Flynne’s Puppies – Corgi Puppy

Blog Hop for JessicaLynnOriginal – Flynne’s Puppies

This is a fun blog hop from Jessica Lynn Originals that is raising money for a local group called Lucky Mutts Rescue.  Click the link to learn more.

This is my final card for this blog hop.  I am using a stamp set called Flynne’s Puppies from JessicaLynnOriginal.  It is such an adorable set with this Corgi puppy, but it also has a Pug and a Lab puppy too.  All of her stamps are so cute and realistic.

I started this card with an A2 size card base from 110# Neenah Solar White card stock.  Using Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Candied Apple Distress Ink, I colored my entire background and sprayed it with water to activate the ink.

I took another A2 size piece of white card stock and cut it with the Full of Hearts Die-Namics.

I adhered it to my colored background.  Save all of those cut out hearts you never know what you can use them for.  They make great confetti!

The Corgi Puppy was stamped with Extreme Black ink from MFT and colored with Copic markers.  The colors are noted in the picture.

The Distress Ink blends so well and has such great colors.  The water marks are such a great effect.

I finished the card off with a great sentiment from the set and a few sequins.

This was my very first blog hop and I am so honored and grateful to Jessica for giving me this opportunity.

Paper Smooches Challenge

Today I am doing a challenge from Paper Smooches.  Below is the sketch of what the card layout looks like.  You are to create any card using this lay out.

I used the stamp set Vegtastic colored with Copic markers and an ink blended background from Distress Oxide ink broken china.

This sketch was a lot of fun to work with and got my creative juices flowing.

If this sounds like fun to you hope over to papersmooches.com and check out all the details.

Have a fantastic day!!

Speed Cardmaking

My entry for Event #4 in the MFT 2018 Creative Olympics – Speed Cardmaking.  You are given 20 minutes to create a card.  Sounds simple enough but once you get into it time flies.  It makes you realize how much time you actually take laying out a card design  and then creating it.  Also, I began to realize how many times I am interrupted.  It doesn’t bother me until I have a time limit to finish something.  This was a great challenge and an eye opening experience too.  I used the MFT Get Down To Business stamp set, grey card stock and grey ink.  It took me 18 minutes and 30 seconds to complete the card.  Thank you MFT for these Creative Olympic Events.  I had so much fun.
