MOJO89 - Contest

This is for this past Monday's MOJO89 Contest. I'm hoping I got close enough to the sketch for this to count. I couldn't resist using this Miss Anya image that I have had colored for a couple of weeks and just lying on my desk. She was screaming at me to put her on a card today. I paired her with me favorite SU designer paper Raspberry Tart. I can't wait for the first week of July to see all of SU's new papers to see what my new favorite will be. Hope they have some bright ones. LOL. Here's my card, along with a close up of the Heart Ghost Image I used on the ribbon.





Thanks for checking me out today. Have a great Sunday and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

AMYRS67 - Rockin' Anya


Good Monday morning!! This is for Amy Rysavy's sketch AMYRS67 from this past Friday. I used the set Rock the Farm from The Greeting Farm (thanks Mercy for sharing!!). If you can't already tell, The Greeting Farm stamps are some of my favorites right now. I just love all their stamps. Can't get enough of them.

I started out with a So Saffron card base and used Slumber Party Specialty for my designer paper. The coordinating colors are Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze and So Saffron. Anya was stamped with Black Brilliance Ink, embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, colored with Copic Markers and cut out with Oval Nesties. The ribbon is the So Saffron Grosgrain from the Occasions Mini and it's finished off with Silver Brads.

Thanks for checking me out today. I hope this is a start to a wonderful week for you. I'm counting down the days until this Friday when we will be leaving to go camping. Woohoo!! I love getting away to the woods. Thanks for checking me out and I'll talk to you soon.

MFTSC80 - For Someone


Here is a card for the MFT sketch for the week - MFTSC80. I used the set from The Greeting Farm called For Someone.

I started with an Old Olive card base and the only piece of designer paper I used was for the medium circle panel and it has a piece from the Ski Slope paper pack. The other colors are Pink Passion, Certainly Celery and Baja Breeze. The main image was stamped with Black Brilliance Ink, embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, colored with Copic Markers and cut out and mounted on a Circle Nestie. The bling is Kaiser Rhinestones and it's finished off with some Baja Breeze Grosgrain Ribbon.

Thanks for checking me out. I hope your weekend is going great. Check back tomorrow for another card. Talk to you soon.
