crazy 4 challenges 29

The challenge for Crazy 4 Challenges today was to make a spring card. I have so enjoyed all of these new spring sets released by Mark's Finest Papers. This little humming bird and anise is from the Daffodil and Anise set. I also added some of the gorgeous fern from the Fern and Chickadee set. The background paper is from Basic Grey.All the papers,stamps, flowers, and ribbon are from Mark's Finest Papers. You will also find a wonderful collection of Spellbinders in Faith's store as well. I have been enjoying my month as guest designer for Mark's Finest Papers this month, and these stamps have been fabulous to use. I think nature offers us so many wonderful timeless subjects and I'm so glad that Faith uses those wonders around our world in the sets she has designed.

Day 3 at the MFP Blog Hop

I just adore this newly released set called Daffodil and Anise from Mark's Finest Papers. This is day 3 of the Blog Hop and I hope you have enjoyed seeing these fabulous new sets. Get right over to Mark's Finest Papers so you can get this ordered to enjoy during the spring season. This butterfly is such a great size. All the papers are from MFP and they also handle all the great Spellbinder shapes we all love. Basic Grey patterns are some of my favorite design papers and MFP have those too. The lime squeeze cardstock is a fabulous color and one of my favorites.

Mark's Finest Papers Guest Designer

March is going to be such an exciting time for me as I will get the opportunity to be a guest designer for Mark's Finest Papers. I can not begin to tell you how thrilled I am to have a chance to do some things I love.

I think you will be excited to see the new stamps that Faith will have available soon over at Mark's Finest Papers. This one I used is called Daffodils and Anise. It has this butterfly and also a hummingbird as part of the set. I was really excited about these wonderful metal flowers and leaves as embellishments. Check on those to be released as well. Faith also handles all the Basic Grey collections that I love and I used some of the papers from the Nook and Pantry collection on this card. The cardstock, called Breezy Blue, is just right for those gorgeous spring cards you will need to get going on!!! I stamped the anise directly onto the design paper, which is something I have been trying lately. I colored it in with copic markers as well as the butterfly.The ribbon is a soft blue organdy which is so perfect for that light and airy feeling that makes you think of spring. Look forward to MFP's blog hop to take place on March 10-13. More details to come on that!

Again, I look forward to showing you all the wonderful things you can find over at Mark's Finest Papers.
