Today, I am sharing a card I made for a very special member of the card making community. Last week, Cath Edvalson of Moxie Fab World fame announced that she was stepping down from her post as Trends Editor at Paper Crafts Magazine.
Under Cath's leadership, the Moxie Fab World blog has been a beacon of style for the paper crafting community. With her knowledge of and appreciation for design, Cath can spot a trend from 6 months away. Personally, I have learned so much about design, trends and style from Cath. She has been a tremendous driver of my growth and development during my creative journey. And the thing is, I am not alone in these feelings of appreciation. Cath's impact on the card making community has been profound and so the idea for this Moxie Fab Thanks blog hop was born.
You should have arrived here from the AMAZING Kryssi Ny's Mama Elephant Blog. If you happened upon this post and would like to pick up the hop from the beginning, please visit the Moxie Fab World blog.
When I sat down to design my card, I tried to create a card worthy of everything Cath has taught me, and came up with this...
I die cut triangles (lots and lots of triangles) from two shades of green cardstock and gold cardstock. I adhered the triangles to a panel of light aqua cardstock, popping some of the gold triangles up with foam tape for interest.
The sentiment is from Paper Smooches, Many Thanks set. I stamped it on a strip of white cardstock, added a couple of black enamel dots and adhered it to the panel. I matted the completed panel on black cardstock and adhered it to a white cardstock base.
Although Cath may no longer be writing posts for Moxie Fab World, she continues to inspire. For a project worthy of Cath, I turned to Cath's Pinterest's board for design inspiration. This card was inspired by this moxie fab pin from the All That Glitters is Gold board.
