Hello | Gradient Challenge
Wow, It's been such a long time since I posted anything. I'm just in time for the Gradient challenge over at MoxieFabWorld. Cath has extended the deadline until October 12, so you've all got just a wee while longer. There's lots of great work up so do check it out.
Okay, I wanted to keep this card clean and simple and I was thinking about using geometric shapes or tiles for stepping out the colour change when I came across these Alpha blocks by Katie Pertiet over at Designer Digitals. They looked just like my doodle and were ready to go. So, I spelt out "Hello" to create a sentiment and graphic in one - yeah!
Next, I selected a colour change of yellow to a burnt orange, which I think sits nicely with Autumn as well as for spring here in OZ. I made a gradual change in the shade of paper (Jesse Edwards) of each block to make the gradient. And then cut and popped them up with foam pads. Finally I added some Frangipani inspired flowers (an altered K Petiert graphic), buttons, French knots and lifted the corners to add a little dimension.
Enjoy!
"Hello" Supplies:
Paper: DCWV Glitter Stack, Derwent Art Paper, Jesse Edwards Colour Challenge Digital Papers
Stamps: Block Alpha & Web Chellenge Kit 8-9-09 by K Pertiet @ Designer Digitals
Adhesive: 3D Adhesive Foam Stickies by Paper Craft

Moxie Fab: Household # 2
Hi guys,
Thanks for the comments on my light bulb entry - very kind.
I wanted to have another go at the Moxie Fab challenge and my hubby came up with the idea of a Hoover (Vacuum Cleaner as you guys say) with the slogan "Life Without You Sucks".
I couldn’t find a suitable stamp or image so I had to crank up the laptop and design my own. I made the Hoover into a brush and then repeated the stamp whilst reducing the size. The font used for the sentiment is Cooper Std. I stretched to look like it was being sucked into the Hoover. Enjoy!
Thanks for a great challenge Cath - I wonder what’s this week!

Moxie Fab Challenge: Household
Another great challenge over at Moxie Fab. For this challenge you need to create a paper crafted project that incorporates some kind of household item as its focal point. Cath has included lots of inspiration so check out the link above.
Okay, getting hold of a "household" stamp has been pretty impossible around here. So, I decided to opt for the old pen and paper and make my own doodle instead.
The light bulb and sentiment was drawn onto watercolour - I really love the bumpy texture. Then I popped them up with foam stickies and added some faux stitching to the DCWV paper. Voila!
Supplies
Paper: DCWV Glitter Stack, Watercolour Paper
Ink: Artline 210 medium 0.6 in Black, UniBall Signo Broad in Silver
Deadline: Wednesday 21 September
Draw: Friday 23 Septmeber
Extra: Upload to World Card Making Day
Good Luck Everyone!
