Using a cloud stencil, I created the clouds from bottom to top, adding light shading with black ink. After I had removed the mask, I inked the moon with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink and adhered the panel to a black card base.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4A3-RnCMEb7FJW6u36KyZ-z3k11KQo9E66M2HC5XJgxvlEvOkCndrs97gpSb7x-Zr8I9K9e8P-rsX5rs1yDdSohb0ImJ1_O_ZZymodnKTIYhgD6V_uGZy-TDJdMTku8ovWV1TqP1g8EIdXc4Wd2uu-Bs28RUMx5UyIFuOTaJtnXJ_XOtFn-edAfQgBg/s800/Vanessa7thBloghop3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4A3-RnCMEb7FJW6u36KyZ-z3k11KQo9E66M2HC5XJgxvlEvOkCndrs97gpSb7x-Zr8I9K9e8P-rsX5rs1yDdSohb0ImJ1_O_ZZymodnKTIYhgD6V_uGZy-TDJdMTku8ovWV1TqP1g8EIdXc4Wd2uu-Bs28RUMx5UyIFuOTaJtnXJ_XOtFn-edAfQgBg/w640-h640/Vanessa7thBloghop3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>Now I die-cut the trees, the fence and the grassy border from black cardstock, trimmed the pieces and adhered them to the card.

Just love these bears and trees! For my card, I first stamped the two cuties, masked them, stamped the trees, masked again and inked the background with Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Festive Berries Distress Oxide Inks. After I had removed the masks, I colored the images with Copic markers and adhered the panel to the card base. Now I die-cut the letters from the <a href="https://sunnystudiostamps.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/chloe-alphabet-dies" target="_blank">Chloe Alphabet </a>from white cardstock, inked them with pink ink, matted the letters with black ones to create a shadow and adhered them to the card. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the "sending" onto a strip of black cardstock, trimmed it and added it to the card.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4OsjcPaV1s-RjI4S9JmqpRzYK_QB8eAF_DIcNeKyqZypE8sp6BeWKKa8AinI1A1pt9MlqPN00oBrXT1oR3aFDue1BSVZOPDSZt1qIU1yhsiigcuUaRBImzSQSkmPyRp3S-WZh3y3RmjUN/s800/Vanessa6thbdayhop2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4OsjcPaV1s-RjI4S9JmqpRzYK_QB8eAF_DIcNeKyqZypE8sp6BeWKKa8AinI1A1pt9MlqPN00oBrXT1oR3aFDue1BSVZOPDSZt1qIU1yhsiigcuUaRBImzSQSkmPyRp3S-WZh3y3RmjUN/w640-h640/Vanessa6thbdayhop2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>I hope you like today's inspiration!

But first comes <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/blogs/news/tagged/weekly-sketch-challenge" target="_blank">Sketch 535</a>:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjetAM95pg9dp4wqIgAQXJHEp5_xagDf3-Rl8N7GE2uFtIo95arQ4dBHDlHFzU1LxPTJYD3eomxn-RtLdzvyYYtQ5PujPPV7IJYz20xNifoEKiNpMihdGVFUmOP2cWXQVcxTUMYYsU6W2Ya/s1007/Sketch535.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1007" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjetAM95pg9dp4wqIgAQXJHEp5_xagDf3-Rl8N7GE2uFtIo95arQ4dBHDlHFzU1LxPTJYD3eomxn-RtLdzvyYYtQ5PujPPV7IJYz20xNifoEKiNpMihdGVFUmOP2cWXQVcxTUMYYsU6W2Ya/w400-h318/Sketch535.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>And this is what I made inspired by it:<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbFziLjoBu7Bz1F7iU6nr7elE1bZXfzOxWzR9asHMVarKzn87i_MjUIARpJrCyTIEVBVVl4_aFJushcHZ4PWCZ8bgJlrg1jD_TTwIRNh5lEnY_h9ZQiY_ktgPZ2L4YT7bmmAF5-rNZjS0-/s800/VanessaSketch535a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbFziLjoBu7Bz1F7iU6nr7elE1bZXfzOxWzR9asHMVarKzn87i_MjUIARpJrCyTIEVBVVl4_aFJushcHZ4PWCZ8bgJlrg1jD_TTwIRNh5lEnY_h9ZQiY_ktgPZ2L4YT7bmmAF5-rNZjS0-/w640-h640/VanessaSketch535a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>Here I started with a white card base and stamped the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/collections/stamps/products/pumped-up-numbers" target="_blank">Pumped-Up Numbers</a> with grey ink.

It's Wednesday, time for the new <a href="https://mftstamps.com/blogs/news" target="_blank">MFT Sketch Challenge 532</a>. I am pleased to be back for my second week guesting for <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com" target="_blank">My Favorite Things</a>.

