Speedy TV Challenges -- Hot and Cool

I wound up doing both of the new challenges (Sketch with a Twist and Simple Salutations) over on Speedy TV today.  The sketch challenge was posted yesterday, but I didn't have a chance to do it then.   I used one of the stamp sets that will be released next week, Hot & Spicy, to make my card.  This is the HOT part of my post today.


The card base is MFP Morning Sun and the background DP comes from two different Basic Grey paper pads -- Wassail and Green at Heart.  The string of chili peppers looked a little stark on that white panel, so I added some doodling down the sides.

The COOL part of my post is the Simple Salutations challenge.  This week's theme was "Beach."  The MFP set, Island Life, seemed like the perfect set to use on this card.


I recently attended StampFest Orlando, a show I really like.  I found this cloud template in one of the booths.  I'm still working on how to space the clouds in the sky, but I'm getting there.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you try one or both of these challenges.  Each week the hostesses choose a winner to receive a free Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company, stamp set.

    Like your Island Life card. Especially like your coloring. You indicate you attended Stampfest in Orlando. Would that be Orlando, FL? I grew up E cost of FL, went to college in Orlando & was married at Leu Gardens in Orlando. Thanks for entering MFP Simple Salutations Ch#2 Beach.

    I was just admiring how you colored your chilies. Great hot card. The clouds on your cool card look so realistic.
