I knew I wanted to find time to play along with this week's Moxie Fab Blog Tuesday Trigger, which is to be inspired by this fabulous card by Kimberly Crawford. Kimberly & her family recent relocated to my town of Cedar Rapids, so I'm excited to have another on-line creative soul nearby. Her work inspires and pushes me to expand my creativity.
I wanted to incorporate the yellow & kraft color combination and a big bow. I also used paper piercing and a border punch to incorporate a similar feel as the row of pearls.
I also wanted to incorporate the straight horizontal lines & this sketch from PageMaps fit the bill.
When looking for yellow designer papers in my collection, I found this wonderful little bird from Colorbok's Friendly Forest paper, that was printed on a yellow grid design. I loved how the blue popped with this color combination. I added a bow with my favorite May Arts ribbon and a sentiment from Hero Arts Thank You Messages with a touch of bling.
This card also works for Lucy's challenge to make a card inspired by another card you've seen.
Thanks for the inspiration … this card makes me smile.
PS ~ Can't wait to see what new is behind those Purple Curtains on the Prima Blog … check it out.
Beautiful card Stef – love the colours and mix of shapes and papers. Gorgeous.
i love both these cards. i dont know why i cant make such neat,clean and crisp cards… the lines itself makes the cards stand out.
Very pretty… I love the pop of blue you’ve pulled in. Great take on the sketch!
Hey Stef! What a fun approach to this week’s Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World! Thanks for playing along! 🙂
