MOJO154

Mojo Monday's sketch was Round or Square, so I chose the easier--Square! I LOVE these colors together, inspired by the Designer Series Paper "Love Letter." The colors in the paper are Riding Hood Red, Basic Black and Very Vanilla.

Accessories really made this card pop! I used the rich Basic Black Satin ribbon and one Basic Clear Rhinestone.

My Big Shot came in handy, allowing me to create that beautiful Basic Black Large Scallop Square. I ran it through a second time to texture it with the Textured Impressions Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

Two hand-held punches gave me the paper circle and the round scallop. "Amour" was stamped in two colors using my Stampin' Write markers and was then punched out using the Small Oval punch.

The square of Very Vanilla inside the Basic Black scalloped square is my own "designer" paper! I love creating my own background papers using my stamps. One of the Artistic Etchings stamps dipped into Riding Hood Red and repeated across the paper sideways completed the look I was going for.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my card and that you will leave your comments below.

PPA Challenge--Flowers

Welcome to the Pals Paper Arts Challenge #37! This week you can create using the theme "flowers." I can't wait to see how all of our players will use flowers in their creations.

I used my new Square Scalloped Clear Bigz Die. I cut my card out by folding the card stock and placing the die over all the area I wanted cut and open, and leaving one edge off of the fold in the card stock. Voila! For my flowers, I used the Love U Decor Stencils from the Definitely Decorative pamphlet. This set is so versatile! You can use the images to stencil onto wrapping paper, walls, books or journals--the possibilities are endless! There are 7 images in the set (118261 14.95).

To color my stencils, I used sponge daubers and took the ink directly from the ink pad itself. I just dabbed onto the pad, then dabbed onto the stencil. Since the design of this flower is a simple one, I didn't need to worry about the stencil moving while I was dabbing.
