I really enjoy making "Moo's". If you don't know what a Moo is, it is half a business card that measures 28 x 70mm. I had to make 17 of these, all the same.
The main card is dark brown which has a red layer over it. The image is portion of a Crafty Individuals stamp stamped on beige card using Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate. I used one of the small cuttlebug embossing folders to emboss the red card with portion of a square frame. I sponged over the embossing with Tim Holz's fabulous foam blending tool with Brilliance Pearlescent chocolate. A little strip of lace and a flat backed pearl complete the card.
This is a Moo that I made for a swap of 21 Moo's last year. I used an old music sheet as a background and sprayed it with Glitz Spritz and mounted it onto the main black cardstock. The dancing couple is an unmounted red rubber stamp from Frantic stamper, stamped in Brilliance black onto lilac card and the edges are sponged with the same ink. To finish off I have used black polka dot ribbon and a small mulberry paper flower.
This is my contribution to a Moo - Sacred Heart swap that I participated in recently. We had to make 18 of them and as I did not have an appropriate rubber stamp for the main image I used a digital image. The background is made by swiping Adirondack Acrylic paint daubers cranberry and silver over the card stock and over stamping it with a clear stamp from Fiskars Romance clear stamp set and black Brilliance ink. The edges of the layers are also sponged with the same ink.
I was published in the Jan/Feb 2010 issue of Craftwise. Hayley hosted the Vintage Love Moo's swap and very kindly sent the Moo's in for publication. Seven of the sixteen Moo's appeared and mine is the landscape red and brown one in the bottom row.
