MFT Camp Create - Glitzy Glitter

I had some time to play along with MFT Camp Create today.  It's a summer camp for stampers and has 5 days of challenges!  It started on Monday so I am late, but it looked like so much fun that I'm going to try to complete the challenges before the deadline on June 23rd.

The first challenge is Glitzy Glitter.  I just got the Beautiful Girl stamp set from MFT and thought that would be a great image to add glitter to, so I used the sweet little girl to make some cards.  Here is the first card, I used an Action Wobble so she really dances...so cute!  

The scalloped circle behind her is Stitched Mini-Scallop Circle STAX from MFT.  I wanted a green edge so I die cut one in purple and one in green and then trimmed along the stitch line of the green one and glued it on!  I really like how this looks!  I also tried some really simple no-line coloring on this card.  I used it to make the flowery background.  It looks like patterned paper, doesn't it? The last layer was stamped with Versamark and the Simply Circles background stamp.  Here's a close-up...

Glitter is so difficult to photograph, but I got lucky with this shot.  Ohhh, ahhh...look at that glitz!!

I always color two of an image when I'm making a card.  That way, if I mess up on the first one, I can correct my mistakes on the second one and still end up with something that I can use.  This time I was lucky and they both were usable!  SO...here is the 2nd card.  I used MFT's new Blueprints 29 for this one...love it...a lot!  

I used a piece of MFT's Sweet Sunshine 6x6 Paper Pack as a background.  It coordinated perfectly with my color scheme!  I wasn't sure about the curly-cues on the top of her head.  On the first card I colored them like flower vines but on this one, I colored them like curls of her hair...I like them both!  Here's the close-up view...

While trying to come up with a way to show how sparkly the glitter looks, I took this photo.  It didn't really catch the glitter like I wanted it to, but I liked it so much that I needed to include it.  

I know time is short, but I hope my cards made you think about going to MFT's summer camp!  They've come up with some fun ideas...and the videos are great!  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a good weekend :)

Cozy Bear Christmas

This is the card that I made for Christmas this year.  This polar bear makes me laugh and it's fun to dress him in different sweaters!  I like using acetate and it gave this card a 3-D look that I really like.  I used white acrylic paint to put dots on the acetate and on the dark blue card on the back.  There is about an inch between the two pieces that give this card a lot of depth and makes it look like the funny bear is standing outside in the snow!

It was tricky to take a photo that showed the 3-D effect.  I hope you can see it in this one!

I wanted the cocoa cup to be popped out so I stamped his hands, cut them out and then glued them on with a piece of foam tape behind the cup so it could be rounded. 

Here's a close up...
