Mojo Scallops

Yes, I've been absent for a few days.  I'm working on something really exciting that will be unveiled the day after Christmas.   It's taken lots of time to coordinate and prepare for.  With the unveiling so close, there's the inevitable tweaking here and there which requires me to be away from my blog.

I did however manage to compelte my first ever Mojo Monday Challenge.  I've been wanting to participate for a while, but something always seems to get in the way.  Not this time.

Without further ado, here is my creation for Mojo #117.

Before you say anything I know it's missing the bow on the right.  I couldn't bare putting it on and covering up that awesome ribbon.  It just would have been to much extra.  Besides, I've noticed there were a few other cards that omitted it.

There was also the option of adding a button to the center of the flower but again, too much.  I must have put that button on and off for over 1/2 hour trying to decide.  Geesh!  Anyone else have that kind of dilema when designing a card?

Now, off to work on some other projects whilst the kids are away watching the Saints game.  Quiet time, yeah. 

Have a great night.

Blogger Challenge Week 23

I've recently joined a group of Blogging Stampers. This week is my first Blogger Challenge. The goal was to create 2 cards using the same stamp but with two different points of views. The stamp I'm focusing on is one of the SU! level 2 hostess sets.


Card 1 was created using watercolor paper and watercolor crayons. Just mist your rubber stamp and scribble the crayon on top of the wet rubber; then stamp the image onto the watercolor paper. I tried to lighten the image but the cardstock is so dark. The flowers were also outlined with an eggplant colored marker.





For card 2 I just stamped the flower mulitple times to create the background. The base cardstock is Saffron but the ink used was mustard and close to cocoa (the close to cocoa was stamped off once before applying to the cardstock.
