Moxie Fab Challenge Week 2 & 3


The second challenge this week on the Moxie Fab World blog is to make a card with a window. I don't do this very often so I loved the challenge.
Here is the link, if you want to play along too


I colored the Floral blossom cling from Hero Arts (CG434) first with distress markers, quite randomly and sprayed it with water before I stamped it onto a piece of cardstock and cut it out. I already had this window card which was in a Christmas pack (very cheap from the Aldi :)). I then stamped the Hello/Thinking of you sentiment on the inside, with onyx black versafine ink. I stamped with the card closed so that I knew it was in the middle. Then I glued the backside of the flower, just where it needed to adhere to the cardstock, so that the card remains nice on the inside as well. Added two little pearl embellishments and the card is ready.



The third challenge this week on the Moxie Fab World blog is to make your own background paper. This I do do quite a lot. I chose the SPRING sentiment from hero Arts to do it with stamping six times.

I stamped a piece of card stock with the SPRING stamp from Hero Arts, six times to make my own background. Then I used a flower cling which had been inked up randomly with distress inks and sprayed with water and stamped right in the middle.When dry, I then gold-embossed a fern over the top.  I added the flower, a button and thought it needed a sentiment. I decided on Merci beaucoup and because it wouldn't fit horizontally, I stamped it vertically.As I need quite a few thank you cards, I often go for this stamp!

Looking forward to tomorrow's challenge!

  11. Jacqueline, I love the creativity you exhibit in your cards. I have a little favor to ask of you. Would you mind putting a little more detail in the description of how the card was made? You have such an artful way of executing your designs and I would love to be able to use some of your techniques. Thank you for all the inspiration you provide.
