Featured Designer and Tutorial Time challenge

I am the featured designer this week on the MFPaHC blog! What a treat! I was supposed to do it last week but forgot!  I'm pretty old and they forgave me! Lucky gal, right?

The week I made a card for the technique called Eraser Berries. Here is the card:



Here is the card I forgot to post last Friday for the Tutorial Time Challenge. You still have plenty of time to participate! It is called Stained Glass on Vellum. The butterflies are the stained glass. I followed the instructions for this project here:

Quick, participate right away! You could win a free stamp set! The winner is drawn randomly, so a beginner, novice or experienced stamper could win!

This card took quite a bit of time. The barn and trees were masked in. I stamped the cow on a different sheet of cardstock and cut it out.
 This card was much easier to make. I decided old Bessie here could never go wrong with plaid!
