Working 9 to 5

Welcome!

Week 2 of the challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad where we have to showcase an occupation.

The Business Woman is doing her bit in the office this week. She is wearing her silver-gray office suit but added some fun colour with her accessories. I put her on an aqua panel that matches her shoes and a silver layer gives some more contrast. The background collage was created with pictures of all kinds of electronic devices from the office, cut from an advertising booklet. It creates an office feel, I think. What a quick & fun way to create a card that suits the recipient. 

I hope that you are inspired to join this fun challenge.

Mucha Orange

Welcome!

It's a new week and time for a new challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.

Our challenge this week is all about the colour Orange.

We also have a generous sponsor, Lunagirl, whose collage sheets are just fabulous.

It is sometimes so much fun to work with a coloured image, especially when making a 3-D project.
That is exactly what I did with the Mucha girl image.

Once I started cutting, I actually realised how much detail there is to this wonderful image. I can see so many possibilities!

I added an uncut picture to 2 layers of orange shades of cardstock. I cut the head out of the second layer and just the 'cap' part out of the 3rd layer. Glossy accents and some Jelly roll add some sparkle to the image. 2 rhinestones on a sparkly panel anchors the image on the card.

Here is my card:

And here are a few close-ups:

And a different angle:

I hope my project has inspired you to try something different and use the colour orange. Do not forget to join the challenge!

And do stop by at our sponsor!
