Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger-Languish in Luxurious

Here's an Anniversary card I made with the inspiration from Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger.
The wallpaper in the photo reminded me of the "Textile" embossing folder from Cuttlebug and the flowers in the vase looked like an orchid to me. The brown 'ribbon' was made with card stock and punched with Martha Stewart's "Cornice" edge punch. The potted orchid stamp is from "See D's 262" pack of clear stamps, which I painted with Shimmerz paints. The flower looks orange in this photo, but it's sorta pinky. I added the ribbon tie cause these Dendrobium Orchids need to be tied or else they flop over :o)
Thank you for stopping by!

Mojo Monday #96 and House Mouse #47 White on White

Two challenges tonight! Mojo Monday and House Mouse White on White.
I liked the idea of the "panels" on Mojo's sketch and will definitely use this again~probably with a patterned paper next time. They have a fun Monday challenge to get your week going. I found the House Mouse Challenge site a couple of weeks ago and this is my first post there. I resisted these little critters for quite a while, but NOW I can't stop buying them~sooooo cute!!

You wouldn't think it was hard to create a white on white card, but for some reason I was wanting to add pink or orchid or green color mat under my stamped image :o) But, didn't do it and I really like the way this Anniversary card came out. What do you think?

Card: I used "Coffee" Archival Ink to stamp my image and water colored the House Mouse stamp called "I Give My Heart"
White card stock is embossed with Cuttlebug folders, "Divine Swirl" on the base card and "Swiss Dots" on the three panels.
Embellishments ~ "Jolee's Boutique" photo corners and "Bridal Elegance" white sheer /satin edges ribbon.

Rushing to get this posted~Yikes! Where does the weekend go?

Well, this is what I came up with for the two challenges. Here are my Card details ~

Card Stock: Ivory Embossed Note Card is from "Avery". Moss Green, Dark Red and Bright Pink are from ACMoore.
Stamp: Hibiscus flower is from "Inique Boutique" Always Tat clear stamp set.
Punch: Classic Butterfly by "Martha Stewart"
Ribbon: Moss green with cream polka dots from "Creative Accents.
Clear Lucite Love sticker from "Elements"; bright pink bling and lacy ribbon from my stash.

Have a great night (what's left of it) ~
Thanks, as always, for letting me know what you think :o)

Caardvarks - Trees a Crowd Challenge

I made this card for the Caardvarks Trees a Crowd Challenge. The sponsor this week is Taylored Expressions and they're giving away their new set called Branching Out, which I just love. I realized I didn't have a tree stamp... so I improvised a tad. The leaves (stamped three times) on my "tree" are from Big Lots $2.00 wood stamp bin, Stickles "Lime Green" glitter adds a little life to the leaves and the koala bear hanging off the tree branch is from See D's "Safari" clear stamp set.
Heart corner punch is EK Success. The ribbon and print paper and card stock are from AC Moore and the orchid mat is embossed with Cuttlebug's "Stylized Flowers". Really hope this qualifies for this great challenge ~ it was a fun card to create :^)
As always, thanks for stopping by, I so appreciate and enjoy reading your comments.

KWerner Color Inspiration #45

Just getting in on this fabulous Color Challenge at Kristine's ~ I love this combo, it is such a leap from my usual pastel colors and I must admit I was holding back the yellow, hot pink and red silk flowers from jumping onto this card. LOL
I originally had a different stamp in mind (more solid than outline flowers), but settled on this simple orchid in a pot from 'See D's 262 Clear Stamp Set'. This card is for an Anniversary coming up (hope Kathy's not checking out my BLOG today!) .
The greeting was printed on my computer and embossed Cuttlebug's 'Stylized Flower' on the front of the card, used my small EKSuccess corner rounder punch and the heart paperclip is from Michael's. Gingham ribbon is from American Crafts, purchased at Walmart.
Other than the white card stock, I was frantically routing through my supplies to find black ink (usually stamp with dark brown), gray papers were not in my stash either. I almost gave up on the gray, until my mail came today~ Kathy's gonna love this ~ there was an advertisement booklet with this perfect gray card stock that I recycled and use on my card :o)
Have a great weekendeveryone!
