KCRR & Mojo Monday: A Father's Day Card

Before I jump into our new KCRR challenge this week, I must share an honourable mention I received for one of my cards last week!

Last week I played along with the Muse Challenge (click here for the original post)...

Moving on to KCRR...

Mocha Morning DSP

Baked Brown Sugar

Needle Point Embossing Folder

The random picks lately seem to work so well together! And this is no exception. One of the new in-colours, Baked Brown Sugar, matches quite well with the retired Mocha Morning designer paper. And it's simple enough to add the texture with the needle point embossing folder! I followed a sketch by Mojo Monday and decided to make a masculine card. With Father's Day down the road (ok, maybe quite a ways down the road), why not start early?

Mocha Morning DSP may not be my favourite, but some of the designs work quite well for a masculine greeting card.

 

 

 

This is probably one of the most clean and simple cards I've made! I really like how it turned out!

 

Make sure to hop on over to Karly's Creations to see how she used these three elements in her card, and come back tomorrow for a new inspirational photo challenge!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friday!

It's almost the start of a long weekend here in B.C. (Family Day on Monday)!  We plan on traveling from one cold place to another to visit with family and enjoy a fun weekend at the West Edmonton mall! This has been one place I have always wanted to go to! Waterpark, TONS of shopping... what's not to like?

But before we start the weekend, we must introduce a new inspirational photo challenge!

It was Karly's pick this week and she chose a photo of beautiful home décor:

IB #34

I wanted to tie this in with another card challenge and came across the Muse Challenge. I love the design in the Muse card this week - lots of layers and different patterns!

I picked out the following colours from the photo: Baja Breeze, Early Espresso and Whisper White and came up with this design:

 

Baja Breeze is still one of my favourite blues, but since it's retired, I'm sadly running out... :( I love how it combines so well with Early Espresso, as in the photo. The detailed designer paper, delicate doily and embossed elegant lines make for a pretty birthday card, I think!

 

 

 



Thanks for stopping by! I will be back next week with a fun folded card made for my nephew, a true hockey fan!

 

In the meantime, hop on over to Karly's Creations to see how this photo inspired her!
