Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger: Man-tastic!

This is the current Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World blog :




I recently won a retired Stampin' Up hostess set called Apple Blossoms at a workshop and one of the images reminded me of the shapes in the trigger:



I used some Hero Arts shadow inks (soft pool, wet cement and pool) and Memento Lady Bug ink to stamp the leafy branch.  Sentiment is from Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler.  All edges were distressed with Ranger pumice stone distress ink.
Other Materials Used:  Stampin' Up soft suede, confetti cream cs and soft suede marker, Papertrey ink pure poppy cs, Nestie  

I've got to give some props to my hubby as he thought the original "prototype" for my card was too flat so I changed it to include the partial die cut for the sentiment:)  My poor hubby has been at loose ends as he recently tore the bicep tendon in his left arm *ouch* and just had surgery to repair it yesterday morning.  All of the hobbies he loves to do - golfing, fishing, hunting and kayaking - are off the table for the rest of the summer :(  I think I can expect a lot more "help" in the months to come with my cardmaking *giggle* as he begins the slow process of regaining the strength in his arm:)

Hope your weekend's a good one!

Hi, Robin! That stamp is definitely made for this challenge - and your hubby was right about having something popped up. I think he needs his own space to create along with you while he is recuperating!! Good luck in the TT challenge.
