Daisy Doodle Paper Arts

Well it turned out to be pretty dreary day,  so I decided to put this card together.  I watched a video this morning on the MFT Channel and learned they are doing an MFT Creative Olympics and I love expressing my creativity so I'm joining in!  I went ahead and went with the color palette for the MFT Color Challenge 87. This card is for Event 1, Stamping Slalom, and the challenge is to create a card using images from 3 different MFT Stamp Sets.  I used: MFT Pinstripe Background Stamp MFT Friends in the Forest MFT Wild Woodland I used the tiny stamp from Wild Woodland to stamp out the pink background and I think it is so cute!  I cut that panel using Wonky Stitched Rectangle dies.  I also added some dots to the background in addition to the little leaf.  The pink is Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and I brayered that onto white cardstock to get a gradient color effect.  The images are stamped using the same ink.  I la...

Bazzill cardstock is on clearance right now (locally) so I picked some up.  This one is "Limeade"  I used an outside stitched rectangle die set plus Lawn Fawn stitched trails to create the background.  I used my favorite MFT stamp set, which I just got, Friends in the Forest.  I colored the image with colored pencils and die cut it with a heart.

For this super cute card I am using the brand new, just released  Tim Holtz Mini Stencil Set of 3.   I got them from Simon Says Stamp and of course I love them!  They measure roughly 6 x 3.  You can purchase a larger version individually.  The Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink is also new.  I am entering this into a few challenges, including Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and  Viva La Verve Monthly Challenge, February 2018. I will post a video shortly. I used outside stitched rectangle dies to create the frames.  For the outside frame I used white and used the "Dotted" stencil and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink.  For the pink interior panel I blended a layer of ink first then used water over the "Dotted" stencil to create a very soft pattern.  I used a shimmery water to give it a little shimmer but you can't really see it.  I layered that on black and added a chevron stencil to the middle in black....

These are cards I have made this week for various challenges.  I'll be posting them to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. For the top "Sahara Sand" card, I used a die cut that was in my stash and followed the sketch to create the card.  I used some stitching stamps from BoBunny which I got from Amazon.  I tried sewing and so far this has not worked well for me.  So until it does, I'll be stamping my stitching.  The "happy birthday" sentiment is from Stampin' Up! Picture Perfect Birthday.  The "jagged" rectangles dies came from Aliexpress.

This card is for a few challenges.  I also filmed it, so when I get that video made I'll include a link. I would love to win that $50 gift certificate at Simon Says Stamp.  But oh well, I went ahead and placed my order and got me a few crafty goodies!  Can't wait to get those.  They sell Nuvo drops for just $2.99.  I picked up some white but it seems my drops are going flat and I don't know why. Update:  I still haven't got the video made.  But this did win at SplitcoastStampers Color Challenge!  I'm honored.

I created this card for the Inspire. Create.  Stamping Challenge, as pictured above.  This challenge can be found here:  http://inspirecreatechallenges.blogspot.com/ I was glad to use this yellow  DSP.  In the past I have tended to hoard my prettiest papers so now I have piles and piles!  I have decided to stop doing that and use the beautiful paper instead. LOL. So I layered that on Bermuda Bay.  And I did use all Stampin' Up! products for this card, Yay!  I did ink the edges with Daffodil Delight and maybe a darker ink would have looked better but I could not decide which color.  I use Sahara Sand a lot for edges, but sometimes it just makes the paper look dirty, so I stopped with the Daffodil Delight.  The thick twine is Melon Mambo (recently in the clearance rack) and I used Whisper White twine to tie the button.  The button is a gold metal button from Stampin' Up! and is no longer available.  I die cut the DSP using...

I hope I can get all my valentine's sent out!  Thanks for looking.  The heart is die cut using Berry Burst cardstock.  The patterned paper is from an Recollections old paper pad (Burgundy Rose I think), its pretty close to Powder Pink.  The stamp and heart dies came from Aliexpress. The button is Stampin' Up! and the gold twine was something I had (origin unknown).  I did ink the edges of the paper and the rough edge panel is from a rectangle die set that I got from Aliexpress. I went back in and added two more eyelets and I a little black layer under the sentiment and I think that looks better.  I really like this card!
