Moxie Chic

I made this for this week's Tuesday Trigger which is Moxie Chic! I drew my inspiration from the colors and replicated the ruffles with my May Arts wrinkled ribbon which I gathered up and then added the touch of pink ribbon from SU! over top. My frame is from Layers of Color, Rose Blossom Frame cling art stamp, designed for the Spellbinder's Label 16. (Layers of Color is a Spellbinders Preferred company) I matted it with black like the hat. The sentiment is from Gina K, Lovely Labels, one of Nina Bracketts wonderful sets. The embossing folder is Cuttlebug. I colored the rose blossoms with my Copics. The cs is SU! and the white is Gina K.

I am submitting this to the following challenges:
Freshly Brewed - show off your style
Crafty Cardmakers (3 entries) - dry embossing
Critter Sketch - texture
Little Paper Shop - die cuts
Paper Sundaes (3 entries) - punches, ribbon, embossing, blue (at least 2 of these)
Paper Players - cherry cobbler, always artichoke and a neutral
Daring Cardmakers - poppies or vibrant red
Fairy Tale (2 weeks) - anything goes
AiFactory (2 weeks) - die cut or punch
Cute Card Thursday - anything goes
Sassy Studio Designs - anything goes


Thanks for looking and have a blessed week!

Moxie Fab Languish in Luxury Tues. Trigger

Hello everyone! Today I'm just playing around with the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge. I don't always take inspiration challenges to such a literal interpretation but this time I just had to try.
"Languish in Luxury Trigger"
So I used this digi chair image of Nina Brackett's from Squigglfly. The sentiment also is in this set as well as pillows and several different patterns for the chair! How cool is that! I also used a digi image for the orchid that I got from A Passion for Stamps. Then I went about trying to capture the feel of this "Languish in Luxury" trigger photo. I of course was in love with the colors! Capturing the feel of the wallpaper was easy with this Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby designer paper. I printed the chair out on BasicGrey Periphery to give it some pattern and interest, since I didn't have anything with the sheen of the inspiration chair. The floor was done with Bazzill Bling, which IRL has a sheen to it. I scored it across once for the base board and then "tiled" the rest for the floor, though I'm not sure the photo shows that. The table is made by hand drawing and cutting the cube from Papertrey Dark Chocolate CS and then rubbing SU! Craft white ink pad over it for the streaks and reflections, then I shadowed with a Stazon Saddle Brown Ink pad. I scored the angles of the table with my Score Buddy and then heat embossed with UTEE to get the shine. The orchid was printed twice so I could pop up some of the flowers. I colored with Copics and cut off the bottom of the vase to make the little candy dish, then heat embossed them with UTEE as well. I printed the pillow off twice to get the color of the chair but to get the flowers and cording on white paper, then colored with Copics, cut out and added to the blue pillow. I loved this sentiment from Nina's set so I framed it and hung it on the wall. This was purely for fun and it was fun challenging myself to find ways to use what I had to achieve the look of the photo. So what do you think... did I capture the essence of the trigger?

I am entering this into the following challenges:
Pollycraft - Anything Goes
For Fun - Something I've never used before (either digi, the dp, made my own cube)
Little Red Wagon - Something Old and Something New (almost all new but Bazzill Bling is old)
Create for Fun - Use a Digi
Elephantastic - Anything Goes
Fab & Funky - Use a Digi
Crafty Ann's- Use a Digi and your favorite Coloring Medium (copics)
Craftaliscious - Anything Goes


Hope you have a wonderful weekend! See you on Sunday with another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge!