I am in love with this stamp set. First, I stamped my images onto the panel of white cardstock, building up the scene by masking the stamped images before stamping the next image. Then I used tape to mask off the background and applied Cracked Pistachio and Pine Needles Distress Oxide Inks. Now I stamped the <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/collections/stamps/products/bg-happy-birthday-background" target="_blank">Happy Birthday Background</a> and removed all the masks from the panel. <div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzfDy6B1Usr8z6yixak2eFngkXHvO1czamB1HgDb6iYILpo9Vy5w-qmrpPF_g4pWEuQZtMoJ9g5NsDjcBBupZkoVoVGxUcnLn-TeWqu466cc0-uwGNTVrJ2Vlg4Z1ceGHNC-U6PVS7V5nz/s800/VanessaSketch532detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzfDy6B1Usr8z6yixak2eFngkXHvO1czamB1HgDb6iYILpo9Vy5w-qmrpPF_g4pWEuQZtMoJ9g5NsDjcBBupZkoVoVGxUcnLn-TeWqu466cc0-uwGNTVrJ2Vlg4Z1ceGHNC-U6PVS7V5nz/w640-h640/VanessaSketch532detail.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>After I had colored the images with Copic markers and added details with a white gel pen, I adhered the panel to a pink card base. I stamped the sentiment from <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/collections/stamps/products/bb-bitty-bears" target="_blank">BB Bitty Bears </a>onto a strip of black cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, trimmed it and adhered it to the card. Finally, I added tiny star confetti, resuming the star shape again.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you like my take on this week's sketch. I would love to join this cute party!

I used the Full Of Heart stencil to create soft bokeh hearts with white pigment ink. After I had removed the masks, I colored the images with Copic markers. Finally, I inked a piece of cardstock with the red and pink Distress Oxide inks, die-cut the xoxo using the LLD Stitched Alphabet Die-namics and adhered them to the card.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi13qaip7uuV-BSY8_CjpX_Ln3gm3QRCp9m9ZOVbYNxyztUlIUKcWHqPx70Cd7pv3g7gaGOy4EIdeDGLH6RBLqY8jjJLfvcU4iAZZeyaZzhZj55Ds16A6LavYW2ZO-wBoRJPKVFY0dF_PfH/s800/VanessaSketch523b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi13qaip7uuV-BSY8_CjpX_Ln3gm3QRCp9m9ZOVbYNxyztUlIUKcWHqPx70Cd7pv3g7gaGOy4EIdeDGLH6RBLqY8jjJLfvcU4iAZZeyaZzhZj55Ds16A6LavYW2ZO-wBoRJPKVFY0dF_PfH/w640-h640/VanessaSketch523b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>These cute faces make me smile!

It's time to end this strange year with a card welcoming 2021. I hope you were able to deal with this difficult situation we are all in. Remember you are not alone and everything will be over one day. I wished to put a little smile onto your face and enjoyed sitting down to create this New Year's card using the colors from the current <a href="https://mftstamps.com/blogs/news/cc156" target="_blank">MFT Color Challenge 156</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmYM43Wcg5EDuz_U_EtZVlwSePda4X6gvOmItBFzwA0tEmsRTm35xnWQEPbs41HZ_u7pISCaDIDrYbe3SBJB5oO5kdEcdImTLavmpqKGRaFsS_nNu4CyZZloG6XTLkUmtWuxOQHNUP4840/s800/MFT_ColorChallenge_PaintBook__156.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="166" data-original-width="800" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmYM43Wcg5EDuz_U_EtZVlwSePda4X6gvOmItBFzwA0tEmsRTm35xnWQEPbs41HZ_u7pISCaDIDrYbe3SBJB5oO5kdEcdImTLavmpqKGRaFsS_nNu4CyZZloG6XTLkUmtWuxOQHNUP4840/w640-h133/MFT_ColorChallenge_PaintBook__156.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>This cool palette screamed for a frosty winter scene:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzczLbu1TnbzOoNozexLBWjMzyF02mF-y0T35AceXosDlWldL_4_sM7PhktnhDhyphenhypheneffhuzJxfW5-Hs2y0ptu7Blgb1dj_apnLpiYrOXyc7vdgjy7UVfDWz4i9JLqLvbQ5lbym_lNCWZq0Y/s800/2021a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzczLbu1TnbzOoNozexLBWjMzyF02mF-y0T35AceXosDlWldL_4_sM7PhktnhDhyphenhypheneffhuzJxfW5-Hs2y0ptu7Blgb1dj_apnLpiYrOXyc7vdgjy7UVfDWz4i9JLqLvbQ5lbym_lNCWZq0Y/w640-h640/2021a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I created a one-layer card masking my images before inking the background with Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. The Pumped-Up Numbers stamps were perfect for my purpose - I stamped the bold images with the same colors used for the background and added dimension with colored pencils and a white gel pen. The adorable owl from SY Warm & Feathered Hugs is colored with Copics.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlIkwn6F0gZLBOazl_5V8O_aovzmB0sy_shLZBc4BETMkWqcHJlCzkcf6kl9M3h3-W4I2DTePoUs0arVrXrRwXcNX4SnZDnmLczsK1tipy2eN1-07FYbqVQKWRPB4qfBAMGQfmWPrnW5de/s800/2021b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlIkwn6F0gZLBOazl_5V8O_aovzmB0sy_shLZBc4BETMkWqcHJlCzkcf6kl9M3h3-W4I2DTePoUs0arVrXrRwXcNX4SnZDnmLczsK1tipy2eN1-07FYbqVQKWRPB4qfBAMGQfmWPrnW5de/w640-h640/2021b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>Now I am wishing you all a very happy New Year!
