You Light Up My World

It's Moodboard Week at Just Us Girls #824 and I am the hostess with this moodboard. There are bright colors, shapes, elements that can be indoors or outdoors, or all/some/one thing to take for your card. Whatever you decide! Be sure to tell us what inspired you and how you used it on your card. The team has a variety of fun ideas for you so be sure to visit their blogs to read how they were inspired as well. Our guest Kerry Parkinson also has something special for you, so go to her blog and read all about it! I went with the obvious furniture and art on the wall. I love these dies and wanted to get them out again. It's been a while.













What I used:
  • My Favorite Things Take a Seat dies, Couch Potato stamp set
  • Concord & 9th Basket Weave Card Front die, Mini ink pads
  • Rangers Distress Oxide ink pads
  • Gold paper
  • Cardstock scraps
  • Martha Stewart score board

In order to CASE the moodboard, I die cut the chair and accessories first, then glued them together. I die cut the floor after running the basket weave die though the Big Shot. I die cut the frame for the wall art, then scored it every 1/8" to get an embossed pattern. Four different pieces of "art" were made and scrutinized...and this final one made the cut. I added gold paper for a glimmer look. The art is popped up on foam tape over its frame. The chair is also popped up. Last, I stamped the sentiment I chose to go with the idea of art brightening up a room. I fussy cut it and adhered it to the card front.

Can't wait to see your takes on the moodboard in the gallery! Thanks for stopping by.
