Friends of Speedy TV

Good Morning Friends!! Today at FOSTV we are challenging you to

 Use a Large Sentiment and fill in with some small images.The background has a bit of 

watercolor added to it before stamping.  I have used the sentiment from the

 Happy Thoughts Set. The flowers are from the  Ivy and Blossoms Set

  and the dragonfly from the Dragonfly Set.The flowers were colored with

 markers and the dragonfly stamped with a teal ink.  I matted it on the aqua 

and added the teal border cut with a SU die. 

This is quick and easy so hop on over and join in us today.

Round and Round~~~

Saturday again and time for Friends of Speedy Fox Challenge.

 Round the corners is your challenge today. So its is
Easy peasy, you can round corners on any part of your card!! 

Hop over and share your creation with us!!
 I used a image for the Block Flowers Set.

 Stamped with versamark and heat embossed with some brown powder. 

I cut it out and attached to the mat then rounded the corners. The dotted dp is cut 

with a Spellbinder Label # 17. I just did a little meandering stitch around the edges 

because it looked so plain. Rounded these corners also. The Hello is from

 the  Chrysanthemum Set cut with a SU punch. Im hoping this publishes 

today as Im going to be on the roof at sun up roofing. Hoping to get it finished today
if the weather will be cooporative, please no rain!

Do you like to watercolor??

Hope so because that is our challenge at Tuesday Throwdown this week!

 Our Sponsor is Freckled Fawn and they have provided us with these pretty

 little silver puffy hearts.There is a whole page of them in a variety of shapes and sizes. 

They reflected the shadows and look dark but really they are light and 

look very soft and pretty on the card. I started with green, blue ,purple and

 yellow water colors. Letting them puddle, run and dry. The image is an

 old Carol Wright that I also watercolored and cut a portion of it out 

with a Spellbinder. This was a fun card to make. I also

 made up several other background with  other colors since I was at it.

 Hope you stop over and show us your watercolor creations!

Lemons Lemons

Yes Im using some sunny lemons today for the Friends of Speedy TV Challenge. 

Our challenge is to use 3 panels on your card. It could be for your background or for 

your images. I randomly stamped the Lemon Image all over the panels then colored them 

with water color pencils and a bit with copics. I used chalk for the blue background.

 A little faux stitching around the panels, then added to the yellow base. 

The sentiments are from the  Dogwood Set and the Bring on the Sun Set. 

After matting I foam dotted them on and it was a pretty quick card.You can find

 these sets and Many more plus all your other stamping goodies at MFP Stamp Shop. 

My talented teamies switched it up using the panels several different ways so 

check out their awesome creations and then come show us yours!! 

Have a fabulous week friends!!

Good Morning Friends, today at Speedy Fox and Friends we are challenging 

you to Collage Stamping.

Using different stamps to create a collage effect. I have used several different 

Marks Finest Papers Happy Birthday Stamps and created the background using 

different colored inks with the different stamps. Then using different inks

 I also added some background colors. Next I used the Lily Stamp

 then added the butterfly. I then stitched it onto the gold and added it to 

the green polka dotted base. Although it looks really dark its

 just a nice medium olive green, in person looks nice.

 A little row of jewels and the cards done.

 Its a fun technique and you can created so many different looks with it

. Come join us and give it a whirl!!

s

Make your own Background...

Our Challenge at Speedy Fox and Friends is to sponge over a die cut negative to create your background. I have used a Spellbinder Label  21 for my background. Using Tim Holtz green lavender and blue inks I sponged them on over the negative shape. Then using The Dogwood Flower image I heat embossed it. A little dyed ribbon and stitching, some sparkles and viola a quick card!

I did a second one with a bit of a twist. I just laid the Spellbinder Label 20 die down sponged the red and green inks then used red to sponge on the outside of the die just leaving the outline. Heat embossed one of the Christmas Cardinal images, matted and stitched it all together! The sentiment was from from the same set.

I love Saturdays!!

My day off after a long week and I'm ready for a new Challenge at Speedy Fox and Friends.

 How about you?? Our theme this week is to use a Banner Die Cut on your creations.

 I used two sizes of a Spellbinder banner die. Also used a Spellbinder Scalloped Oval

 embossed with a Dotted Swiss folder.

The little scalloped topper was cut with a Stampin Up Die.

 I used a little paste to add some texture to the bottom and then cut the sentiment 

with a Spellbinder Fancy Label Die. The Sentiment if from the

Set. As it turned out this is a die cut card lol! My talented teammates

 went all different ways with this one so be sure to 

stop by and check out the Fab creations!!

Happy Tuesday Friends!!

Today at Tuesday Throwdown Team B is being sponsored by Sweet & Sassy. 

 They have given us some fun images to work with. Out theme is For A Child. 

 I am using the Ice Cream image and Sentiment from that set.I printed the 

ice cream large twice and a very small one also. After coloring them 

all I cut out just the ice cream. added some stickles and foam dotted it onto the whole 

image for more dimension. The stripe is a piece of old MME stitched on. A little strip

of embossed and die cut white added and them a piece of rick rack. The sentiment

 was cut with a Scalloped Square Spellbinder and then the little ice cream

 and some dots added. Im sending this to my granddaughter.

We would be delighted if you stop over and join us this week!!

Good Morning Friends

It's that time again. Speedy Fox and Friends is challenging you to

 use gold and silver on your creation. For some reason I just was sorta stymied on this one.

 Finally decided to stitched a piece of gold lame onto the black.

 From there I stamped the coneflower fro the Cone Flower Set and cut it out. 

The Sentiment is  silver heat embossed from the Sunflower Set and cut with a Spellbinder

 die then foam dotted on. It looked so plain so I added some "Australian Lace" with 

Silver Stickles.A little harder that doing it with smooth flowing frosting lol! Voila done!! 

Here in the Mohave Desert we are having our last hurrah of heat today 109 and 

then its supposed to cool down to the low 100s by next week!! 

I'm SO ready for some cooler weather.

 Ready to get my garden in and not having to walk before sun up.

Happy Saturday....

Here at Speedy Fox and Friends we have a new Challenge for the upcoming week. 

All the team has some great inspirational creations to get you going!

  The challenge is to Stamp over Stencils. After using some blue lavender and green inks

 with my stencil I also used THE Cracked Hello Set to stamp over the

 stencil in random spots.  After that I used the small rose from the  Roses Set

 I stitched on then distressed the edges and dyed a bow to match.I have to say this the jewels

do match, something about the lighting turned them neon turquoise!!

 All mounted on the blue for a pretty quick card.

 I'm on a twofur roll the past couple weeks LOL!! Needed another card and had started this one first and didnt like it, but after I finished it, it's not so bad so showing it too.

Used a triple square stencil in different colors and then just plain stamped over with the

 Rooster and Hen from the Flap My Wattles Set.

 My friends birthday is here and we have been friends for  40 years!! 

This will make her laugh for sure!

We will look forward to seeing all your great creations when you join us this week!!
