My Friend Mojo Card

Hello Again,

I’ve done the Mojo Monday sketch again this week, wow – 2 in a row – I’m getting into it! This card was made after an inspiring day with Jane Norrish & other demonstrators here on the Gold Coast.

Not only was I taught by one of the ladies how to make this fabulous flower, but I learned a new technique with paper that is great for using up bits and pieces.
 Do  you like that background?
I also experimented on this card with dyeing the ribbon with matching ink, it certainly likes to suck up the colour, so I only used a little bit as a feature, It's Pool Party ink.

Check out the dimension in that flower! We used the Blossom flower punch with is in the current Autumn-Winter mini catalogue and some Pool Party cardstock. 

I love those 2012-2013 IN colours!

Here I’ve teamed the Pool Party flower with Calypso Coral card base, some Whisper White that was embossed with the ever faithful Square Lattice embossing folder. The My Friend set sentiment was lined with Calypso Coral Bakers Twine to define the edges, which was then laid over my gorgeous background of coloured patchwork strips.

Here’s the Mojo Monday sketch…

Hope you like my take on the sketch this week. Hope also to be back next week with another one, if I don’t post anything in between – See you then!

My Mojo 171 is ready to go..

Hi All,

Well I've done my Mojo this week in a spurt of creativity, and I even remembered to jot down the names of the products I used - how good am I?

Here it is...

Now for the products used:

The cardstock is from my DCWV Textured Stack Nuetrals in a nice orangish shade, along with a pale metallic blue card that I bought from the newsagent a while ago that I have matted on the smaller squares. I've used Stampin Up smooth cardstock in cream for the stamped backgrounds and the sentiment.

On the large background square I used the "Tres Chic" background stamp also from Stampin Up.

The paper matted onto the smaller squares is from Kaiser's Tea at Elsies collection which was my inspiration colour wise for this card,

The medium sized square on the front was stamped with my Stampin Up Jumbo roller using the "Friendly Words" roller. I;ve also chalked over a stencil with some apricot coloured chalk and put some Kaiser bling in a bright blue around the edges of the design. It's a little hard to see in the photo, but the bling kinda draws your eye to the chalky pattern.

The sentiment is also from Stampin Up and is from the "Perfect Punches" collection. It will look a whole lot better when I finally get the punch that matches this stamp, in the meantime I've just cut around it with scissors.

Stampin Up Bright Blue ink was my choice for all the stamped images.I've also edged most of the pieces with either Bright Blue ink or an orangish coloured ink that I had in my stash.

The ribbon I've tied in a double bow using a Martha Stewart piped nylon 3/8" ribbon in apricot.

That's it I think. Hope you all like it.
