Speedy Fox and Friends challenge 127



Hello everyone, Speedy Fox and Friends challenge this week is CIRCLES - circle stamps, circles of card, circles of paper etc.

I've made a background by inking through a dot mask and stamping with a stripy stamp. The circle stamps punched out with a 1 inch punch and the sentiment stamps are all by Paula Pascual.

Thank you for stopping by.

Greetings, everybody. Here are two bookmark tags I've made, starting with two manilla tags, adding colour with a Ranger distress tool and Tim Holtz distress inks. Have used various stamps and dotted pattern inking mask.

I would like to enter these into the Speedy Fox and Friends challenge 126 to use TAGS, either on their own or as embellishments on a card.

Also Word Art Wednesday challenge 47.

Blue and white


Hi everyone, one of my favourite techniques at the moment is to stamp and heat embossing with embossing powder and then sponge ink over the top of the image.

To make this card, I first made the snowflake background by stamping a snowflake (Penny Black) several times and heat embossing with white embossing powder and using a Ranger distress tool to ink over the top with Ranger Faded Jeans ink.  I did the same with the Christmas tree stamp (IndigoBlu) and the word "Christmas" (Penny Black).  The word "happy" was made with little punched circles and an alphabet stamp set.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Speedy Fox and Friends challenge 125 to make a card using a favourite technique

Creative Card Crew challenge 19 to make a card with a TREE

Artful Times challenge 13 to make something featuring a TREE as the main focus

Thank you so much for looking!

Hi everyone and a big hello to new member Sandra.

Speedy Fox and Friends challenge 121



Hi everyone, and a warm welcome to new member, Ardyth.

The current Speedy Fox and Friends challenge is to make "nice friendly cards to warm the heart of a friend".

As the sentiment I used is "Friends are the sunshine of life",  I wanted to have nice sunny colours on my card. I cut a square piece of white card and stamped some flowers from a Hobby Art stamp set and heat embossed in black, used a circle punch to make a mask for the sun, and coloured with Ranger distress inks.

Speedy Fox challenge 120



Hi everyone, Speedy Fox & Friends have a challenge this week to make a card with DOTS.

I made my background by inking with a few colours through different masks (including dots) and stamped with Sepia archival.

The red panel was made by embossing a piece of Coredinations card with the Sizzix Embossing Boutique with a Tim Holtz embossing folder.

I stamped the other Coredinations panel with stamps from the Vintage Blue stamp set by Glitz and added some dots with white distress stain and the dotty mask, toned down with some distress ink.

Speedy Fox and Friends challenge 115



Hi everyone, this is a card I've made for Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 115 to make a blue and green card.

I had in mind to make something completely different using a new stamp I bought recently and some vellum, but as I needed to make a quick thank you card for someone, I made this. Hopefully I will have time to do my original idea later!

All materials by Craftwork Cards.

I used the Spring Fling template to cut some flowers and leaves out of embossed card from the Sweet Pea collection, stamped the butterflies using Tim Holtz distress ink, added a little banner with a stamped sentiment and some Card Candi.
