Very Nice MFT Sketch...

Joining in the fun at My Favorite Things sketch this week and I thought I'd try my hand at colouring with Copics.

Floral FUSION Cupcakes...

I've gone for a more vintage vibe for the fabulous FUSION challenge this fortnight. Inspired by both the super versatile FUSION sketch and super cute cupcakes, this birthday card was created using Distress Ink Ground Espresso to stamp Avery Elle Cupcakes stamp, paired with the Avery Elle Cupcakes die cuts and sentiment, added Distress Ink Spun Sugar to stamp Your Next Stamp Mini Flower Splatter and added a sprinkling of buttons from my stash and distressed the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide.

To play along you can take inspiration from either the FUSION sketch or inspiration photo - or combine the two as I have!

Spring & Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop...

Playing along with the fabulous 2018 Spring and Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop. Created using a combination of papers and ephemera from Cocoa Vanilla Endless Story and Tersa Collins Tell Your Story. Cute cup die cut from Mama Elephant and "perfect" die cut from Verve. Started with the sketch from The Paper Players as inspiration, but it strayed a little in its execution! Loving the sentiment quote from Mother Teresa, "We cannot always go great things, but we can do small things with great love".

Coral Flower FUSION

Feeling a little under the weather this week?  Hope the FUSION inspiration is enough to put a spring back in your step!

Inspired by the fabulous FUSION sketch and photo, I die cut these gorgeous stitched blooms from MFT and coloured them using Distressed Oxides in Abandoned Coral, Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint and Antique Linen. Added an MFT Dienamics Scalloped Edge and Mama Elephant Flag die cut, stamped with MFT Anything But Basic Birthday Wishes sentiment, and popped on a couple of pearl accents for flower centres, (perfect for playing along with Double D's Bling it Up challenge too!)

You're Jawsome!

LOVE this cool shark and his JAWsome matching sentiment from MFT, just perfect for a little (or BIG) boy's birthday card. Background created using alcohol inks on opaque Yupo (although I think baking or tracing paper may work just as well), dripped on the light blue, dark blue and yellow inks and blotted off the excess with ridged paper towel to create the mottled colour effect. Die cut with Dienamics scalloped edge to create the waves, then stamped and fussy cut the shark from grey cardstock and stamped the sentiment on and MFT fishtail flag - naturally lol!
