Moxie Fab World - Tuesday Trigger -It's Completely Collagical

I love the inspiration photo for this week's Tuesday Trigger, it reminds me of the stamps I used to collect when I was a child.

I had lots of fun making this! I've used a variety of designer paper from Basic Gray and Kaisercraft,
3 scraps of lace, 2 pieces of spritzed canvas, a doilie , inked flowers and a button. I added some glory accents to the butterfly for a bit of shine.

Moxie Fab World - Trendy Triangles - My last Digi Attempt!

I had another play around with the Stampin Up digi program today and made card for the Trendy Triangles challenge. I'm incredibly frustrated that what I see on my computer is not what prints out, so I won't bother to use it again. I don't know if it's my computer ( I have a fairly good Canon), but I'm obviously doing something wrong! I was happy with my design though, so I'll show you the card and the digital image.

And this is the digital image

Ok, so now Im off to play with real ink and paper!!!!

More Homework

I'm getting lot's done today! I'm not sure how other people create, but I I often get stuck and put 1/2 finished work in to a 'work in progress' box and then move on to something else. Sometimes I come back to it, but sometimes I lose inspiration and it goes in to a stash box of incompleted work.

Well. this happened to me a lot of the last 3 weeks of Summer Card Camp, because I had so many ideas going through my head. This time however, I'm determined to complete as many cards as I can from my 'work in progress' box!!!

So, after all that rambling, here is my next card...

I have incorporated a few more ideas and techniques from the class in this card. I embossed the branch and birds as demonstrated by Jennifer in week 3. I've used the colours of week 2 and I've used embossed acetate inside a window like Kristina.

Moxie Fab World - Trendy Triangles

This is my 1st card for the MFW Trendy Triangle challenge - I'm hoping to have time to make more.
I got the idea of stitching the triangles from Maille Belles gorgeous card and I thought I'd create my own version. Maille used a die to get the shape, but I just sketched mine, so it looks more random.

The background was coloured with gelatos and roughly smoothed out with my favourite tool - my finger! I used oil sketch paper to give it texture.
I used the colours from Summer Card Camp week 1.

Summer Card Camp Catch Up

Happy Monday (in Australia)!

Sadly Summer Card Camp is drawing to a close and I'm busy today trying to complete all the
unfinished projects that I have been working on for my homework! Now I definitely know where my daughter gets it from, leaving everything to the last minute!

Here is the 1st card...

I used the 1st  colour combo from Week 1 Day 5, but substituted copper for the orange. The background was based on Shari Carroll's card using water colour effect. I used gelatos and then dry brushed the copper lumber paint on when it was dry. The centre of the butterfly was heat embossed 3 times like Jennifer's technique in week . I also used Marion's technique of die-cutting the  butterfly from the background and then placing the white die-cut butterfly in to background paper.

Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger time!

I decided to take a bit of a break from Summer Card Camp and make a couple of cards for MFW Tuesday Trigger and Case Study Challenge.

So this 1st card is my second attempt at making a digital card. Like the last card, I used the Stampin up MDS and it is very easy to use, but I'm disappointed at how the colours translate from screen to paper.
I'm not sure if it's my printer or the program.

I added the wash and diamante hearts, but the rest is digital.

My second card is another entry for the MFW Tuesday Trigger.

I had a bit of fun with this one. I randomly brushed some paint across some canvas paper and then when it was dry, die-cut the dragonflies using my brand new Penny Black die. I recieved a parcel of goodies yesterday from PB and Jill Foster and I'm having lots of fun playing with them - you should check them out - there are some fantastic designs. I coloured the base card with gelatos which is so quick and easy. I then decided to try some freeform sewing - it's by no means perfect, but not too bad.
The sentiment is from Kikki K. i added some glitter, sequins and pearls for a bit of bling - and voila!

More Summer Card Camp

Here's another card for the Summer Card Camp Week 3 Day 2. I've used the first card sketch and the colours of the week, which incidentally I'm enjoying!

The phone image is a freebie from a magazine, stamped and paper pieced using Authentique paper.
The lace border  stamp is from Kaisercraft and I used various Distress markers. The sentiment is from Hot off the Press.
Hope you like it!
