Mojo Monday

Hi All,
I had a short amount of time to "kill" yesterday before running over to the parents to continue the "cleaning" marathon! Boy you would think taking out a 22 foot full dumpster of "stuff" would make a "dent" but its truly just a start! Anyway I needed a little, more pleasant distraction, so I had gone on over to Mojo Monday Blogspot and they had a great sketch that I was very motivated by:

I am hoping to try a few new ideas with some of my extra "time" this Summer and one of them is to make a "card bouquet". I have been seeing them pop up on a few blogs and wanted to try my hand at it so I decided that this card will be my "jumping off" point:

I was really moved by the black portion of the sketch and decided to use that to add some extra "pop" to the card. I just love adding black as an accent color and it worked very nicely with the Wild Wasabi, at least I think so! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly Made Sketches #23

Morning All,
Quick post before I run off to work. I had gone on over to Freshly Made Sketches and Tui Nathan had designed a great sketch:

I have been trying to get my March Stamp Club cards done this week and was having a hard time with the layout of the third. I knew I wanted to go a bit outside my comfort zone and use some bright colors with one of the stamp sets that you can earn for free with Sale-a-bration (Language of Friendship). So using this great sketch here is what I came up with:

Here is what I used:

Stamps:           Language of Friendship

Cardstock:        Whisper White half sheet

                            Wild Wasabi 4 ¾ x 3 ¼

                            Beyond the Garden DP 4x4

                            Whisper White 2 ¼ x 1”

                            Beyond The Garden DP 2 ½ x 1 ¼”  

                                   

Ink:                  Black, Pacific Point, and Wild Wasabi

                       

Embellishments: Big Shot with Polka Dot Folder.

Punches:  2 Step Bird Punch and Boho Blossom Punch

I like how its different from my usual vintage, "softer" style. Always good to try to go outside of your comfort zone! Have a great day!
