The challenge for Monday at Friends of Speedy TV is "Metal".
I made a black and ivory card with black metal brads and a swirl metal ribbon bracket. This card can go either for a lady or a man.
This was a different challenge for me cause I only have metal brads but in my swap box I found this ribbon bracket...perfect for this challenge.

Tutorial Time # 63

"Stained Glass on Vellum" is the challenge for Tutorial Time on Speedy TV.
Michael's Craft Store had no clear vellum so I bought a frosted one, the color isn't very vibrant but you still can see the colors behind the leaves.
I would still like to try it with a clear vellum.
I used an orange embossed powder to my leaves. Perfect for the autumn season.

Friends of Speedy TV Challenge # 86

This week challenge at Friends of Speedy TV is "Sentiment Only".
I remembered that I had a cuttlebug folder with just words of different thank yous so I used that as my background...I also stamped "thank you so much" with different color inks. Added  brown ribbon, flowers of the same color family just to add a little punch to my card...
Go over and see what the designer team has made and join in the fun!!

Thrifty Stamper is showing how to make it with Styofoam...this was pretty easy but a bit messy...You need to try it it doesn't take much time and styofoam goes a long way..
