Moxie Fab

There are some great sketch challenges over at Moxie Fab World this week:  http://www.moxiefabworld.com/

The shaped sketch:

I used Tami Mayberry's set Live Life Loud by Gina K Designs.  Cut out the plain and scalloped circles with Nesties.  The guitar was stamped with VersaMark on GKD Pure Luxury Passionate Pink and embossed with silver ep then cut out.  Card base is GKD lime.  Used my label maker for the sentiment. 

Next, I tried the Horizontal Sketch Challenge:

I used Melanie Muenchinger's set Gifts from the Sea and Tag You're It by GKD.  Stamped the squares with Memento Rich Cocoa on GKD PL Ivory and used a 1 1/4" punch to punch them out.  Next the shell, starfish and coral were stamped inside the squares.  The large shell was cut out and all were layered onto GKD PL Little Boy Blue and Chocolate Brown and placed on the Soft Sand card base  Sentiment from GKD Spring Mix was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa.  The images were all colored with Prismacolor markers.


Thanks for stopping by!

A Couple of Sketch Challenges

I needed a card for my oldest grandson who is going to start 2nd grade this year and chose CPS Sketch #231 found here:  http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/2011/08/cps-231-part-1.html

I used Melanie Muenchinger's set Back to School by Gina K Designs.  I've had the label maker for quite some time and hardly ever use it, but liked the look of the labels on this.

Next is the Mojo Monday sketch for this week

I used the set by Theresa Momber - Heartfelt by Gina K Design.  Stamped the flowers and colored with Prismacolor markers, then used a VersaMark pen over the image and heat embossed with clear ep.  Next stamped the fence and colored with Prismacolor markers.  The image panel looked too stark, so I stamped over it with Timeless Textures also by Gina K.

Monochromatic Thank You

I really like the clean and simple layout of the sketch challenge at Card Patterns this week:  http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2011/07/sketch-125.html

This also fits the Mix It Up Monday Challenge at Stamp TV to  create a monochromatic card.  http://stamptv.ning.com/forum/topics/mix-it-up-monday  And the Moxie Fab Fanatical About Botanical challenge  http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/07/next-moxie-fab-world-challenge.html

I chose various shades of peach, all by SU.  The rose is from Gina K A Year of Flowers designed by Melanie Muenchinger, one of my favorite sets.  The rose is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os in Creamsicle and Copper on Blush Blossom cs.  The scalloped edge was cut with a Nestabilities die and the ribbon is from my stash.  The sentiment is stamped in Memento Potter's Clay and is from the Gina K set Spring Mix.
