I am playing along with the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger. I loved the inspiration photo. The colors and the grid pattern kept playing in my head.
If you could see how many little color combinations that I tried and threw out you would LAUGH!! I finally had to tell myself enough already - focusing on one color is OK!! Though I believe I may be an expert on die cutting this particular set! Wink!!
I cut off 1/2" on the front panel so you can see the grid that I stamped in Going Grey from SU. I even stamped the grid on the envelope front and an envelope liner. Just write over the grid with a black marker and you are set to go.
I also had stamped everything in a purple scheme. I thought I would be able to mix the two together but didn't like it so one color it stayed. This was also a time when I wanted a less than perfect grid image.
Hope you have plans for a wonderful week! We are supposed to get to 84° today then back to the 50's. Going to enjoy it while I can. ~Rhonda

ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards. Love the first one with the border of tulips. I think I might need to get this set.
ReplyDeleteAny tulips up at your house yet Carol? You do need this set. :)
DeleteGreat cards Rhonda. I am wishing I would have bought folk art.
ReplyDeleteI bought the set last month and then forgot to get the dies. Thankful they weren't sold out. You would love it.
DeleteI appreciate you visiting Joyce!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Rhonda - you must have better eyes than me. Yours line up so nicely! The blues I used were the HA Pool and Stone Wash to match the colours of the TT photo.
ReplyDeleteI think my eyes are still crossed Cecilia. Thanks for the blue suggestions.
DeleteAwesome cards ... I really love how you incorporated the grid pattern in the purple one ... it really draws your eye into the design.
ReplyDeleteHi Smilyn Stef! Thanks for stopping by. The purple card was fun to create.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards and like everyone is saying the pairing of the folk art flowers with the grid is fabulous...great take on the Trigger!
ReplyDeleteHi Shay, Thanks for your kind words. :)
DeleteRhonda, your cards are wonderful. Know what you mean about die cutting till arm aches! But in your case, worth every Motrin! Hawaiian Shores came closest in color, funny I had the same inky challenge.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the grid with Folk Art stamps is brilliant!
Hey Nancy, What did we do without die machines? I'm looking around for some different inks. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteSo pretty!! Love the grid stamp...cool look!
ReplyDeleteHi Kara, I love when you stop by! Have a great weekend.
DeleteGorgeous cards Rhonda! I really love the way you used just parts of the grid stamp on your purple card!
ReplyDeleteMiss T, Loved your card! Hope you are doing well.
DeleteHey Rhonda! Thanks for linking this up to this week's Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Cath, This was a fun one. Thanks for visiting.
