mojo Monday 149

Hi there! It has been a couple weeks since I have been able to finish my mojo samples. Both times I had the cards started but something unexpectedly came up and I could not finish it in time. After a very late night, I was able to complete this week's sketch. Below is the sketch and my sample.





This cute party hat Cocoa image from Sweet N Sassy stamps is currently available as a digital image but will be released in August as a clear stamp set. Cocoa was colored with copics and the top of the hat was accented with a clear spica glitter pen. I sponged around ink the image while it was still in the die.



Supplies:
stamps- Sweet N Sassy stamps Birthday Cocoa
Paper- SU dp, doodlebug dp, green galore, Neenah white
accessories- copics, rhinestones, spica glitter pen, square nesties, sewing machine


We would love to have you play along with this week's sketch with us. For some more inspiration and info on this week's sketch please visit the mojo Monday blog.

Hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for visiting my blog today!

Clean and Simple Poppies

Hi everyone! How is your summer going? My girls and I have been busy but enjoying spending time at the pool and at soccer. I won't have as much time for crafting most likely until school starts so I have a fairly simple card to show you today.



I stamped my flowers from the Poppies and Greetings set onto Paper Temptress blanc sparkle. I colored them with copics, added stickles to the centers, and sponged blue ink around the image. I matted my poppies with white and attached to my card base. To accent my pretty poppies I scored a double frame on the base. I finished off by tying a knot at the with satin edged organdy ribbon.



Supplies:
stamps- Sweet N Sassy stamps Poppies and Greetings
paper- Paper Temptress sparkle blanc
accessories- copics, stickles, scor-pal, ribbon


Thank you for stopping by today- many blessings to you!!

mojo Monday 146- contest week

It's mojo Monday contest week. Up to 7 Verve stamp sets will be given away to the participants whose entries are judged to be the most mojo-licious. Below are the sample and my sketch for this week





My card today features a brand new stamp set that was released by Sweet N Sassy stamps today. It is called Serene Silhouettes and I absolutely LOVE it!!! It has 4 main silhouette images and quite a few birds and butterfly accessory stamps. I stamped one of the images with dark chocolate ink onto very vanilla cardstock and sponged moss ink around it while it was still in the nestabilities die. I accented the scallops with white pearls and the corners with brown pearls.

Supplies:
stamps- Sweet N Sassy stamps Serene Silhouettes
paper- very vanilla, PTI dark chocolate and dp
accessories- oval nestabilities, white and brown pearls, ticket corner punch
