Just hopping along

   Here is another post today. I just happen to be in a creative mode today. I love this cute stamp set from Fun Stampers Journey. I didn't want to color the bunny too much. I lightly colored it with colored pencils and then blended the color using Gamsol. The blending softened the bunny. I really love the River Stone cardstock, it works well with the Bubblegum cardstock.
    

         Hoppy Kreating!!!

Friday Funday!!

  Today I wanted to create a fun card. I started by cutting the rosette. The card started to take shape after that. I wasn't sure what I was going to make until I die cut my pieces of cardstock. I looked thru my stamps after the pieces were cut and embossed. I decided to use Divatude Stamp set from Fun stampers Journey. I thought the sentiment was perfect for this project. I love the way this card turned out.

                 Happy Kreating and Happy Friday!!!

Color Challenge

 This week's challenge at FOSTV is to create a card using the colors pink and brown. I love this color combination. For my card, I chose to use Coneflower Stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop. This stamp set is perfect for the colors. I used my Copic markers for the detailing in my card. Now I am just waiting for the weather to change, so I can enjoy my Coneflowers in my garden. Until then, I will just keep this card on my desk as a reminder of better weather.
       My supplies: Coneflower Stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop, Cryogen White cardstock, Fun Stampers Journey cardstock, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Copic markers, Fun Stampers Journey Rectangle die, Fun Stampers Journey ribbon, and crimper.

Diamond Fold

Today's challenge at FOSTV is to create a card using a Diamond Fold pattern. The instructions for this fold can be found on the challenge page or at Splitcoaststampers. I used patterned paper from Fun Stampers Journey to create my folded piece. I used the stamp set "Hot Air Balloon" from MFP Stamp Shop.  My card needed some POP  once I started to put it together, that was when I added the red to the card. I love the way it turned out. This truly was a quick and easy card to make.

     My supplies: "Hot Air Balloon" stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop, Fun Stampers Journey patterned paper and cardstock, Northwoods Watercolor paper, Fun Stampers Journey Black Licorice ink, clear embossing powder, Tombow markers, Spellbinder's Ironworks Motif dies, Fun Stampers Journey Glaze,Sparkle Dust, and Pearls.

Roses are for Romance

Today's challenge at FOSTV is Romance. When I think of romance, I think of Roses. When I was dating my husband, he worked at a florist. I got flowers every week. The best was when I received just a single rose. Now that we are married and have our own home, I have rosebushes. I love just going out to look at them. I have over 10 bushes around our house.

  For my card, I used the "Roses" Stamp set from MFP Stamp Shop. I chose to color my rose with Spectrum Noir pencils. I love the way they blend well. My cardstock is from Fun Stampers Journey and well as my ink ( Black Licorice). To add a little more romance, I used Romantic Rectangles 2 from Spellbinders. The ribbon is from my stash.
