Button mojo

A parcel of items I ordered from the States arrived on Friday, and I couldn't resist inking the stamps up immediately using the latest Mojo Monday sketch for inspiration!





I just LOVE PTI stamps!! This is the first time I've bought any, and they're awesome! I didn't do very much planning when I made this card, and in hindsight I should've used Old Olive card for the base and moved the ribbon lower down on the card. Still, it was great fun to play with the Everyday Button Bits stamp set and all the images are so irresistibly cute!!

Thanks for stopping by. :)

Three-in-one

I missed out on doing Makeesha's sketch challenge last week, so I just had to do this week's which happens to be a colour challenge. I combined it with the latest Mojo Monday sketch and made a birthday card for a friend.





This card is a bit 'blah', to me. The colours of the stamped panel don't stand out or have any pizzazz. I used my clear at you Spica glitter pen to go over the sentiment, giving it a nice sparkle, but I did this after I took the photo and I'm much too lazy to take and edit another. :) I had to use Confetti White cardstock for the base as Whisper White is just too thin and flimsy. I think I might try this challenge again tomorrow, depending on whether or not I can find the time.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mojo Monday #94

Wow, it's been a while since my last challenge entry. I think I haven't done any challenges since way before I left on my holiday. Time to get back into things!

With Mum's birthday coming up, I thought I'd use the latest Mojo Monday sketch to make her a card.

I took the colour combo from Stampin' Up!'s Urban Garden paper, and what a great combo it is! However, I took the liberty of moving the circular element, cos it didn't quite look right to me after rotating the sketch clockwise.

Stamp set: Echoes of Kindness, Best Yet, Itty Bitty Backgrounds (retired).
Cardstock/paper: Kiwi Kiss, Basic Grey, watercolour paper, Urban Garden DSP.
Ink: Versacolour 82 Black, Soft Sky, Baja Breeze, Blue Bayou, Night of Navy marker, Not Quite Navy marker.
Other: Aquapainter, clear embossing powder, distressing tool, 3.2cm circle punch, 3.5cm circle punch, stampin' dimensionals, Maya Road butterfly rub on, paper snips.

I love love LOVE how the butterfly turned out! I rubbed one of the Maya Road butterflies onto Baja Breeze DSP, cut it out and stuck it onto the card using dimensionals. It was such a pain fussy cutting the butterfly, although I think it was worth it. Here is a close up of the wee butterfly.


Thanks for looking!

Mojo Monday 84!

I tried to stick to the sketch but the circle thingo I made really didn't look good at all, so I took it off.

This is what it looked like with the circle.

The colours I used were taken from the Fall Flowers DSP (Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Soft Sky) and I embossed the flowers using white EP. Thanks for stopping by!

Mojo Monday #83

It's time for another fabulous Mojo Monday sketch challenge!

I used Kraft for the base card and added a layer of Old Olive DSP (retired) and a scalloped layer of Pumpkin Pie DSP (retired). I think perhaps I shouldn't have used Pumpkin DSP, as it looks really busy to me. Anyway, I glued a piece of vellum onto the card and added a saying from the Reason to Smile stamp set (also retired!) that was inked with Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie markers and layered onto More Mustard CS. The card was finished off with two Flower Fusion flowers and a rhinestone brad. Thanks to the lovely Mojo Monday ladies for giving us a challenge every week!

Mojo Monday 82.

Just a really simple card for the latest Mojo Monday sketch.

I used Always Artichoke CS for the base and layered a piece of Brocade Background DSP onto Choc Chip CS. The lighting makes the Choc Chip look purple! I used Basic Grey ink to stamp both the image and the sentiment, but I think it'd look better without the sentiment. I had to use my new word window punch, though. :) Anyway, thanks for stopping by!

Mojo monday #81!

Hi all! I decided to try my first Mojo Monday challenge, and this was the sketch we had to use.

I decided to use the Spring Break DSP and follow the colour scheme of the paper. Am loving my corner rounder punch! I stamped the seahorse, fish and shell onto Whisper White CS and cut them out, sticking them onto the card using dimensionals. With the seahorse, I tried to wrap its tail around the cardstock to mimc how they hang on to seaweed IRL. Am a bit unsure of this card, perhaps I could've chosen different colours/paper. Anyway, thanks for looking!
