Something new... Altenew!

Altenew has some really pretty stamp sets and I finally acquired a couple of them. I used the Peony Bouquet set for today's card. Let me tell you, these layering stamps are so fun to work with and it was really hard to pick a color combination for my first project. I finally decided on this green combo. Hope you like!

My Favorite Things, Color challenge #52

It's time for the new color challenge at My Favorite Things. I LOVE this color combo!!! And oh goodness...I bought these chibi lights months ago but had not really given a lot of thought as to how I would use them at the time I purchased them. Then yesterday I picked up the Magical Dragons set and thought -- PERFECT! I'm so glad my idea came out so well. Isn't it too cool??? Thanks to Jennifer McGuire and Karolyn Loncon for their great tutorials on how to use the chibitronics light kit.

Press his belly and viola!!! He lights my fire....hahaha!

My Favorite Things, Color Challenge #51

Today’s project is for the My Favorite Things Color Challenge #51. I used the Magical Dragons stamps and dies for my card. The cute little knight in shining armor and the sentiment are also part of this adorable set by Birdie Brown.

I cut two of each image, then after coloring the images with copic markers, I heat embossed them with clear embossing powder and adhered them each to the second die cut using foam tape. I love the look of the heat embossing, plus it adds even more dimension when using foam tape.

MFT Camp Create 3, Awesome Ombre

It's Day 2 of Camp Create with MFT and today's challenge is Ombre. I chose to use this technique a little differently than you would expect. I used inks to create an ombre affect on watercolor paper than stamped and die cut onto the ombre piece to create the adorable dragon and the 'hello'. I love him!!!

From the adorable Magical Dragons set by Birdie Brown, I fell in love with this guy the minute I saw him in the sneak peeks of the new release and had to have him! He's so sweet!!!
