A {Happy Spring} Card...

Hey friends!  I was drinking a cup of coffee this morning, browsing my usual blogs and websites when I cam across a challenge at Moxie Fab World.  The challenge Cath issued was to make a card using paper piecing. My favorite thing to paper piece lately are these adorable umbrellas from the Spring set from Clear & Simple Stamps.  So, I made this happy little spring card.  


The cloud paper I chose has some distress lines in it that make it look sorta windy so the umbrellas look like they are blowing around.  

Here's a close-up shot of the black enamel accents I used on the tops of the umbrella.  


Have a great day!

A Plum Thank You

Hello! I was browsing my usual blogs this morning and stumbled upon a plum crazy challenge at the Moxie Fab blog. The idea was to make a card using the color plum. This was a great excuse to break out my new Label Nine Nestabilities Dies.

You can see in this close-up, that I sponged the inside of the sentiment panel with Pale Plum ink. It's very subtle. You can see it a lot clearer in person.

A Moxie Fab Card...

Hello! I thought I would try a new challenge today. I read the Moxie Fab World blog everyday and thought it would be fun to finally participate in a challenge (and the prize is awesome too). The challenge was to make a holiday card. Easy enough. I drew my inspiration from this tag I made a couple months ago.

I changed quite a few things. The star is yellow covered in stickles. My tree is bigger at the bottom and gets smaller as you go up. I punched a lattice border to hang from the tree layers. I faux stitched around the border with a white pen. And used a new stamp!
I hope this card is Moxie Fab worthy! It was definitely a fun card to make and gets me in the mood for cooler weather.
