Mark's Finest Stamp Shop's Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge 237


Welcome to a new challenge today at Mark's Finest Stamp Shop's blog.  Challenge 237 for the Speedy Fox & Friends Design Team was to make Asian Card Candy.

I originally had 4 pieces, a fan, parasol and 2 lanterns.  However, one of my sweet cats (Chewey) absconded with one of the pieces and proceeded to gnaw on it - hence - only 3 pieces showing.  Why not join us for this challenge - and you'll have pieces ready for a card whenever you need them!  Be sure and check out the Design Team's card candy for some inspiration.

Recipe:

Stamps:  Umbrellas & Fans and Lanterns (at the Mark's Finest Stamp Shop)
Paper:  MFP White Heavy Premium 140 lb. CS
Ink:  Fan:  SU Strawberry Slush and Apricot Appeal; Umbrella (Copics - Y404, 02, 00 and B16, 14 and 12; Lantern: SU Coastal Cabana and Regal Rose

Hope to see you all at the challenge!  Thanks for stopping by - later gator!
