Mojo Monday Sketch 1 Revisited



Hi friends! Today I'm revisitng my first ever Mojo Monday sketch with a couple of cards using the December Paper Pad Club from Not 2 Shabby. The Valentine Mice paper pad has a page design that has several cut aparts on it. I cut them with my Brother Scan-n-Cut to use in place of certain layers on this sketch.  For this first card I used some gold matting to dress things up and a heart die cut hanging from her tail for the sentiment.


When I started these sketches way back when I purposely didn't include measurements because I felt it was important for people to feel comfortable using whatever measurements fit their chosen elements, papers, or stamps. But so many people requested them, I started putting them on the later sketches 
So I've updated the sketch graphic, changing the inner panel size to my most commonly used panel now... 3.75 x 5" and adding measurements on the side for those who prefer them. Save the image below and print at 100% and it should be exact.

My second card was given to my husband for our anniversary this past weekend. Hard to believe we've been married for 28 years! I really love this sentiment from the Always and Forever stamp set, so embossed it onto a die cut square. I masked off the edges and blended some tattered rose ink as a backdrop. This is a great way to add matting without adding bulk to an already layer heavy card. 


I finished off with the sweet mouse cut apart on dimensional foam and a few sparkling enamel dots for accent.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! What do you think about revisiting past sketches? Let me know in the comments.
