Tonight after cleaning and taking Maddie back to the vet, I sat down to participate in the latest Moxie Fab Challenge: Gradient Is Radiant. To be honest at first I was a little stumped, but once I thought about paint it was all down hill from there.
I started with my wood grain stamp and some white and purple paint. I used my paint tray to mix my shades, and painted them on my stamp.
And here's everything pulled together:
After I got it completely finished I decided it needed something else. So I took some diamond Stickes and added them to some of the lines in the wood grain. It looks pretty cool in person!
Stamps: Halloween Tags (PTI)
Paper: Black (SU), White, Spring Moss (PTI)
Ink: Black (Momento), Green Chalk (Technique Tuesday)
Ribbon: Black Satin (PTI), Twine (May Arts)
Punch: Upper Crest (Fiskars)
Also, just a quick update on Maddie. Remember this card I made earlier this week?
Well, on Thursday I got a call from Chase and it went something like this:
Chase: You know that circle card you made last night.
Me: Yea.
Chase: Well, Maddie really loved that card.
Me: Really? (still confused)
Chase: Yep, I found it outside the bonus room. She ate it.
Truly, Maddie really does not chew... except crafts. I'm wondering if it was the glue... but check it out now.
A dog after my own heart. :)

Oh dear! I remember one time my cat was licking a piece of cardstock once. I figured out it had some technique used on it that was sweetened condensed milk. That explained it!
First of all, soooooo impressed that you have such a CRAFTY dog! Hee Hee Sometimes our work just NEEDS a lil' tweaking! Hee Hee
I mean, "Arf! Arf!"

Hey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! {A lil' bird told me!} Have a beautiful day, sweetie!
Love your gradient card--fun idea! Sorry about your card, I have to be sure to close up my craft room so my kids don't go in and tear the place up, sounds like you may have to do the same!
LOVE your boo card! Too funny about your card, you are taking it well, I'm pretty possessive about my cards and I am sure that would send me over the top! (of course that being said, we have puppy as well - but I didn't want to get one; but one look at her cuteness and all would be forgiven!)
Happy Birthday! :) Great idea to use paint! I love the colors! I guess your dog thought it looked so good she could eat it! :)
AWWWWWwww, it was meant to be. She is truly your dog. (sorry about the loss of the card---- I lost many a pair of shoes when I first got George)
Happy birthday and gorgeous gradient card!!
Happy Birthday Courtney!! Hope your day is filled with happy surprises. Silly Maddie, I loved that card - apparently she did too!!
Oh gosh, Courtney! That's really funny!!! Thanks for the laugh, but sorry about the card! ;o)
It's your birthday? Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEETIE!!! I hope it's the very BEST!!!!
Brilliant idea on your gradient card! The woodgrain stamp is awesome and the card turned out perfect!!!! ♥♥ Kay
Hi Courtney! Thanks for entering the challenge! :)
that little stinker :) I think she's telling you that there should be more Maddie time & less crafting time - uh oh!!
love the woodgrain for Halloween - looks fabulous! and I'm in awe that you broke out the paint...i'm such the lazy bones - if it's not in near reach, I rarely pull it out.
