I've been a busy bunny the past few days, so I figured I should hop in here and post some more of the things I've been creating!

This is my entry for this coming Tuesday's MFT Idol Judges challenge! The challenge was to make a single layer card! I loved doing this challenge although the topic I chose for my card was bittersweet for me. I made this thank you card with a subtle reference to Breast Cancer awareness. I've had two childhood friends pass away from this disease and could not help but think of how happy they would have been to recieve this card! Which started me thinking... I'm also going to recreate this card to donate for the MFT Charity Swap I organized and am hosting on Splitcoaststampers! I hope the recipients of these cards like them!

To make the card, I used Gina K Pure Luxury 120 pound CS. I sponged Ranger Distress Ink in Antique around the edge of the CS front, avoiding the center oval area. I followed this with sponging in Chalk ink in Mauve and Light Pink gradually blending the colors in towards the oval center. I stamped the sentiment next, which is from MFT's Grateful Greetings set, and took two of the tiny flowers from the Shower Time set and randomly stamped inside the edge of the oval area. I freehand drew in 'vines' to connect the tiny flowers to help create a sort of oval shaped border. I stamped the center pink heart ribbon from MFT's Think Pink stamp set using SU Pixie Pink ink. Then using the Pixie Pink SU marker, I colored in all of the tiny tulips. The daisies are colored using SU Bashful blue, and SU Cameo Coral. The vines and leaves are colored in with SU Garden Green, Certainly Celery, and Old Olive. I added a simple pink ribbon using SU Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon.

I also worked on Gael's Farm Animal Swap in the last few days. I made the following two cards for my spots! I had so much fun, I didn't wanna stop! I have several more ideas already in my head should she host another Farm Swap (*hint hint* Gael! ;))

This card is headed to Audrey's house for her new

Sweet and Sassy Swap on Splitcoaststampers! Betty

Bombshell --from Stampingbella-- is such a sassy gal so she is perfect for that group! Don't ya think?

Well, not to be outdone, I also did a spot in Audrey's 'Sweet' group for the swap! I decided that this Angel card certainly fits the bill for that. The angel and the sentiment are from SU's 'If the Halo Fits' stamp set.
