One for the guys ...

Hey!

It's been a while since I made & shared a card made for a guy, so when I saw this weeks Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger I knew I had to make a 'guy' card! 

This is the Trigger Photo ...

I was totally inspired by the colours ...

I started off by stamping the Lattice background un Memento Rich Cocoa & then chose some Copic colours to match the inspiration photo & randomly coloured the Lattice. The clock face and sentiment are from Extra Time. 

I hope your all having a FAB weekend, thanks for stopping by!

Warning ... You May Need Sunglasses!

Hey!

I'm not kidding on this blog title! I WARN you, you might need to bring out the sunnies for view this card! 

When I saw this weeks Tuesday Trigger on Moxie Fab World my heart went pitter patter! I love Orla Kiely's pattern designs, I bought her book Pattern for myself as a Christmas present last year. 

Just look at this picture ...

Now, I admit that the colours in the photo are not ones I reach for for cards or projects often but I though why not I'll have a go. The Orange tin at the top of the pile really catches my eye so I used that section of the picture to inspire my card below ... 

Are you ready ...

Now, while I was constructing this card I was thinking to myself, I'm not overly happy with how this is turning out! But now I have finished it & photographed it the result is growing on me! LOL! It's a really simple LO & uses up some more of my hoarded brads which is a bonus! 

I'll be back tomorrow with a more subtle colour scheme & card to share! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

It's an inspiration thing ...

It's been a while since I had a go at a Tuesday Trigger over on Moxie Fab World, but this week I saw the inspiration photo & instantly I knew which Uniko Studio Time stamps I wanted to use & it came together in an instant! Can you guess which stamps I used??

Here is my card using the above photo as my inspiration ...

Did you guess right?! Yep, it's another one layer wonder! This 'TIME' I used masking & I double masked too! 

First of all I stamped the clock face in SU! Apricot Appeal onto the card base (note the colour link to the fruit in the photo)! I then masked this and stamped the large graphic flower in Hawaiian Shores ink over the top. As they are clear stamps I could line this up easily. 

I then took off the clock mask and then masked the graphic flower before stamping the clocking in card image using Memento London Fog ink. I used Memento ink as I knew I wanted to colour the clocking in card with Copics to match the colour of the grid paper in the inspiration photo. I did have to be careful with my Copic colouring as I neared the flower not to bleed the Hawaiian Shores ink. Then stamped the sentiment using Memento Black ink & I was done! 

A simple OL card which packs a punch! I enjoyed 2 step masking & will defo have a go at it again! 

Thats it from me today, but I'll be back tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by!
