TPE Challenge #129

Hello and happy beautiful Monday of 2012!

We have a new challenge over at The Pink Elephant - and we are ready for another year of fun themes!

This week we have one that I KNOW you will enjoy:

ANYTHING GOES

See? I know you too well. ;)

Back in November (that was SO last year - lol!)  the DT was privileged

to work with MFT stamps, and we are showcasing them again. 

I chose to work with Feelin' Froggy:

Here is the card that I made for this week's challenge:

So much fun! 

I love sentiments as a focal point, and having that little toad as an accent was perfect.

Here is the card that I made back in November with the same set:

(There's something about this set that makes me want to use my leafy CB folder - lol!)

Now come on over to TPE's blog to join in on the Anything Goes challenge!
All you have to do is link up your current work and we will stop by to visit.

Have a beautiful day everyone!
Happy New Year!

TPE Challenge #125

Happy Monday everyone!
Today starts a new challenge over at The Pink Elephant, 

and this week we have a wonderful sponsor:

 

I had the honor to meet Kim, the owner, a few years ago! :)

MFT is a generous sponsor this week, so be sure to play along with our theme:

EMBOSSING

Love it! It can be dry, wet, as long as there is some embossing on your creation.

For my card I used the adorable Feeling Froggy set:

I loved her denim overalls for this time of year!
I embossed the denim dp with a branch folder and the image with my favorite button border.

What ever did I do before the Cuttlebug was invented? ;)

The image is also wet embossed - one of my go-to techniques,

especially when I run out of quality card stock.

This ensures that your copics won't bleed out of the image.

I also stamp with black ink, and emboss with a clear powder,

this way you don't have to worry about black specks everywhere.

(Thanks Marji! Great tip!)

Come on by The Pink Elephant blog to see the other beautiful samples!
The Design Team has showcased MFT's range of fun clear stamps,

be sure to join in on the fun this week!
Have a beautiful day everyone, 

I will be back in a bit with another great Monday challenge.
