MOJO 240

NOthing gets Mondays going like a wonderful MOJO Monday sketch. I always love to try to find something fun and new to do with some of my Verve stamps. I guess this is an adventure in patterns. The papers are mostly Basic Grey design paper. I'm not sure of the source of the cardstock.

I love checking over at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog every Saturday that I'm home. This Saturday was one of those rare Saturdays I was at home. Love the design team over there, good stamping friends, and talented ladies!!! Wish I had these strawberries in a garden at my house, but sure am enjoying all the fresh strawberries that are out in the stores now. This stamp is from Flourishes. I added some Spellbinder diecuts just to dress them up a bit. I stamped them with tuxedo black ink and colored the image with copics.

Belli Challenge 142

This is a quick and easy card for the Belli Challenge. I've had this little stamp for a long time and not sure I've ever used it. The ribbon was from my stash too.

A four layered Mother's Day card

I am enjoying this new stamp from Flourishes that arrived just in time for Mother's Day cards.

I sure am enjoying my Becca's Bowmaker too. This ribbon that I can't remember where I got it, worked fabulously with these colors. I stamped the background of the melon mambo paper with tuxedo black ink using the lacy background stamp from Flourishes. Many people have mistaken it for design paper. It is just that lovely and stamps so perfectly. I used melon mambo ink for the lacy circle frame and added the small circle with the silhouette into the center of it.

This is for the following challenges:

Just Add Ink - Mother's Day card

Stampin' for the Weekend - 4 layers

Friday Sketch Challenge #16

I visited the Friday Sketch Challenge blog today, and loved this sketch:

I used some certainly celery cardstock, some Basic Grey design paper, and a Martha Stewart punch.

I added some little primas and ribbon. The sentiment is from Mark's Finest Papers.

I love finding new challenges to take part in because I never seem to lack any mojo when I have a starting point for my inspiration. Thanks all of you great gals out in blog land that do all the work of putting these great challenges together every week. You take so much of the work out of it for me. XOXO

For this week's Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday challenge, we were to use a butterfly. These little butterflies I used are a Creative Memories mini punch that is one of my favorite punches. I also used some of my newest spellbinder shapes and border to this card as well. The cherry blossom stamp is of course, from Flourishes. I always try to support the company whose challenge it is by using one of their stamps. The background cardstock is SU always artichoke. The white pieces are from my scrap pile.
I used some sparkle gel pen for the centers of the blossoms. The little sparkle doesn't show up in the photo so much, but I liked what it seem to add to the card.

Word Art Wednesday #26

I used this week's scripture over at Word Art Wednesday's Blog for my card today. I stamped over the computer generated scripture in rich cocoa ink using this bird image from Stampabilities. I also stamped the background onto the kraft cardstock using tuxedo black ink. The lace background stamp is from Flourishes. I used my Spellbinders for the diecut shapes and added a little black bow that I made with my Becca Bow maker. Love it! I mounted these all onto a black cardstock base.
