Seeing as I got such a late start yesterday there isn’t much to report on today. I had a nice relaxing day yesterday. I made a few cards and watched Now You See Me for like the fourth time. Sometimes even I need a “veg” day! I managed to get the laundry done and straighten up a bit too so it wasn’t a total day of nothing but it did contain enough nothing to make me happy!
While Monday’s aren’t my favorite day of the week it does mean that it’s time for another Mojo Monday sketch and I do love those…
I got to use one of my favorite stamp sets along with some paper that I got whole I was in Lancaster that I think goes great with it! The card base for today is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. The background is two pieces of paper from the Heidi Swapp 6×6 #HS01060 (no name?!) Paper Pad. I stamped the notebook sheet using the Clearly Besotted Just a Note Photopolymer Stamp in Mint Macaroon. The greeting and flower along with the leaves are from the Clearly Besotted Sketched Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set. The greeting is stamped in Blushing Bride, the leaves in Mint Macaroon and the flower is heat embossed in White Hero Arts Embossing Powder on Vellum. The leaves and the flower are cut out with the coordinating dies. I flagged a strip of Blushing Bride and adhered that to the notebook layer. The leaves are adhered with SNAIL and the flower with 2-Way Glue. The panel is then adhered to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. A few My Minds Eye Lost & Found Christmas Enamel Dots complete the card. I love the colors in the paper and I think they go so well with Mint Macaroon and Blushing Bride! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge!

Thank you so much Nancy! 🙂
Gorgeous card. Love the vellum flower.
Thanks very much JoAnn! 🙂
Justin,
LOVE this card. It is so delicate. The vellum rose, the colors and the designer paper… I just can’t express how beautiful this card is.
Hey Gerri!
Thank you! So happy that you enjoyed the card! 🙂
Beautiful card. That white embossed vellum flower is such a stunning element.
Thank you so much Julee! I hope that you have an awesome week! 🙂
Beautiful card, Justin. I love the colors of the DSP, the notebook sheet adds a casual dimension and the beautiful rose adds elegance, so you have all bases covered to make the receiver very happy.
Thank you HJ! I love the color in the DSP too, nice and subtle! Love that stamp set too! 🙂
Good Morning Justin!
You mean you actually slowed down for an entire day???? Hard to believe. I hope you have a witness to confirm that! LOL
Your embossed on vellum rose is amazingly beautiful. The entire card is gorgeous but the rose is breath taking. I thought this particular Mojo Monday sketch was a bit complicated with maybe too many elements but you have put them all together so beautifully that I had to rethink my original impression. I would have titled this card “blushing bride” even though I know it’s a “hello” card. So soft, so lovely, so beautiful.
Glad you got to have a quiet day to catch your breath. Your weekends have been so exciting and chock full that you most likely really needed some quiet time. It was a bit too hot here over the weekend for me. I think the company we had this past week is the last for this summer but I’m never sure. I’m hoping next week will be cooler so that we can get away to NH for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. I want to go to the race track in Loudon and Keepsake Quilting. I’m sure if I google it, I can find some local stamp stores to stop in also, or at least I hope so. You keep resting until you get all that energy back and have yourself a Magical Monday. Luv and Hugs, XO.
Hi Grace!
LOL! Yes, I actually did slow down and it was bliss! I do have a witness! LOL!
Thank you! So glad that you like the card! That Paper and Stamp were made for each other! I do love the Mojo sketches, I always have fun with them! Change out the sentiment and it would work for lots of different occasions!
I really am loving the summer and I like the warm weather! I hope that you get a chance to get away and especially find some cool stores to visit! You’ll have to let me know what you find! Love to you!! XOXOXO 🙂
