Moxie Fab Challenge (attempt number one)

I love looking at all the inspiration on the Moxie Fab blog. I've only played along with one challenge, and it was a vintage one too. This challenge uses Anne Taintor inspired sass. It's where you take a vintage image and add an expression that is cheeky and sassy and in some cases a little raunchy.



I went to a garage sale a while back. Actually an estate sale and they had tons of old sheet music and antiques and these vintage pin up girl playing cards. I totally snagged up the deck and some sheet music. I thought the playing cards would be perfect for this challenge, but coming up with a sassy little message...I was fresh out. So I stole an appropriate one from Anne Taintor site. Not really sure if that qualifies me for the challenge, so I think this card will just be for fun.



Although I really think this might end up being a birthday card for my BFF since she is contemplating getting a 'tramp stamp' as she calls it. And worse yet she wants me to get one with her! Not gonna happen my friend!



The cards were actually from a meat packing company in Houston...I guess for advertisement. I couldn't make that up if I tried...

Paper: Pattern from K and Co. Vanilla cream cs (CTMH)

Ink: black (CTMH)

Stamps: Tiny Typewriter (CTMH)

Other: flowers, card (garage sales) ribbon (HobbyLobby)

Moxie Fab Vintage

I've never entered one of the Moxie Fab contests before but I couldn't pass this one up since I am so hung up on vintage right now!!





I really struggled to do this card. I wanted it to be so perfect. I started with the postage stamp paper, then the brown rusched ribbon. Then I went straight to my stash of ivory estate sale buttons. The Colonial White embossed paper was an idea I had that I was so proud of...although I'm sure someone has thought of it before me! I love the effect! I used the damask embossing plate through the Cuttlebug, then I used my bonding memories glue on the raised area and then hit it with the Prisma Glitter! In person it looks so neat, y'all!!
