Twine wrapped


Te challenge for this week at http://mfpstampshop.blogspot.com/
is Twine Wrapped Block for background
Don't be afraid
There is a tutorial

I wrapped my block with quite heavy twine and used Distress ink to stamp
It turned out very nice I think



                                                     The stamp set is MFP  Tiger
                                                Stamped in distress in with the misti
                                                       First was a yellow then a brown
                                          I have been playing with making tags with
                                                       washi tape and here you see
                                                         a sliver off the edge of one
                                         

                                              You do need to add this technique to your list '         
                                                  so  give it a try

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNICORN CHALLENGE



                                                  For  Unicorn 1st birthday  
                                               decided on an explosion card


I


There are 9 surfaces to decorate  and I did each with a birthday  pop up or sticker





Unfortunately with the print card stock I used it is not showing well

Please believe me it is pretty
This will have to be hand delivered or mailed in a box
I once mailed an explosion box out of the country and the customs tag said explosion box
Guess what customs opened it for inspection and then couldn't fold  it back   My friend received  it  in  a large government  package

                                    HAPPY BIRTHDAY
                               UNICORN CHALLENGE

CAS Birthday


Anyone who follows  me knows  CAS is difficult for me
I have to tell myself over and over it  means simple
STOP

Well I did this time and didn't have to do over
First step was to put the card stock through an embossing  folder






The BIRTHDAY  sentiment is from MFP  stamp set  Large  Blooms

and I used my Mini Misti
NOTE.. the little protector jacket my daughter makes




I used distress inks and marshmallow sponges to color the folder
I have no idea what these are called and I still have packaging ?? 
But  I will add I love and use them a lot

I bought two sets  ,,,,,,not necessary   as you can use both ends
and still have enough for all your colors



They do a nice job once you learn to dab off and use a light touch
