Cheery Mojo300

The other day I posted that sometimes I take a long time to make cards. Well, this one fought me for two and a half hours, even after I gave up and decided to use a Mojo sketch.

I paired the July stamp of the month (shown on another tab), Sweet Life with Chantilly papers...and the resulting card might have been worth the wait :)
It's pretty sweet :)

I dry embossed the Ruby background then layered Chantilly papers on top of whisper card stock. The ruby and cotton candy die cut circles were made on my Cricut using the Artiste cartridge. I actually cut those last Wednesday, as shown on the WOYWW#213 post. 

It's been so quiet because I took a card break due to the 4th of July holiday. We watched my husband's great grandson who is 11 months old, spent some time with some friends and saw my sister and her family. 

So it was a very good holiday, ending on a fun, crafting evening!

Here's the MOJO300 Sketch for reference:


Thanks for stopping by!

MOJO300 is Peachy

Today's Mojo sketch has so many elements - a circle, square, 2 pennants, an embellishment, and a background layer. 

I didn't really think outside the box, but I had fun!

I used CTMH Slate cardstock as the card base while the background layer is Avonlea Green, and added a layer of Avonlea patterned paper.

The pennant is in Avonlea Off White and a dry-embossing folder to add texture. The circle is 2-1/4, from another Avonlea pattern in the paper pack.

Sweet Life - July SOTM

 This design showcases one of the stamps in the July Stamp of the Month, Sweet Life! I heat-embossed it with Detailed Black embossing powder and used watercolor pencils to add color. I also dabbed the branch with Antique Linen Distress Ink, then layered it on Avonlea Green. 

The sentiment is in the For a Friend set, in Outdoor Denim Ink, layered on Avonlea Teal. A brown button tied with baker's twine adds a nice touch!

Thank you for looking today and congrats to Mojo Mondays for hitting a milestone! Thanks for the fun!
