Clean & Graphic or Fun & Cute

This week Cath at Moxi Fab World is hosting card style week to celebrate the publication of the new special issue from Paper Crafts magazine, Card Style. I have not been feeling the creative spark, but last night Dawn at Wplus9 Studio posted her submission for Clean & Graphic, and I was inspired. Thanks for the jump start, Dawn! 

After I finished my Clean & Graphic card, I decided it also worked for Fun & Cute. How cute are those whales? I debated where to submit and ultimately picked Clean & Graphic. Here is why, 

1. A lot of white space. 

2. A simple design and elements. 

3. A quick and easy message.

Why don't you try your hand and submit for the challenges. Pushing past a creative block or out of your ocmfort zone is always a good thing. For instance, I did not distress a single item on this card. Lately, my Ranger distressing tool has been glued to my hand. Literally after the diamond glaze spill last night, but that is another story. So this forced me to put it down and step away from the Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

Short and sweet today, or should I say Clean & Graphic?

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest creation. I'd love to hear from you so leave a comment or ask a question. 

Happy Day!

Inside the Owl and LWID

Happy Wednesday!

I had a few questions about the inside of the last card. Yes, I did have the inside stamped and completed. Pretty proud of finishing the "whole" card. I even trimmed the owl out so I could cover the evidence of Copic coloring. Speaking of Copics, Dawn at WPlus9 Design Studio, just like me, is still trying to master the Copic. Check out her new stamp set and the adorable pram she colored for her first round of sneak peeks for this months stamp release.  Super cute baby images. Did you see that amazing flower, too? Can't wait to see the rest...

Now, LOOK WHAT I DID... I won this great set of stamps from My Cute Stamps. Holly had a contest for Earth Day and my comment was selected. Yippie for me! I took the picture next to my Making Maroon Green sticker. What that means is I am a on a committee here at work that is trying to make the school more "Green" Every little effort counts! I look forward to cracking the seal on these stamps and making some wonderful cards. So, I shared my LOOK WHAT I DID, now it is your turn. 

Here's how you do it:

• Upload your LWID to your blog, click on your blog post title, copy the URL, and add it to Inlinkz below or upload your project to this flickr gallery, copy the URL for the flickr page and put that in the Inlinkz.
