Cherry Mojo

Today's card is for the Mojo Monday challenge (MOJO147) and uses the Tart & Tangy and Pocket Silhouettes stamp sets by Stampin' Up! I decided to use the cherry stamp in the set since I had some cherry-themed, double-sided background paper from Creative Imaginations.

I altered the sketch just a bit by centering a stamped square over the squares in the sketch. My background squares were cut at 1-1/2", the stamped cherries were cut out with a 1-3/8" square punch and layered onto a piece of red card stock. The half circles were cut with my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities circle dies. Thanks for stopping by today and visiting! Have a great day!!

For You

Today's card uses the Mojo Monday sketch (MOJO144) found here. For this card, I used the Close As A Memory and Happy Everything stamp sets by Stampin' Up! The floral image was colored with markers, lightly misted with water to create a watercolor effect and stamped onto the card stock.

Here is the sketch:

This was a quick, easy layout -- the most difficult part was the ruffled ribbon (more time consuming than difficult)!! Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day!!

QKR Monday Meets Mojo Monday

The Mojo Monday sketch (MOJO140) came across my computer and I decided to play with that today, along with some of my QKR Stampede stamps since it is QKR Monday. This card uses the Train (#19207) and To My Dad (#11805) stamps and would make a great Father's Day, Birthday, or simple Thinking of You card for anyone's Dad.

Here is the sketch:

This card was fairly easy to put together . . . just had to figure out a few measurements and--voila--it's done!

Girlfriends - Mojo Monday

I have decided to try to incorporate more challenges in my card projects--be it sketch, technique, or color. It should--should--make it easier to assemble a card, because the basic design has already been done. Today's card is based on the Mojo Monday 139 sketch and uses the Girlfriends stamp by QKR Stampede. Aren't these little rag dolls the cutest??? If you haven't yet checked out the images at QKR Stampede, be sure to do so . . . there are many other rag doll images that are just as sweet! I chose the background paper and thought the squares in it would play off the quilt blocks rather well . . . that is, until I added my mat layer per the sketch. Here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

The stamped image was colored in with Prisma watercolor pencils and blended with a blender pen. Thanks for stopping by and having a look! Have a GREAT day!!
