Feeling Blue?

I combined Cath's fabulous Cure for the Winter Blues Challenge in the Moxie Fab World with the current doodling challenge on the Kuretake blog and made this;

I used Crate Paper Random Denim, 7 Gypsies Lille, Ruby Rock-it Vintedge and Sassafras Lass Sweetly Smitten papers, as well as a striped, doodled paper drawn with a Kuretake Wink of Stella Black pen, Ribbon Girl ribbon, leaf and rose, Kesi'art paper flower with added doodled dots, mini peg from stash, Kesi'art heart die, Spellbinders square and postage stamp dies, sentiment traced and doodled with blue and black Wink of Stella, hand stitching and inking.

Moxiefab Dad card

Dad as an avid collector of Penguin books so inspired by this and also this Rainbow Bright Tuesday Trigger from Moxiefab World;



I made this;



I was lucky enough to be sent a sample of Safmat from Letraset and this is how I made the rub on clock face - Safmat is brilliant as it is almost invisible once burnished onto a card and as it is clear, any white on the printed image vanishes leaving the background visible.

Supplies;

Cardstock - Bazzill; Patterned Paper - 7 Gypsies; Penguin books image - Flickr by Hey Mr Glen;
Rub ons - 7 Gypsies; Ribbon - The Ribbon Girl; Seam binding - The Ribbon Girl; Safmat - Letraset;
Ink - Clearsnap; Letter Stickers - American Crafts; Gems - Papermania;
Font - Gracie; Thread - DMC; Other- Clock image from t'internet.

One in a Million

2-0 :)

Today's card is brought to you with the letters B and Q or more precisely, a wallpaper sample from B and Q!



I used the wallpaper as a background and added flowers from Hobbycraft and Abakhan, Nestability circles, Ribbon Girl scrummy lace around the circles, stick pin and seam binding coloured with promarkers, a postage stamp and a Melissa Frances rub on.

This is another card created for the fab challenge 'Cityscapes Are On the Rise Challenge in the Moxie Fab World'

and found this cool prequel on the interweb this weekend;

The Book Club

The wonderful Kathy chose our dare this week at Daring Cardmakers;

This week it's me (Kathy) setting the dare and I'm inviting you along to
The Book Club
I'd simply like you to take your inspiration from Books - and you can do this any way you wish.
You could make a card in the form of a book, make a background using a page (or scanned page) from a book, use an excerpt from a book on your card as a background or focal piece, or use an actual story/title/book to inspire your card.
If you choose to use a specific book for your inspiration, don't forget to let us know which it was.

I chose the book background option and teamed it with the gorgeous citrus shades of the current Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World;



and made this;



I used;

A vintage receipt book image from the Graphics Fairy mixed with roses from Victorian Vignettes
MME Stella and Rose Hazel "Special" Fine Floret paper
A Hero Arts Digi Butterfly
Tissue Paper
Foam Flower from Hobbycraft
XCut Mavis border die
Nestability Die
Basic Grey rub on
Twine from The Ribbon Girl
Inking
Hand Stitching

My DCM Teamies have made fantastic book inspired cards - you can check them out Here.
