My Cards this week!

So far this week!

Tutorial Time has this great challenge: Altered clip board! You can find it here:

I didn't have a clip board to alter. I did have a big bull clip and a piece of heavy chipboard. I spray painted the clipboard black. Then I added the cardstock layers. I finished the project by applying 3 layers of Modge Podge. I waited 15 minutes between each layer. You can use Elmers Glue as Modge Podge.

These two cards were made for my Thrifty Stamper column on MFPSpeedyTV. You can find it here:
http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/page/bleach-painting There is a full tutorial on both cards, too!

This card was made for my Themes from the Orient Column on MFPSpeedyTV. You can find it here.

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:
