Moxie Fab World: Languish in Luxurious Challenge

This week’s Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World is totally turquoise (or teal)…whatever you call it, it’s terrific!

Here’s my take:

I was inspired by the color combination and the simple elegance of the trigger photo.

After much deliberation and over-thinking, I went a simple route and came up with this card. I stamped a background with a damask stamp from Impress, embossed a strip of matching cardstock, added some paper flowers with opal gem centers, and stamped a sentiment from the SU “Occasional Quotes” set.

and Take 2:

I made the first card in this post late Wednesday night, and didn’t upload it before I went to bed. After I posted it, it looked similar to the one above mine, so I came up with a second take on the challenge.

Honestly, I don’t look at the other entries in a challenge before I make my card, because I don’t want to be overly influenced by another person’s idea…and it bothers me when that happens anyway. Oh well…

Anyway, thanks SO MUCH for stopping by to look at my cards!
