Today's challenge at FOSTV is to create some tags. I decided to do some fall tags. I chose Witchie stamp set and Scarecrow stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  I decide to make my tags distressed. I love the way they turned out. They are very fall like.
   My supplies: Scarecrow tag: Distressed paint in Rock candy, Distressed ink in Crushed Olive, Basic Grey "Eerie" paper.
         Pumpkin tag: Distressed paint in Picket Fence, Distressed stain in Rusty Hinge and Dried Marigold, BoBunny "Apple Cider" paper
       Witchie tag: Distressed paint in Picket fence, Distressed ink in Seedless preserves, Basic Grey "Eerie" paper.

   I used Fun Stampers Journey Black Licorice ink, Fun Stampers Journey Whipped Cream cardstock, Spectrum Noir colored pencils to color images, Fun Stampers Journey Glaze to adhere the images to the tags, and misc. fibers.

Circle card

 


 
Today's challenge for FOSTV  at mfpSPeedyTV is to create a circle card. I used my Silhouette Cameo to create the circles for this card. Once that was done, the card was simple and came togetjer easily. I used the newest stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. This ste is called Hot Air Balloon. I colored the ballon using my Copic markers. I wanted to give the words a little sparkle so I used som embossing powder from Judi Kins called Extreme Peacock.
This card is perfect for an invite to some exciting event. It is always nice to create something other then square or rectangle cards.
My other supplies are: Gina K cardstock, Curious metallic cardstock, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and Fun Stampers Journey Lemon Grass Ink.

Movie Time!!!

 
Today's challenge at FOSTV is to create a child's card. This set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. is a perfect stamp set for the challenge. I decided to make a birthday card because my boys always are going to parties. Kids love going to the movies so this card is perfect. I can smell the popcorn now. Just need a gift card to the local movie theatre and gift is done.
With my embossing folder, I put distress stain on it and rubbed the cardstock on the folder. I then embossed the cardstock and turned it over and debossed the cardstock,. I rubbed ink across the side with the raised dots.
My supplies are: Now Showing Stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, Cryogen White cardstock, Fun Stampers Journey cardstock, Fun Stampers Journey Black Licorice ink, Memento inks in Danube Blue and Ladybug, Faded Jeans Distress Stain, Copics, Embossing folder with dots, and popdots.
