So Awesome

Today, I’m playing along with the Moxie Fab World Challenge: Metal, Wood & Cork. I thought to myself  “metal, wood and cork? what in the world will I create?” I ended up creating a super simple card that I love — from the texture of the paper to the shiny metal clip, the faux cork tape and the wood heart.  This card makes a great masculine card.  I think I’ll save it for the husband:

Just Be Yourself

Today I’m playing along with the latest CASE Study Challenge.  Check out the beautiful inspiration photo:

There is so much inspiration from this photo, however, the red and turquoise/teal (?) is what caught my eye and inspired me to create this simple one layer card:

I love, love the clear and white sequins — a great way of embellishing a card, without taking away from the main design.  Thanks so much and stopping by and I hope you enjoy your weekend! xo- Tyra

Hello…

Today, I’m delighted to play along with the Sketchbook Saturday Challenge from the oh so very talented Iwona Palamountain:

With this card:

circle_hello

A literal take on the original.  I used various markers to color the hello sentiment as well as the panel mounted behind the rows of circles.  I love this color as it reminds me of tropical water.  Thank you so much for stopping by! xo- Tyra

Floating Sparkly Color

Today I’m playing along with the latest CASE Study challenge, featuring a beautiful card by Jennifer McGuire:

Umm, yeah, the inspiration card is a beauty!

I created this card:

floating_flower_card

When I saw the inspiration card, I saw floating sparkly color.  So, I die cut a flower and placed sequins behind and on top of the flower, creating a floating, effect (I hope).   I love sequins and I could load up this flower with a ton more, however, I think less is more.  I wish you could touch this flower card as I like the texture the die cut and sequins create.  Thanks so much for stopping by! Take care, xo- Tyra

Banner Birthday..In a dash!

I am playing along for the first time with the 10 Minute Craft Dash featuring a birthday theme:

I am also playing along with the Birthday Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.  Please stop by both wonderful blogs and play along!

This is what I created:

banner_birthday_card

I used patterned paper and a small star punch to decorate the card.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday’s Banner Up. Set.  The sentiment was actually a source of inspiration for the little banners.  I tried to create balance using three stamped stars, punched stars and the negative punched stars on the blue banner.
