I absolutely love this fun sentiment from the Big Cups set by The Cat's Pajamas. It totally fits me to a "t" each and every Monday! 😁 I decided to pair it with the recently released Stitched Hello CutUps
For the backgrounds, I was feeling a little splashy, so pulled out distress oxides in broken china and seedless preservers to do a little smooshing. I stamped my coffee loving Poochie in jet black amalgam ink, then colored the cup with seedless preserves and stamped the is it Friday yet in the same color. I was a bit worried I'd mess up my image if I tried to smoosh onto the top layer, so I pulled out the amazing Watercolor Basics set and stamped some splatters in Tumbled Glass distress oxide to tie it in with the rest of the card.
The horizontal border in the sketch is represented here using a flourish stamp from the new Big Word Basics set, which I stamped with my MISTI so I could be sure to get a good impression over the two layers of backgrounds. I then decided to go around the edges with a black permanent pen, and as Murphy would have it, I made a booboo. Never fear, that's the perfect time to add an embellishment. Here I cut a short little banner from black cardstock and covered up my booboo. I finished off the card with some ebony Nuvo drops to accent the black cardstock pieces.
Here's the Mojo Monday 506 sketch and linkup...

What an adorable card! I happen to love the colors too! Happy New Year!
Julee, this is an awesome sketch and your sample make is a knockout! I hope to make time, especially since you have given us until the 13th! Yay! Happy New Year to you and yours, and thanks again for reviving Mojo! I have every one of them saved since Sketch121 and also the cards I made over the years. Was looking at them recently, they were some of the best I've made and your sketches helped immensely! For card makers like me for whom it's a therapy, you are truly doing God's work. Hugs! xoxo
