And it’s time to start another week! I really enjoyed my weekend! We had a nice day at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store yesterday. The Novak sisters came up to work on some projects and I introduced them to the MISTI! We have another Altenew stamping master! Renee worked on her next piece of the Home Decor project and I got caught up on some administrative things. I snuck out a little early and booked my Parent’s trip to Florida. They are going to meet my Aunt, Uncle and cousins from England in Florida. They are leaving on my birthday! Pretty messed up right?! LOL! I also made the mistake of watching the MTV VMA’s, what a horrible production! The performances were ok but the hosts and the fillers were appalling! Maybe I’m just getting old?! Anyway, today I have to start working on my cards for the September Card Class, that will be fun!
Monday, Mojo Monday! YAY! Here is this week’s sketch…
Oh, Tall & Skinny, love them! I started working on my card at the store and assembled it when I got home. My base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock cut to 3 1/2″ wide. The background is a piece of Solar White 80lb and that is adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. I added a strip of Bo Bunny Believe 12×12 Paper, with the end flagged, down the right side of the card. Across the card is a piece of Amethyst Stardream Metallic and going across that is a piece of Gold Mirror Card. I stamped my image and greeting from the Altenew Tulip Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields and Deep Iris for the tulip and Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades for the stem, the greeting is also stamped in Deep Iris. The piece is then backed with a piece of Cyber Grape and Fun Foam and adhered to the card with E-Z Runner. I adhered a few Pretty Pink Posh Pansy Purple, Gold and Lime Sorbet Sequins with Multi-Matte Medium around the tulip and the card is done! I love that beautiful layered tulip and the font in the greeting is perfect for the set! I hope that you like my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge!

OH my Justin – the only way I can describe this card is “delicious”! That is because of the soft colors and the beautiful way the colors accent each other on the flowers and leaves. I take it this is a multi-stamp photopolymer stamp set and you used the Misti for the stamping? I really need to get to your shop so I can see these amazing sets in person.
How wonderful that your parents are going to meet your relatives from England in Florida. I’m sure it will be a wonderful time for all of them. I’m sure you will survive your birthday with them leaving for their trip. You will have all of us here singing Happy Birthday to You! Not to worry, you won’t be forgotten…..LOL Have yourself a Magical Monday my friend. Love and hugs to you! XXOO 🙂
Well, thank you so much Grace! I absolutely love the MISTI and the Altenew Stamps! They take a little practice to get them lined up but the results are absolutely amazing! Yes, I need a visit from Grace!
Im actually really bummed that I’m not going with them! I love my Uncle, he’s one of the funniest people I know! I get my good sense of humor from him! I’m holding you to the singing of Happy Birthday!! I hope that you enjoyed your Monday too! Love and hugs back at ya! XOXO 🙂
What a stunning card, Justin. I love the colors and vertical greeting and that it is tall and skinny. Of course, there is a touch of Gold Mirror Card and beautiful sequins to add a little more bling. Love it. It sounds as though you got a lot done yesterday. Grace is right about all of us will sing Happy Birthday to you!! I love Grace’s creative, fun thinking. I’d love to meet her, you and other commenters in your blog community. That would be a fun party! Have a great day.
Thank you HJ! I do love the Mojo Sketches with the Tall & Skinny cards! The Tulip stamp is fantastic and I like the greeting sideways, makes for a fun change! I really do think that a card looks a little naked without some sequins! My birthday is getting better already! Grace is absolutely awesome! I had the best time with her and her daughters in Manhattan that day and I can’t wait to do it again! One day, when I’m rich we will have a big blog meet up! That would be the best day EVER! 🙂
Gorgeus, I really need to get that samp set, love it! Really like the colors yu chose.
Dragging today, the Bruce concert ended at 1135, by the time we got out of the stadium and the paking lots, (that was the worst) home at 0130. I took today off but poor hubby had to work.
Take care
Thanks so much Linda! The stamp set is great, but I love all of the Altenew Sets!
I hope that you had the best time at your concert! Totally worth dragging for one day! Poor hubby! Get rested up so you tell me about the show! 🙂
It’s a beauty! I love the soft colors…and I always love tulips. The jewels are such a pretty touch!
Thank you very much Evelyn! Have a great day! 🙂
