I’m finally over my rejection of not having my projects picked up for publication last week – of course, eating those three cookies helped A LOT!! LOL
I’ve been meaning to sit down and create for the current Moxie Fab World challenges. The one I decided to tackle today is the Beautiful Borders Challenge. You all know how much I love cityscapes. There’s something about them that just makes me happy. I combined my love of gradient with my love of cityscapes for this challenge. I was inspired by THIS card that I created for another Moxie Fab Challenge – I’m telling you that EVERY craft room should not be without the EK Success Plaid Border Punch!! Using three different shades of grey cardstock, I punched the edges of each color with the plaid border punch, and trimmed the strips to create city buildings. I then adhered each layer, one color in front of the other, using dimensional tape. The clouds were created using a brand spankin’ new Clouds Border Die that I just picked up from Taylored Expressions and some linen vellum. Isn’t it dreamy?!! The graphic sentiment is from Think Big Favorites #4 by Papertrey Ink.I’m super happy with how this turned out – if you’re inspired by this challenge, I believe there’s still a little bit of time left for you to play along, too! You will find all the details of the challenge HERE.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I’ll be back again tomorrow to share another reject with you – I’ve got a few left! LOL Have a great day!
