Peggy's Picnic Party

In my last card inspired by the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger the tangerine shone through, in this card I wanted the green to take centre stage. I love this Hero Arts/Sizzix Medallion Embossing Folder and the Hero Arts Orange Soda and Butter Bar Inks. I swiped the ink cube carefully on the embossed surface, cut, stamped and coloured the other elements and 'pop dots' my finished card!

Bundle of Joy

I've based my colour scheme on the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger & used the Lawnscaping Challenge #61 Sketch. I've mirrored the ric rac ribbon with my chevrons in orange, yellow & green. There's a slight ombre/rainbow effect as I left some orange ink when I stamped the yellow, cleaned the stamp for yellow, left some yellow to stamp with the green and finally stamped with the green. I love the black wrap on the embroidery thread so had to include a deep black frame for my image plus some kraft card to hold everything together like in the trigger picture.

Fun, fun, fun with lots of dimension, fussy cutting and masking tape diecut clouds. Sequins are used as a highlight on the bundle of joy, for wheels on the pram and as flowers with black enamel dot centres.

There are 7 layers of card, 8 if you include the sequins on top!

Instead of the banner in the sketch, I've had a go at a washi ruffle. There is a lot going on in this card, so I love the see-through lightness of the washi as compared to a solid banner.

10 Minute Craft Dash

This is a quick CAS card & post! This is my first time trying anything like this. I created in less than 10 minutes for the CAS-Friday 10min Craft Dash & if I'd pre-applied the stamps to the block it would have been even quicker. I choose my colour scheme based on Moxi Fab World Tuesday Trigger, lots of white space with golds & blue. The sentiment is from Hero Arts & the snowflakes are Hero Arts, Kars and Papermania. This is the first inking of my snowflakes.

Rocking on New Year's Eve!

A rocking card for a new baby. When I saw the gingham seat in the Tuesday Trigger Photo, I had my colour scheme, even if my burgundy is a little redder. I've kept this card very simple with just four colours, some stickles, glossy accents and iridescent stars.

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 :)
