Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger-Pahala Halter from Anthropologie

Haven't joined in the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger in weeks for some reason or another, but I have a few Hibiscus Flower stamps (which I love) and I really like Red, Black, White and Yellow together~ especially for masculine cards. This card is rather 'plain' for me, I kept trying to add different elements or layers :^P But in the end decided to go the Clean and Simple route.
You can click on the card for a more detailed image.

My Card~
Card Stock: White base card is Georgia Pacific; Red cards stock is from a DCWV Mat Stack
Stamp: Hibiscus from See D's 'Tropicals' clear stamps; HB sentiment is See D's also I think(?)
Ink: The flower and sentiment is stamped with Archival 'Jet Black' and the leaves are painted over with Shimmerz 'Green Olive' and 'Key Lime' ~ can you see the glittery sheen? I added a little more glitter with Stickles on the yellow stybus of my hibiscus ; I used a fine point marker pen to hand draw the black frame

I first stamped the flower onto the white card front, then stamped it onto red card stock and onto yellow. Cut out each of the flower parts and placed on top of each other with pop dots for dimension.

Moxie Fab - I want to ride my bicycle (2nd card) & Everything But The Kitchen Sink #17

Well, I enjoyed using my (found) bicycle stamp so much that I thought I would make a second card for two challenges. Everything But the Kitchen Sink has a fun sketch challenge from the talented Winter Sims ~ whose name you see EVERYWHERE in BlogLand lately :o)

I kinda turned the sketch on it's side and made my card a bit rectangle rather than square, but I think it' works ;o?

And, my second entry for Moxie Fab World's "Bicycle" challenge.

Go over and check out the fabulous entries, you still have time to join in on both challenges here

Moxie Fab - I want to ride my bicycle

Well, I've been gone from Blog-Land for a long while. Went to CA for 10 days on a "Space A" trip. We actually stayed in the LA area the whole time and ended up flying home from the same place...a bit unusual, to say the least!
Anywho, I missed you all and the fabulous challenges I was eying from afar..took my laptop to keep 'connected' with everyone :O)
Had to make a Congratulations card for a friend who graduated from an on-line course she took this week. Whoot whoot!
Thought this bicycle challenge may help me find my lost mojo~man, it's tough getting back after a couple of weeks, huh?

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your comments!

My card~
Stamp: bicycle by PSX
Ink: initially stamped the bike with Ranger brown ink and colored over each part with glitter gel pens. The yellow flowers in the basket are dotted with Stickles. The sentiment is computer generated.
Card stock: the base is bright orange from Keepsake's Paper Pak; the print flower paper is from the front of a note card; the brown butterfly paper is American Crafts and embossed with Swiss Dot from Cuttlebug. There is an orchid butterfly on top with a jewel from The Dollar Store
Embellishments: the button brad on the front tire of the bike is from Making Memories (I think); the banner is hand drawn and cut out and the gold string attaching it to the bike is from a package of chocolate candies (which I ate :-)
