Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Did y'all have a good weekend? I suffered through a few serious migraines, but luckily last night things loosened up enough for me to do a little creating. It's Mojo Monday and this week's sketch was designed by Teresa Kline. It's a great way to use up some old scraps, but I have soooooo much new paper right now (I kind of went on a paper binge last week! LOL), that I had to cut into some of it for my Mojo card.
These papers are all from the Conservatory 6x6 pad by 7 Gypsies. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love the patterns in this paper! I really didn't have to do much else - the papers really steal the show! I picked my patterns and then cut them in one stack with the Bracket edge die from Tim Holtz, then sponged each with a little Vintage Photo distress ink and layered together onto the card base.
Next up I pulled out the frame stamp from Fabulous You and embossed it in Metallic Bronze onto ivory cardstock. I distressed the edges a bit and gave it a distressed kraft mat, then tied some scrumptious new very vanilla seam binding ribbon from SU! around the edge. For the circle element, I embossed the circle frame from Happy Hello and added the Hello friend sentiment in Bermuda Bay, then inked up the edges and matted on a kraft scallop circle. For my finishing touches I added a brown jeweled organza butterfly and some 3 mm shiny gold pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty.
That's all on the card front today. Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulous start to your week! Be sure to tune in to the Verve Blog this week for the final days of our Something Old, Something New project parade!
