Sharp Designs

Awhile ago I borrowed a bunch of stamps from my mom by Waltzingmouse Stamps just to play around with and get my creative juices flowing.  Sometimes all I need is a new product in my hand and then my mojo is going again. It works, but is dangerous to my bank account... :)  I used Off Beat Backgrounds in multiple colours for my base, layered it on black and then adhered it all to a white card base.  My sentiment came from Papertrey Ink's Movers & Shakers Sentiments. 

I'm forgoing InLinkz today because of laziness and will just list supplies at the end of this post.

My brother is graduating from college this week, so I created this masculine graduation card for him.  I'm SO proud of him and his accomplishments; he's a pretty fantastic brother! He studied Horticulture at the University of Guelph- Ridgetown campus for 2 years and is such a smarty pants. :) Proud sister alert!

I'm having fun playing around in a few challenges lately; something I don't take the time to do very often, but when I do, I have so much fun! The Moxie Fab challenges are always so fun to enter because Cath just makes everything so FUN!  I just noticed I used the word FUN 4 times already...oh well. :) Isn't that what a crafty hobby should be all about? :) 

 

So for official purposes, this card is entered in the Doilies & Lace Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. All products are listed below, except for the little scrap of pink lace ribbon that I had in my stash from a long time ago.  I wish I would have left it off now as it seems a little 'too' pink, but all in all, a sweet card. 

A little group of spring themed tags ready to stick on any gift, or to give as a gift themselves! I die cut the tags, ran them through my die cut machine with the impression plate, stamped the image and sentiment, added the punched butterfly, and then a crystal as a finishing touch.  Cream twine was the last touch! The cute little sentiments come from an older Hero Arts clear stamp set.
