My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 165 & CQC # 230...Celebrate Your Special Day!

Hello stampin' friends! I had some time today to get sketchy with the great sketch that they have over at My Favorite Things - Wednesday Stamp Club - MFTWSC165. Then I went looking for a colour scheme to go with the sketch and found this great combo QCQ # 230 over at the Colour Q Challenge!

This is the great sketch that I used for my card!

Here is the colour cue...I used MFT Replenishment Heavyweight Card Stock.

I made my card from MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Sweet Tooth, Black Licorice, Fuse Green, Kraft and Blu Raspberry. I've rediscovered how fabulous my MFT Stencils are and I have been having fun trying different techniques with them, inspired by this month's MFT DT Creative Challenge! This time I wanted to try and create a Bokeh background so I used the MPD Graduated Dots Stencil and positioned it on an angle and sponged with Blu Raspberrry Premium Dye Ink with a sponge dauber.  I also added some splatters with Jingle Bells Glimmer Mist and a sprinkling of Black Gumdrops.

I used the Pierced Circle STAX to cut the Blu Raspberry Heavyweight Card Stock and I stamped with the Sheet Music Background Stamp in Blu Raspberry Premium Dye Ink. I stamped a sentiment from the LJD Birthday Greetings Stamp set in Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink on Kraft Heavyweight Card Stock cut with the Fishtail Flags and Fishtail Layers STAX.  I added a pretty sunflower cut from Fuse Green Heavyweight Card Stock with the Sunflower Die-namics and added a Fuse Green Button tied with Hemp Cord.

I fished the inside...I stamped another sentiment from the LJD Birthday Greetings Stamp set with Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink on a tag cut with the tag die from Blueprints 2. I made the sentiment panel with the Pierced Circle STAX and the Layered Labels Die-namics.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my card for this week's MFT - Wednesday Stamp Club # 165 and the Colour Q Challenge # 230!

Simon Says Stamp...Splitcoast Love Fest 2014 & MFTWSC164...Everday Blessings!

Hello stampin' friends! I made my card for the My Favorite Things Stamps Wednesday Stamp Club - MFTWSC164...they have a fabulous sketch again this week! It was also a great opportunity to join the FUN Die Crazy Challenge that Simon Says Stamp is having for the Splitcoast Love Fest 2014!

I love this sketch...it made quick work of this card!

Have you ever found inspiration from random object in your home? Well, this morning I found inspiration from a bottle of Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion that was on my bathroom counter. So, I pulled out some MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock Olive, Natural and Primitive Cream for my colour scheme. This week's MFTWSC164 sketch is fabulous and since it made quick work of the layout I decided to try some "techniques". I used my MFT Fishnet Stencil to emboss the Primitive Cream Heavyweight Card Stock and I loved how it looks but I thought I would add a little more colour and left the paper in the stencil and inked with Tim Holtz Forest Moss Distress Ink. I cut the embossed and inked paper with the large rectangle from Blueprints 11.

I used lots of dies on this card...my Fishtail Flags and Fishtail Layers STAX, the Heirloom Label Die-namics and Pierced Oval STAX. The Aveeno bottle had a silhouette of a flower on it that reminded me of the beautiful Lisa Johnson Designs Peaceful Wildflowers Stamps set. So, I cut the Primitive Cream Heavyweight Card Stock with the LJD Wildflowers Die-namics and then stamped the Wildflowers in Natural Premium Dye Ink.  I stamped the swatch of paint from the Abstract Art Stamp set in Natural Premium Dye Ink and then stamped the sentiment from the LJD Cheerful Blessings in Olive Premium Dye ink. To finish it off I added some splatters with Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Chartreuse.

I finished the inside of the card too....I added more LJD Peaceful Wildflowers and another sentiment from the LJD Cheerful Blessings Sentiment set.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little peek at my card for this week's MFTWSC164 Sketch and for the LOVEFEST2014I Simon Says Stamp - Die Crazy Challenge over at the Splitcoast Love Fest!
