2 Challenges - OLW36 and Silhouette Moo

I was blogging around and found out that the Make a moo or two challenge site is back up and running.  I love the idea of Moos.  If you've not heard of them, they are 1.25" x 2.75" sized cardstock.  You all know how much I love my inchies and scraplings.  Well here is another size option that is just fun to play with.

So, the latest Moo challenge is Silhouettes.  I set to work one morning this week before heading out to work to make these:

I ended up making 3 (usually it is a Moo or Two).  I did the 3rd because when I started I wasn't sure of where I wanted to place the trees so I was just playing around with a third placement. Turns out I love all 3.  I started sponging Antique Linen (Distress Ink, Ranger) over the entire moo, then stamped a piece of the tree images (from Through the Trees, Papertrey Ink) with Walnut Ink (Distress Ink, Ranger).  Then I used a piece of torn paper and sponged Spiced Marmalade (Distress Ink, Ranger) to make the sunset and sponged Walnut Stain around the edges. 

Then, I was blogging one other morning before work and saw that the One Layer Wednesday challenge (OLW 36) was to use naked trees.  Well, I knew sitting down on my craft table were 3 beautiful Moos that had naked trees on them!!  Took a few seconds to pull together this card.  Of course, it is not one layer so I am not actually putting it into the link.  I keep thinking of the OLW challenges as Clean and Simple!!  Sheesh, will I never remember LOL!!! 

I have an idea of what I want to do with all 3 images so I might make another moo and create the card I can see in my mind.  I'll post it here as soon as I get it done. 

Thanks for dropping by this weekend.  I hope you have time to be creative.
