MFP Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge 268

Well, after a few tries I think I've got it!  :-)     First I tried to make a background scene using different colors....nope.  Then an ocean blue color for a fun summer card....nope.  I finally settled on this and used stamps from MFP's "Take Time" set.  I hope you like it!

MFP 265 Die Cut Designs

MFP Challenge 265. - Die Cut Designs

It was fun making a design with die cuts this week. I chose squares and turned them into diamonds. I cut a bunch of squares out of coordinating purple paper and tried to use each each color a couple of times.  My sentiment is from the MFP "All Postal " stamp set.

Thank you to Mark's Finest Papers for choosing my card as the winning entry for this challenge.  I earned the "Holiday Tags" stamp set.

MFP Speedy Fox &Friends Challenge 258

MFP Speedy Fox &Friends Challenge 258 - Black and White

I was never really into black and white cards, but the more I work with them the more I like them!  This butterfly was so cool heat embossed in black on vellum so I kept the background very CAS.

MFP FOSTV 153 Die Cut/Punched

MFP FOSTV 153 Die cut or Punched Items

I love working with die cuts and punches! On this card I used 2 different sized circle punches, a scalloped die cut and a stamp from Mark's Finest Papers "All Postal" set. It's hard to see, but I embossed the red paper with a Swiss dot embossing folder.  What a nice challenge!!

Thank you FOSTV team for choosing my card as the winning entry in this challenge! I Earned a 25% discount on a future order at Mark's Finest Papers - woo hoo!

MFP Color Challenge 47 - Red Pink Green

MFP Color Challenge 47 - red, pink, green

This was a fun color combination to work with, especially since I still had my Valentines Day paper out!  I used a stamp from Mark's Finest Papers All Postal set, along with a Cuttlebug embossing folder...Juli's Garden. Pink and clear rhinestones added the final touch.

MFP Inspiration Challenge #88 - Zentangle

MFP Inspiration Challenge #88 - Zentangle

I've been interested in zentangle for awhile but never worked up enough courage to give it a try....until now!!  What beautiful examples to work from with the pictures and the design team's cards!  I used a flower from MFP Mother's Magnolia set. I did small circles on the underside petals and a combination of empty loops and loops with lines inside for the rest of the petals.  It really changes the look of the image!   I will do more zentangle to get better at it because I like the effect. Thanks for a fun challenge!

MFP FOSTV 150 Square Card

MFP FOSTV Challenge 150 -  Square Card

I have to admit I don't make a lot of square cards.....not really sure why. Maybe because I don't have a lot of square envelopes??  Ha Ha Ha.   I used BasicGrey paper scraps.

MFP Speedy Fox and Friends Week 244

MFP Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge Week 244

Layered embossing was not something I had tried before, so I was excited to learn this technique! I used the Swiss dot embossing folder and liked how the background turned out. What a great way to add a little something to single layer pieces!

MFP Color Challenge 46

MFP Color Challenge 46 - pink, yellow, green

These are great spring colors and since it actually got above freezing (32*) today, I'm ready for spring!!  I love using the embossing folders for texture on a card, and the polka dot bow finished it off.

MFP Color Challenge 44
