Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - Pretty Little Petits Fours

In some of my recent posts I've talked about my 'new approach' to card making. I'm making one-of-a-kind cards (no more multiples) and making it not only about the results but about the process... taking the time to enjoy the trial and error that creating involves. There's a dirty little secret that any honest professional designer will admit, even after many years of designing and formal training it's still a process and while you get much better at knowing what will or won't work without having to physically try it sometimes you make a mess and yes sometimes you even start over completely.

One of my goals if my 'new approach' is to participate in more of the myriad of wonderful creative challenges all over the internet. I check out many of these on a regular basis and one of my favorites is the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger. When this challenge was extended I took it as a sign that this card that had been gestating in my head for a couple weeks was meant to be born. :)

 Pretty Little Petits Fours

This card is a 5" Square and does not meet the guidelines for OWH, but I wanted to not only echo the pink flowers and wood grain in the photo I wanted to incorporate the square shape of the petit fours themselves so I decided to let my muse dictate the design and I'll be using this as a personal card.

Die Cut Flowers -Silhouette Store • Wood Grain Embossing Folder - Paper Studio
Sentiment - Papertrey Ink Signature Greetings • Ink from My Favorite Things (Kraft)

I'm still trying to figure out how to organize my crafting time on the weekend in a way that will let me join in on more challenges. It will definitely take some planning ahead but I think it will be well worth the effort and creatively fulfilling too.

Happy Crafting!
