Mellow Yellow with Moxie Fab World...

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

After having so much fun taking part in a Moxie Fab World 'Tuesday Trigger' challenge, I decided that I just had to give it another go! This week's Trigger was taken straight from the pages of the 'Stamp It Cards' magazine, a simple yet stunning card using the colour scheme of black, yellow and kraft...
Tuesday Trigger - Always Card by Kimberly Crawford, p. 79

Now, as my New Year's resolution is 'to try all things new', I decided to drag out my unopened box of water colour pencils and have a go at stamping and colouring (yes shock horror). I did managed to get a few strange looks from my husband who thought I'd reverted back to childhood with all the colouring LOL! I make no apologies because I had a wonderful time and have definitely found something that I will be trying again and again and again. I also used my brand new embossing folder which reminds me of my mother and all the smocking she used to do.

    This card is gorgeous. Mmmmm, that butterfly... And, yes, it is very reminiscent of smocking.
