MFT Camp Create: Day 2 Resist

My Favorite Things is hosting a creative camp this week.

Day 2's challenge was emboss resist.

I embossed with white powder then used lilac distress ink over the top

and flicked with Catherine Pooler ink.
 

I really LOVE how this one turned out and will make
more like this with different sentiments.

 

 

 

stamps: MFT Beautiful Blooms

and MFT Deepest Sympathy

 

I am also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Emboss

 

Have a GREAT day!

Sending Prayers

Great, but busy start to the new school year.

Sharing some cards I made as sympathy cards and thinking of you cards.

The stamps are by Cas-ual Fridays called  "Cas-ual Comfort" 

Some cards are generational stamping and some are two color of ink.

 

That teal one was my favorite, but I didn't get an individual picture of it.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

I am entering these cards into the following challenges:

City Crafter #329: Turning Over a New Leaf

Sympathy Card

Sharing a card I gave to a friend going through a difficult time. 

The bunny's sweet face was sure to cheer anyone up.

The card features a Stacey Yacula stamp for Purple Onion called "Rosie".

 

 

I colored Rosie with Copics.

The twine is from The Twinery.

That raised panel is by Nestablilites.

The background stamp is "friendship definition" by HA.

 I am entering this into the Purple Onion Stacey Yacula card challenge.

Thanks for looking!

CTS#89: Wishing You Comfort

Howdy.

 Had some time yesterday to play along with the new CAS(E) this Sketch.

I decided to use my CAS-ual Fridays Fri-dies "Casual Comfort" as 

well as the coordinating stamp sentiment.

The background is punchinella by Neat and Tangled.

I put a few swipes of Wink of Stella glitter pen to the tips of the yellow die cut.

 

Thanks for stopping by,

STS18: Sending Hugs

Hi there.

Sharing a sympathy themed card I made for someone.

Used the sketch from Seize the Sketch #18.

I used a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.  

Those little yellow centers are melted Perle beads.

Melted them for about +/- 25 minutes for 320 degrees on parchment paper. 

Thanks to THIS post for the tips. 

 I had tried it at a higher temperature and failed.  Low and Slow!

 

Thanks for visiting!

Please check out my Card Drive for Emma!

Thanks,

Sympathy Card

Needed a sympathy card to send to an elder's family at church.

He passed away expectantly last week.

I was so blessed by his leadership of communion over the past several years.

Since I just cut into my MME Lost and Found paper I bought well over a year ago that I used for another challenge I decided to use it for this one (and another to be shared later).

I am submitting this card into the 

 Simon Says Stamp: Thinking of You/Sympathy challenge.

Supplies:

Stamps: Verve

Papers:  MME

Other: Spellbinders Lacey Circles, Hemptique String, 
EK dimensional foam, MS butterfly punch

 Reminder about my Card Drive for Addison.
Thanks for visiting!

Moxie Fab: Square Sketch Challenge

Needed an idea for a sympathy card for our neighbors. 

The Mrs. lost her mother and I wanted to get a card out quickly.

I used the sketch from the Moxie Fab World blog without any alterations.

LOVE how the colored pencils look on kraft.  The colors are really nice LIVE.

I added distress ink to the edges.
