Tuesday....

I made 3 versions of this card and I didn't like it. 

I had tried to add snow to it and it just looked like a hot mess. 

This panel was discarded because of the partially inked image in the background 

and I used it to test colors for the final card.

After not being happy with my other attempts, 

I grabbed this one and matted it and slapped it on the card base. 

I loved it.

Oh my, I love it when things happy that way!

I used:

Paper: Basic Black CS, More Mustard CS, Cajun Craze CS, Whisper White CS

Stamps: Lovely as a Tree

Ink: StazOn Black, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, So Saffron

Other: Dimensionals

Mojo Monday #227

It has been awhile since I did a Mojo sketch. Monday's have been too hectic as of late.

I found myself almost caught up this week so I thought I would play.

I had been preparing to use the new simply scrappin kit from the Occasions Mini catalog when costco dropped the ball. Their printer broke and I made the 40 mile (one way) drive to pick up my $5 order of pictures. D'Oh!

Since I still don't have the printed pictures I thought about this cute bunny stamp and how they would just be perfect together.

I love that sentiment.

I do enjoy punny stamps. :-)

Friday...

I made two simple cards for today. I haven't used this DSP much. I am surprised because when I first saw it, I thought I would use it all the time. I think I might have an aversion to pink. Not really, but I can't figure out why I don't reach for this paper more. I made my self do two versions of this simple and versatile card. 

You may see more like it in the coming weeks.

I do like to have these cards on hand.

I used:

Paper: Very Vanilla CS, Soft Suede CS, Blushing Bride CS, Beau Chateau DSP

Stamps: Perfectly Penned

Ink: Soft Suede

Other: Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Soft Suede Taffeta Ribbon, Big Shot, Glue Dots

Happy Friday Everyone!

Thursday....

This was a CASE from Carrie Gaskin. Her skills make me crazy. I wish I had an ounce of the talent she has. Lucky for me, she shares what she does with us. On the original card the elements were smaller and more compact. I went with something larger because I am getting older and my eyes like something bigger. LOL!

I think it still works because the proportions are the same.

I love this card with it's unexpected color combinations and it's quirky elements.

Love it!
