Challenge Card

So I'm working on pushing myself to get better. I know I have a long way to go before I can come up with some of the really neat stuff I know is in my lil' brain somewhere. So practice, practice, practice!

Here's a card for two challenges, the Moxie Fab Trigger Tuesday and the Card Patterns challenge #106.






I really like this layout, the colors were a little more tricky. I wanted to put a lot more color into this but I really did want to see if I could stick to the colors in the inspiration photo and challenge myself to work with what was there. What I did take from the inspiration photo was the simplicity, the understated-ness (is that a word?) of it.



The layout was something different. I think I will use it again and I already have some new ideas on what I want to do to add to it.

I'm waiting for a multipurpose platform for my Big Shot before I can use all the dies I just got in the mail. This is papercrafters' torture - having a bunch of fun stuff you want to use but have one missing (and critical) piece. Do you know what's worse? I ordered it two weeks ago! Let's all cross our fingers and hope it comes in the mail tomorrow (if you're reading this, you're either a friend or love papercrafting so please, cross with me!).

See you!
Holly

  1. My fingers & toes are crossed...it's agonizing waiting for stuff to come in the mail :)
    If understated-ness is not a word, it should be. I say we keep it. I will try to use it this week too, and we should get it to catch on! lol
    Love your beautiful, simple, elegant card :)
