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!!

It Tuesday~~~

Time for a new Challenge at Tuesday Throwdown!  Team B is showing off their Creations today.
 The CHALLENGE is SWEETS. Show us your card with some type of sweet treat on it.
I need two cards and liked both images so have made two different cards today.
Our Sponsor is Robyn's Fetish, check out their huge selection of images!!


The first uses the Snowman Cone image
Pretty simple, stitched on the plaid and cut a banner. After coloring and glittering the cutie Snowman image I cut it out and mounted on the embossed banner. A quick folded bow attached with a button finishes the top of the banner. The sentiment is cut with a Spellbinder and attached to the black punched with a Marvy punch.


The second is using the Cupcake With Leaf image
After cutting and stitching on the corner pieces I colored and cut out the cupcake image. A little glitter added to the flower. The layers were cut with a Scalloped Spellbinder rectangle die. The brown embossed and cupcake added. The bow is dyed seam binding. The sentiment was cut out with a Spellbinder Label with a little jewel added .
Be sure to stop over and show us your Sweet Stuff this week!
