Moxie Fab – Stamp It Challenge!

As a few of my much loved blogging chums are so talented that they have projects published in the latest edition of Stamp It! magazine I thought I would rustle something up to enter their stamping challenge –Stamp It! Cards Week Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. This isn’t really the kind of style I usually produce but I love how it turned out.  It’s for my SiL who just turned (can you guess?)…30!

The products are all from Papertrey Ink apart from the punch I used for the wee butterflies.  The background from Damask Designs is stamped in Sweet Blush and the sentiments are from Big Birthday Wishes.  I also managed to get a wee swirl in there on the tag from Fancy Flourishes!

Thanks for popping by,
Hugs,

MIM – Reverse Masking.

Hey folks.  Having a go at this weeks Make It Monday challenge over on Nichole Heady’s blog.  This week it’s reverse masking (which seems a bit like stencilling to me but hey ho!!).  I die cut the middle sized star from the Stars die set and used it to mask an outline into which I stamped one of the paint-splattery-type stamps from Grunge Me in Pure Poppy, Hawaiian Shores and Summer Sunrise.  I also blended a bit round the edge with the blender tool thingy (don’t you just love my grasp of the english language today!!)

Oh, and although she’s just a tad over 6 it’s also Aimes‘ birthday today so have a great day hunny pie – hope to see you soon.

A Passion for Papertrey Challenge – It’s Elementary.

We have a new challenge starting today over on the A Passion for Papertrey Blog.  The theme is “the elements” so we’re looking for something inspired by EARTH, AIR, FIRE or WATER.  Papertrey Ink have loads of stamps and dies that would fit this theme perfectly.  I chose a more “subtle” interpretation by using the word “rock”!!

Card recipe {You Rock}:
Stamps: Boy Basics: Rock On; Grunge Me, Fillable Frames#4.
Ink: Smokey Shadow, Pure Poppy, Versamark.
Cardstock: Smokey Shadow, Stampers select white.
Other: Saddle Stich ribbon, FF#4 die, Guitar die, staples.

Hope you get a chance to hop on over the blog and check it out.  Remember, you only need to use 1 PTI product to enter and you could win a yummy prize of a PTI stamp set!!!
