Mojo Fifth Avenue Rose

Hi Everyone,

I’m back and have managed to do my Mojo Monday sketch for the week and what a sketch it was, so many elements to it – here is my card, a beautiful black rose!

The beautiful rose from Fifth Avenue Floral was heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss powder onto Black cardstock and fussy cut out.

I then highlighted areas of the Rose that I wanted to coat in glitter using the Versamarker and Heat n Stick Powder. The Versamarker lets you put glitter just where you want it and is great for doing fine lines. The Stampin’ Glitter is Dazzling Diamonds – it is truly very fine in texture and it sticks well using the powder.  

I used the same Pear Pizzazz coloured paper from the Twitterpated Designer Paper pack that is in the current mini catalogue to make the leaves and the underlying mat – just offsetting the pattern.

Not only did I use the  Mojo Monday sketch, but also the Colour Q challenge colours…

      

What a blast of fun I’ve had making this card – lots of Sizzlits (Floral Fusion, Little Leaves, Lots of Tags) cut out with my Big Shot and various papers/ cardstocks. Also one of my all time favourite stamp sets – Fifth Avenue Floral – which is possibly going to be retired in September when the new catalogue arrives. boo hoo.

The sentiment really appeals to me as I am far from a perfectionist and I could really use this as a motto to slow down and do it right the first time! 

Hope you all are having a lovely day, perhaps sitting by the ‘puter having a cuppa? Whatever your doing, enjoy and I’ll catch you later.

Mojo Melon Mambo

Hi Everyone,

Thought I’d better get in and do my Mojo Monday card for this week, here it is…

 and here is the sketch….

    

I have stamped the large rose from Fifth Avenue Floral in Crumb Cake ink on the white base, framed it with Melon Mambo and went ballistic with the paper piercing tool! I love how the Mat Pack keeps you going in straight lines.

A little (well sort of little) package arrived just in time from Stampin’ Up with my order this month and I was able to use the Floral Fusion sizzlit to make a flower. I stamped in Melon Mambo on the white flowers that I had cut (using the Triple Tread flower stamp). 

The little leaves sizzlit is there too.

Designer Frames embossing folder with Oval All stamp set for the sentiment and it’s layered onto a crimped piece of Crumb Cake that has been swiped over with White Shimmer Paint.

I went with a colour combo from Dynamic Duos

Crumb Cake with Melon Mambo was my choice, only Whisper White kind of got in there.

Hope you like my card today, I’ve had a rather crafty afternoon and have a couple more cards to share with you using Crumb Cake card stock over the next few days. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you again soon..

Hello Hello Hello

Is there an echo in here? lol

Seriously, Hello there:-

I used the roller stamp from Stampin’ Up called Take a Sip and some Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake Card Stock and then used my Stampin’ Write pens or a Water Pen with ink to colour the tea cups in or outline them.

The other stamp I used, and I’m not sure if it was designed to go with Take a Sip, but it works for me. It’s the singleton stamp available from Stampin’ Up called Share A Cup and I cut it out using the XL Oval punch.

I used the colours from the Colour Q Challenge this week.

Hope you like it, it sure was fun to make.
