For today’s projects I am channeling every ounce of Moxiness and every stitch of Fabulousness I have in me!
Moxie Fab always has the greatest challenges, and I have finally decided to throw my hat (or better yet – my cards!) in the ring!
First up, is my entry into the In My Beautiful Balloon challenge.
I just love the hot air balloon trend in papercrafting – and I especially love the vintage look that can be achieved with hot air balloon images. My style is not so vintagey though – so I wanted to give a modern look to this air balloon card.
I used my Papertrey Ink Take Three die, which has been sadly neglected for far too long. I think it was pretty excited to get a little attention. I layered the card with purple vellum and I love the soft look it gives – almost suggesting a purple sky behind the air balloons!
How fun are those die cut balloons?!!? I just love the colors and the clean lines of the card!
Now for my entries for Moxie Fab’s Trigger Tuesday.
How beautiful is this inspiration image?
In the spirit of giving a modern look to vintage inspired images – I decided to do just that with this inspiration!
I love the combination of orange and teal – it’s probably one of my favorites.
This first card puts a modern spin on the color combination – with a little chocolate brown thrown into the mix. I also used clear cardstock – a look which I jut love. The entire front of the card in completely clear, with an “inner card” adding a pop of teal to the project.
My second Tuesday Trigger project uses the same color combination and a similar layout – but, of course with a modern spin. I added some grey for an interesting neutral.
The floral shapes from PTI’s Sending You set provided a great modern shape to replace the beautiful doily shapes from the original inspiration image!
So, how’s that for a Moxie Fab start to your Tuesday! I hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love!
