MFT Card Sketch 161

Good evening fellow crafters! How are you all doing? I certainly hope you all have had a great weekend, have had plenty of rest, and are ready to jump-start your way into another week that will surely zoom right past us all! The last few days have been sort of a blur, had a bit of a family emergency to deal with, won't go into detail about it here, but lets just say that God gives us all second chances for a reason, and we should all be grateful for the lives we have and are able to live every day.

Today I wanted to share with you real quick a Valentines Day card I made for the My Favorite Things Cards Sketch #161.

I used a White Cardstock base for my card, and added some Valentine Paper that I've had left over for a few years now. The digi image is from Whimsie Doodles digital images store, isn't she adorable?! They have some of the cutest digital stamps, I just love how easy digital stamps are! I added the wrong shade of gray to her "Cupid" wings, so I tried to tone it down a bit with some glitter. The banner die cut is from Papertrey Ink's Notched Hearts Banner Die collection. The stamped Happy Valentine's Day round sentiment and heart are from My Favorite Things Lollipop Additions: Love stamp set. I only own the Lollipop stamp sets and matching die sets for the Lollipop series through My Favorite Things, but would love to invest in some more of their products soon! I love all the dies they have available!

I need to catch up on some Etsy orders, then get some rest to start my work week. Thanks so much for stopping by, hope you all enjoy the rest of your week!

Freshly Made Sketches #115

Man, I am on a roll! I don't think I have ever had the time to post this many projects at one time ever! I am so blessed to be able to have some extra time this week to myself to just sit down, relax, and finally create!

This card is for the Freshly Made Sketches #115 challenge. This is the first time I am joining one of the FMS challenges, I see their challenges all the time but have never participated in one! I love these sketch challenges though, it is so nice to have someone else decide how they want you to make the layout of your project!

I used a digital stamp from Whimsie Doodles, love all their Christmas images, they are adorable! I colored in my image with some Prismacolor markers: Crimson Red, Dark Brown, Blush Pink, Process Red, Apple Green, Dark Olive Green, Light Peach, and Raspberry. I sure do love my Prismacolor markers, although I do hope to one day invest in some copic markers. I have had my Prismacolor Markers for over 5 years now and they still work like a charm. The only one that is just now starting to run out is the Crimson red. I love the way these markers blend together to create a nice, clean colored look.

My sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Boutique Borders: Christmas Stamp set. I had a left over snowflake cut out from PTI's Fancy Snowflakes Die set, so I glittered that up and placed it behind my digital stamp. I embossed my red panel with clear embossing powder after stamping it with Hero Arts Snowflakes and Edges Cling stamp. The only thing I would change on the card is the red panel, I think it is too much red against all the red in my digital image, but I still like the card anyway.

Thanks for stopping by again, bye!
