Hmmm... Mojo Monday on a Tuesday for the 3rd week in a row... I think I'm seeing a pattern. :)
Mojo Monday is celebrating their 200th sketch challenge- CONGRATULATIONS! I know I enjoy their sketches weekly and am just BLOWN AWAY by the talent that is showcased there. Excellent inspiration, for sure!
Here's this week's sketch...
I followed the sketch pretty well, except for the bow. It just didn't work once I had that flower put together on the card. But, I AM pleased with how it turned out, so... oh well! :)
Here's the card...
Sorry for the picture quality... even though it's day light & there's natural light... it's a bit overcast, which is not making for the best photo op for the card. :( The card base is white & is matted with kraft that has been embossed with Swiss Dots. I used some striped paper from my stash mounted on olive green cardstock for the long rectangular piece. I used a MS eyelet punch on the edge. I used the SU Build a Blossom Punch for the flower (cut out in white) and inked the edges with a sponge in Pretty in Pink. I used some sheer white ribbon edged in satin from top to bottom. The sentiment is from ditto by studio g & says "lots of hugs." I stamped it in chocolate chip & used my blender pen to color in "hugs" with pretty in pink. I matted the sentiment on a chocolate square. I'll probably keep this card in my stash for my mother-in-law, who is going through chemo treatments right now.
Thanks for stopping by!
I'd love to hear your comments! Have a fantastic Tuesday!

P.S. If you have an Ott light you can make a neat little portable photo studio out of card stock that's inexpensive and works well for taking photos of cards. Check out the link below (on my blog) to see what I mean.
