Ombre at Moxie Fab


I made this card a while ago to send to my Blogging friend Sylvie to thank her for the give-away I won on her blog. I also had the Moxie Fab challenge in mind (forgive me, Sylvie), when I made this card. But the fact that the package came from Gibraltar and me being away in Texas delayed the mailing of this card and we are almost at the end of this challenge.... Sylvie - don't look......




I used the Impression Obsession background stamp - Gradation, sponged it with various greens. The sentiment is the Memory Box thanks die, the butterflies are a Tim Holtz die.

Gorgeous ombre card, Cornelia! I love the greens.

Thank you ever so much for your sweet comment on my blog. I never enter a challenge with the idea that I will actually win anything, because there are so many great cardmakers out there. I just like to play with their ideas and themes. So, it was a total surprise, although a delightful one to get an HM.

Hallo Cornelia!

Ersteinmal ganz, ganz vielen lieben Dank für diese vielen lieben Kommentare auf meinem Blog!!
Ich habe mich sehr darüber gefreut, dass Du Dir so ausführlich Zeit dafür genommen hast :-)

Dieses Kärchen hier ist einfach nur wunder-wunderschön!
Ich liebe diesen Farbverlauf, den Du da gezaubert hast, dazu die Schmetterlinge wie sie schwerelos davonfliegen... Ein Traum!
Ausserdem ist der Effekt mit diesem Hintergrundstempel echt erstaunlich!

Viele liebe Grüße :-)
