedo black ink onto some recycled glossy photo paper before stippling poppy, summer sun and the following Tim Holtz inks: milled lavender, dusty concord, spiced marmalade, and wild honey.  After I was happy with the look of the stippling, I layered the main image onto poppy and black card stocks before adding Making Memories black baby brads.  The background is stamped using the zebra stripe with poppy ink.

For the inside of my wallet, I stamped several of the silhouette images in poppy ink and a couple of the sayings in memento tuxedo black ink.  The final touch was to tuck in a Starbucks gift card and add a velcro closure.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs and leave some love for a chance to win today's set.

My project today shows a couple of different Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company sets to go along with our featured set Get Reel.  I remember growing up going fishing with my dad every summer while in the Indian Guides program.  This set brings back so many memories of camping, fishing, hiking, and so on with my dad, so I tried to capture some of those memories in my card for you today.

I started out by stamping my main image from Get Reel in memento tuxedo black onto MFP snow storm smooth card stock before taking the Ice and Snow stamp set and inking only part of the tree tops from the sets main image to use as cattails.  Then I took some color crayons and colored some of the "cattails" brown and the water ripples white before sponging & stippling various Tim Holtz distress and Adirondack inks to get my pond with an early morning sky look.  Once I was satisfied with the ink coverage, I stamped the saying from Get Reel and then the bird trio from the new Scenic Selections a couple of times before layering on card stock and adding some Making Memories black baby brads.  My final touches were to stamp the rocks and trees from Scenic Selections onto scrap snow storm smooth card stock, color with prismacolor markers, cut out and then pop up using mini pop dots.  For just a little sparkle, I highlighted some of the grasses with a green Copic Spica pen.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team's blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.

I Believe In You - Friends of SpeedyTV Challenge Week 10

Welcome and happy Monday.  Just a few more weeks until Christmas folks - my how time flies when we're having fun, right?  This week the Friends of SpeedyTV by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company challenges you to use those silhouette stamps.  That's right, those solid sometimes blocky stamps we all have a hard time using.

For my card, I chose to pull out Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company Garden Wishes Mini set and stamped the main image and saying in memento tuxedo black onto Mark's Finest Papers Snow White Glossy card stock before stippling Stampin Up! wild wasabi, bashful blue and dusty durango inks over the top it and blending the inks together. 

Once that was done, I took two more sayings and created my background by alternately stamping them at a diagonal in dusty durango ink onto the same colored card.  A chip board premium paper scalloped border separates the image and saying from the bottom mums which are adhered with Ranger Glossy Accents.  I'm really happy with how this turned out since I made it with one of my nasty migraines again.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Take a few moments out of your busy day to stop by all of the designers blogs and leave them some love for the eye candy they've made for you and we hope you'll take some time to participate in the challenge as well.


Stamps: MFP Garden Wishes Mini
