Hello peeps! I hope that everybody had a nice Monday. Mine was good, no complaints which is great! Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week’s sketch is provided by Carole Burrage…
I’m loving the sketch because it has a nice big flagged piece in it! My card starts off with a base of Baja Breeze Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered it to a piece of Early Espresso. The flagged piece of Baja Breeze is paper-pierced with the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool, it’s mounted to the card with SNAIL. I used a piece of the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack and backed it with some Baja Breeze, it’s then mounted it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. If you look closely you can see Baja Breeze and Crumb Cake in the paper, two colors that are not listed as the coordinating colors in the 2012 Holiday Catalog. Upon closer inspection I have found that most of Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers have some extra colors in them, you just have to take a little time and find them! I then used one of the Round Designer Ribbon Slides with some Early Espresso 1/4″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon. It is doubled on each side and small piece threaded through the middle for a quick tied bow effect. In the middle of the ribbon slide is a Vintage Faceted Designer Button and in the center of that is a basic Jewels Rhinestone. I adhered the ribbon on the back of the Early Espresso piece with Sticky Strip. The ornament is from the Keepsake Ornaments Stamp Set and Is stamped in Versa-Mark and Heat embossed with Early Espresso Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I then cut the ornament out with the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. You can get both the stamp set and the framelits in a bundle and save 15%. The greeting is from the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set and is stamped using my Stamp-a-ma-jig in Baja Breeze and mounted to a piece of Baja Breeze. Three Metallics 3/16″ Brads are on the left corner and I adhered the whole panel to the card base with some more Stampin’ Dimensionals. I have been on a non-tradiotional holiday color kick and I’m liking the results. I hope that you enjoyed tho week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card and thank you so much for checking in. Have a great day! 🙂
