So what is a Mini Moo? Over at Splitcoaststampers recently one of the CAS techniques was a card using a little scrapling - called a mini moo - it's a card that is 1.125" X 2.75" - half of a business card lengthwise. Great for scaps.
This was the challenge set by Maxine in our NZ swap group. I have tons of scraps of card, patterned papers and backgrounds I've made. So I had a look and came up with this CAS card.
My mini moo was a scrap of foiled and stenciled card. It was an experiment background I had made with an Altenew foil background. I over-stamped it with a Hero Arts stamp - Old French writing and then run a brown ink pad around the edges. I made my little floral element next. I took an Altenew mini stamp and die set - Adorable Anthurium. I stamped the image and used my Spectrum Noir tri-blends to colour before die cutting it out. Next was to make the panel. I used Gina K Master Layouts to cut the bigger panel and then used a smaller narrow die to emboss the centre panel. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set. Added the mini moo and then the floral image. A few sequins finished my card. The card was going to my friend, Suna, who lives around 15 kilometres (9 miles) from my place. I posted the card and it took 10 days to get to her! I would have been quicker to drive and drop it off!
I'm adding this card to Darnell's NBUS challenge. - First outing for my Altenew stamp and die set. Plus first time doing a mini moo card. And adding to "Less is More" - Anything Goes
We've had a lovely weekend away at our friend's in Mangawhai. First trip north this year due to our friend's having family living with them since January. The family were away for the weekend so their was room for us. Very relaxing weekend.
