Moxie Fab TT- A Pin Therein




 As soon as I saw this trigger, I knew I wanted to use my favourite
My Mind's Eye paper. The pin cushion looks good enough to eat!


I decided to set the image off to the side to make the design asymmetrical and I'm not sure if this also meets the conditions of the movement challenge, but I put the tiny
sentiment at the top.
The doillie is a nestability die, the tulle flower is from Kaisercraft and the pins are from my Mum's sewing stash. The little resin flowers are ear rings!
I'm happy with the way this worked out - hope you like it.

On a roll!

This is my 3rd post and card for the day! I'm struggling from asthma and sinus
problems at the moment, so I'm staying inside to avoid the wind.
Luckily I'm well enough to be making cards and it's a good distraction too!

So this is another sketch card for Hero Arts. I bought this stamp a few weeks ago
and hadn't used it yet. I think it is going to be a favourite - very versatile!




































The card and gems are from Kaisercraft. I've used
colourbox ink on the background stamp and then
brushed it with perfect pearls. The Happy Birthday is
also stamped with colour box and then clear embossed.
The flower is made with a die-namics die and I've
used an old pearl.

Just a fun one!

I decided to make another quick card for the Simon Says Stamp and show, so I
didn't waste any ink. I used the same sketch from Hero Arts.

I had a bit of fun with this using the masking method. The girl image
is from Art Stamps America and the Eiffel Tower and merci stamps
are from Hero Arts.


Hero Arts sketch and Simon Says Stamp & Show

Today I have made a card for the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge,
which is to use the Tim Holtz summer trio distress inks.
Luckily I have these - they are amazingly vibrant colours.

I decided to use a Hero arts sketch.








You may not be able to see from the photo, but I die cut the centre of this image and raised it
with foam to try to make it pop. The image and sentiment stamps are from Hero Arts
and the canvas flower on the right is from Prima.
I have used watercolour inks and some liquid pearls to colour the image.

Playdate Cafe #146 - Colour splash - Lime

 Here is a quick post as the deadline is looming!
I couldn't miss out on my favourite colour combo
at the Playdate Cafe - B & W with a splash of colour.
This week it is lime - isn't such a fresh colour?

I have used some DP from Kaisercraft, from the Chapter
One paper pad. It is so beautiful - the green is foiled, which
is stunning, but not too easy to photograph.
The sentiment and frame stamps are from Hero Arts and
the die cut butterfly is from Memory Box.

The 2 photos hopefully give you an idea of the colour.
Here is one of my pups, trying to get in the action.

Moxie Fab World - TT Autumn Awaits

I'm in a creative mood today, so I've made another card for the Autumn Awaits TT






















Spring is definitely in the air in our neck of the woods, but in some ways Autumn
and Spring are alike with the softness of the sun. Spring brings hope of
warmer days ahead and Autumn brings relief from the heat of Summer.
Both seasons are lovely in our garden.

I've used Chrissy Tomlinson and Junkitz  paper and some very old stamps for a bit
of paper piecing. The leaves are from Kaisercraft and have been inked with distress ink.
The sentiment is from Stampin up.

Moxie Fab World - Minty Fresh

Here is another creation for the MFW - Minty Fresh
challenge.
I decided to use some  stash to make a Christmas wall hanging
for the minty fresh challenge. I used chocolate brown as the background
colour because I love this combination (especially in ice-cream!).
























I'm not sure where I got this wooden Christmas tree - from a $2 shop I think.
I used paint and glitter. The background paper is from Kaisercraft and
I have mounted it on part of a wooden mini album, which I painted white
 and added more glitter.
