Angel Fish

I have a card to share with you....I have shared 2 other creations on my other blog using this technique I absolutely love it!

I created this card using the "oh crab" stamp set from Mark's finest papers. I used the angel fish and the senti, inside it says thank you...I took 3 paint colors started with red, then purple, then finished with a peachy pink color...I then rolled some bubble wrap in white paint and then rolled it on my card...I stamped my fish in black ink and added sparkles to their fins. I'm entering this in the Tutorial Time challenge on Speedy TV which is where I got the technique from.

today I have a "Joy fold" and spotlight card to share with you

 I really like this fold and the technique I haven't done either in a long time...but with them both being challenges at MFP I thought I'd give it a try once more.
I used my Autumn glory stamp set from MFP and followed the mesurements for the tutorial on MFP I had to alter the front a bit but the others seemed to be perfect! (I did turn it) and with the spotlight I followed that tutorial as well (they have some awesome tutes over there) I stamped my MFP leaf to make some patterened paper and used a lil fall looking flower to hold the card shut...I love how this turned out...if you know me you know I love fall!

thanks for taking a look :)

this one is Carrie Sassy and she was loads of fun to color...the theme this time was New York or Paris

MFP technique

here is a card I created for the MFP technique challenge

I used my brand new stamp set from MFP and did a double masking technique...I think I'm going to go try it again...I love the background it's all uneven and cool. I used some Tim Holtz inkpads to color everything up and tom twine to tie it all off.

Sassy in the city Miranda

Today I'm sharing with you my third Sassy in the City image Miranda...yes its another ATC
today's challenge is CAS so I tried to keep it a simple as I could.
