It is a super fun color scheme this week at ColourQ cQc #211, and I made a card inspired by this card I saw over at the Mama Elephant stampede.
I paper pieced this cute little fox, using a sheet from the Limeade Ice pattern pack. I used solid Limeade Ice paper covered with Prisma Glitter for his face and the tip of his tail. Since the glitter covered his eyes, I put them back on using Ranger Black Enamel Accents.
I made a matching envelope just for fun, lined with the same paper at the bottom of the card.
My next card is for this week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger. I was inspired by the chevrons and the colors. I selected just a few colors to work with on my card, because it was too busy otherwise. I cut a Pieced Chevron die cut from Smokey Shadow card stock. I adhered that to a base of SU Basic Grey. Then, I randomly filled in spaces with Scarlet Jewel, Summer Sunrise and Aqua Mist. I stamped my tag three times and cut and popped the different layers, to make my focal point.
