Mojo Muse



I've used Mojo Monday 300 sketch as a base for my card and taken my inspiration for the colours & textures on my card from the Muse Card Club Challenge #24, Monday Muse: Laurie Willison.






Laurie's colour scheme: green, black and beige/kraft. I scoured my digi papers until I found just the right tones to reflect the Muse card. I inked my stamps simultaneously with black & brown inks and distressed my papers with Antique Linen & Walnut Stain.

Laurie's textures: buttons, thread, woodgrain. I combined two of these by using a button with a woodgrain appearance. I've used my thread is au naturel and died with the brown & black inks.

Laurie's sentiment: hello. My sentiment is in the same vein: thinking of you.

Happy Valentine's!



I really wanted the heart to be the focus of this card, so I coloured my heart thief from Mo Manning in shades of grey & kept my cardstock to layers of white on white with some Stickles for glitter & Glossy Accents for shine. 



Top Tip:
If your piece of cardstock is larger than your embossing folder, choose a pattern that you can easily match up & re-emboss with a pokey tool from behind.

Challenges:
Crafts4Eternity R#110: Be My Valentine
Sentimental Sunday Challenge #141: Love is in the air
Simon Says Stamp: White on White
Top Tip Tuesday Challenge: Let Me Call You Sweetheart





Hope you've had a lovely day & see you soon.

July 2012 Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Party



This is my first blog party with Waltzingmouse Stamps. The theme is 'The Great Outdoors'. I immediately thought of star gazing on a clear Summer's night & I ended up very far outdoors indeed! Outside the atmosphere rocketing through space. I used the sketch on the blog page only to realise it was last weeks, oops. 


My background paper was inspired by Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger. The lines going in different directions, the colours & the triangle shapes like my fours. I think the colours have an Olympic Parrot feel as well, which ties in with Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe Challenge. I've also added sparkle to my rocket's exhaust plume, Stickles to the rocket's lights & glittery silver gel pen to accent the rocket's antenna & trim.



Hope you enjoy all the inspiration as you hop to the beat of the Waltzingmouse Blog Party :)

Happy Birthday Peggy!






The Stampalot Challenge Blog has posed the question, 'What's your crafty passion?' and my card has a little bit of everything I love about cardmaking: fussy cutting, heat embossing, glossy accents, distress inks, promarkers & die cutting. Oh and of course stamping! I really loved using my new stamps from Waltzingmouse Stamps and I followed their sketch challenge #106.
Going Buggy's Challenge this month focuses on weather and what could be more appropriate than clouds, as that's mostly what I see whenever I look out the window this Summer.
Passion for Promarker are advocating the use of gingham and I found a lovely digital paper in just the right colour created by Bev Rochester.
Crafts4Eternity have a recipe for you to take your colours from the olympic parrot. I've chosen to focus on blue and this ties in nicely with the DYSU challenge which wants you to play with cool colours, so I picked cool blues for Peggy's card.
