Journey

I am sharing a card created for the Memory Box Blog Blitz that continues this week until Friday. There are fun prizes on Outside the Box as well as beautiful projects using the new 2011 release.

This card uses beautiful paper from the new Brioche 6 x 6 pad. Love this paper as it blends a pretty reddish orange to creamy yellow. The images are all stamped using Versafine Vintage sepia and layered to create a collage.

Stamps: Memory Box  - G1733 Journey Collage, D1723 Eiffel Tower, E1711 Circle Word Background, Circle, G1720 Birch Branch Print

Papers: Memory Box Brioche, Red Pepper Card, Truffles Soiree 8 1/2" x 11"


Have a lovely day!

What's in the Box 2011 - Memory Box

I love the new Memory Box Orchid Branch Print stamp and wanted to showcase the flowers using a blue and brown color combination. I was inspired by some beautiful china that Kathy shared on her blog here.  Love the touch of color in the china and the soft sheen. I decided to try to emulate that with the Orchid Print. I did a version with cracked finish but it didn't turn out the way I wanted. So I might try that again later. :)

Here is what I created using the orchids.

For the next two weeks on Outside the Box you get to see the new What's in The Box Release 2011.  There are also prizes and great inspiration to be found.

The products used on this card are Brioche, French Toast, C1714 Cocoa Bean Butterfly, G1718 Orchid Branch Print, So Sweet, G1732 Hope Collage.

Hope you are having a wonderful week.

Moxie Fab World - Gray is the New Black Challenge

Cath's latest Moxie Fab challenge is Gray is the New Black. The softness of the gray and using it as a neutral in place of black always changes the look of the card.  This Moxie Fab challenge inspired this card and me to create this:

I couldn't resist using the pink with the gray as I love those colors together.  

This card features all new Memory Box stamps from the What's In the Box 2011 release. For the next two weeks the Memory Box Design team is going to share projects using the new What's in the Box release  with a blog blitz over at the Outside the Box Blog. I used on my card a beautiful new stamp called Orchid Branch Print G1718 and Cocoa Bean Butterfly C1714. The sentiment  is Memory Box B1359 Very Best.

Everything is stamped using Versafine Smokey Gray and the edges were sponged with Memento London Fog. The coloring  is done with my watercolor pencils and waterbrush. Everything was accented with the white gel pen. 

I am off  to cut some card kits for my class today.  I hope you have a lovely day!
