Je t'adore Mojo

Happy Monday!  It's the beginning of a new week, and it's time for a Round or Square Mojo Sketch {Mojo176}.  This week's sketch was submitted by Mary Fish and I loved the different possibilities for embellishing that sweet little curve.  Check out the Mojo Monday blog for this week's sketch and some super fun samples from the design team.  I hope you'll play along!

For my card, I wanted to play with a few new goodies.  I knew I was going to be all mopey about seeing all the new stuff from the CHA sneak peeks, so I planned ahead and put a few little orders in so I'd have brand new stuff to play with over the weekend!   So I knew I wanted to use the new Sweet Buttons Embosslit from the SU! mini, some of this Je t'adore paper by Making Memories and a sweet little Sentiments Flag die from Lil' Inker Designs.  I love the size of it and that the tails are even every time!  Yay!

I started by tracing a curve using a button jar I had on my desk on the back side of the patterned paper.  I then placed my circle die over it so the curve was positioned where I wanted it and cut the circle, then trimmed along the traced line and glued to a full circle of the pink dotted paper.  Before I glued the circle onto my scallop base, I used the Lots of Hearts punch to punch the heart trio.  Then I forgot about the punch outs by the time I went to glue down my circle, and ran tape across the under layer.  Not to worry, I decided to fix my little blunder by making them stripey hearts with a little silver glass glitter and some pink liquid pearls!

The buttons are done with the Sweet buttons embosslit and I stitched a little scrappers floss through each of the button holes.  Next up I made a fan by cutting a 1.5" x 6" strip of patterned paper, scoring at 1/4" intervals down the length of it, then accordion folding and fanning out.  I embellished the edges with some red rhinestone strips and added a prima flower that was sitting on my desk.  Up in the corner I pulled out a mini library clip to tack on a little Je t'adore coordinating ticket and then finished with a little sentiment flag, using the Lil' Inkers die and a stamped sentiment from Love Notes.

There you have it!  My curve had a bit more character before I covered it all up, but I think it still works!  :)  I used Grand Nestabilities in my Grand Calibur machine, so the finished size of this card  is a larger 5.25" in diameter.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Have a fabulous start to your week, and I'll be back tomorrow with a very special post!
