Mojo Monday...on a Tuesday? Again?

In the hurry of a not so normal Monday, I forgot to check out the sketch at Poetic Artistry. I can't believe I did that!


Great sketch huh? I sat down last night to work on it (no, Mia was NOT sleeping), and I saw this great paper I bought on another road trip! BoBunny!!! Who doesn't love BoBunny paper! And then I really screwed up! ARGH!


I'm posting the card, booboo and everything. I was supposed to put 3 brads, eyelets, something at the top of the main image...And I had the brads sitting there right in front of me, but for some reason, I forgot to put them. And I used permanent adhesive so I couldn't take the card apart! WAAAAA!


I still like my card...and the red and blue of the patterned paper is so different. This could become a favorite paper for me.
Friendship card details:
Stamps: dots (Art Warehouse), bird (Martha Stewart), sentiment (Artful Inkables)
Patterned Paper: Santorini Mediterrani (BoBunny)
Cardstock: Pacific Point, Real Red, Whisper White (SU!)
Ink: Pacific Point, Real Red, Creamy Caramel (SU!)
Accessories: ribbon, scallop punch (fiskars), vellum
I hope you like my card! And thanks for looking!

Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #43

Monday's are not good days for me. I try to get some kind of housework done, laundry finished and, being from New Orleans, I have some kind of pot of beans on the stove all day. Makes for an interesting day.

But first thing everyday, I do my surfing and print all the challenges that I case. And this Monday was no different. Techno Stamper has such great sketches!


I found a great color combo as well BUT I didn't write down the website. The colors were Sahara Sand, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Basic Black and Really Rust...well, let's say these were my color choices.



I'm actually pretty happy with the way the card came out...and I got to use this great little sentiment stamp that I got as a thank you from Artful Inkables. Down here, we call that langiappe (lang-yap), which means a little something extra.
Absolutely Fabulous card details:
Stamps: Eastern Blooms (SU!), sentiment (Artful Inkables)
Paper: dsp, Chocolate Chip, Basic Black, Whisper White, Really Rust (SU!)
Ink: Old Olive, Really Rust (SU!), StazOn Jet Black
Accessories: buttons (random)
I hope you like my card! And thanks for looking!
