is it fab...or is it moxie?

it's moxie fab world!!! a rather fab (well, duh!) site belonging to papercrafts magazine that's pretty much crammed full of inspiration. at the moment they're having a citrus-y color challenge which lasts until midnight, june 1st. i haven't done very many color themed projects...though i am completely inspired on a regular basis by the cards made for the kristina werner challenge, amongst others. i don't tend to use very much yellow, either. so it seemed like this would be a CHALLENGE in the true sense of the word. count me in!

first the inspiration:

and here's my card:

(lemon image cut from a magazine; india paper: the paper company; patterned paper: my mind's eye; cardstock: staples; florals: heidi swapp; inks: colorbox; adhesives: uhu gluestick; 3m foam tape; karen foster brad (unseen, but holding all the flowers together); other: vintage buttons, paternayan persian needlepoint yarn)


my finished card didn't turn out *exactly* like i envisaged, but i had a lot of fun drawing and pasting and cutting and sewing! plus, it meets the challenge...and it's kind of growing on me... (hey--it's a sunflower--they grow ANYWHERE, right?) ...so i'm gonna call this operation a (modest) success.

    I think it is Moxie Fab for sure ... where do you find your needle point yard? Do you punch holes first and then stitch? Love the effect.
