Moxie Fab Challenge: Honoring Ombre Two

Hello again. What fun....inky fingers! As long as the inky spot monster doesn't deposit on the card....eeeek!  Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger

 

 

 

Had a bit of fun with this card. The dimensional foam showed through the Neenah card on the right side. Hmmmmm. I had to back it with a second layer of card. I am sure there is an answer to this??????

Here is the finished card.

 

Stamps used Hero Arts Paint Spots E5783 and Hero Arts Everyday Saying (CL342)
Inks Hero Arts
Punched Butterfly Martha Stewart

Until next time...take care!!

Moxie Fab Challenge: Honoring Ombre One

Hi there visitors!
Here we are with another Moxie Fab Challenge. Isn't the image just gorgeous. Too good to eat!!
I made two cards, the second one in another post. Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger

 

I played with a few ideas. In particular Jennifer McGuire's Die Cut Inlays which I love.

I nearly got there but......not quite. Another time.

 

Here is the card that did eventuate. The HELLO started out white, but after living with the card for a few days I realized it needed a colour.

 

 

 

 

 

I used a stamp from MFT LLD Border It- Modern Borders.
The die cut 'hello' is Memory Box PARKER UPPER ALPHABET SET Craft DIE 98364
Ink Colours are Hero Arts Inks

See me in the next post.

Fusion Card Challenge #16 Cool Watermelon!!

This image from Fusion is so pretty. I can imagine partaking in this delightful beverage on a hot summers day. I loved the 'prettiness' of the colours so wanted to stay soft in the card. I thought keeping the wedge of watermelon was a bit of whimsy.

The Shabby Tearoom Challenge #181 - 'Tea Party Picnic'

I enjoyed working with this image again.(see the other card here). This time I went a little brighter with the colours, but still kept it quite shabby and layered.
Here is the gorgeous inspiration photo. Click on it to take you to The Shabby Tearoom to see the other participants cards.
