Mojo Monday for Verve Stamps



Here is my Mojo Sketch 173 for Verve Stamps. For the base of my card I used Early Espresso then I layered a piece of striped paper from Basic Grey 'Sultry'. I over stamped using stamps from 'Forever in our Hearts' using brown, pink and green dye ink. I sponged brown ink on the edges to give more depth.

I cut out green paper as the base, white paper from the same 6' X 6' 'Sultry' pad. I ran half of the white paper thru a cuttlebug embossing folder 'Love in the Air'. I applied green, pink and brown inks directly on to the paper to raise the image. Taking half  of the white paper I sponged pink and brown ink on the edges and the other half that was run thru the embossing folder layered it on to green paper. Applied pink velvet ribbon to where the two pieces of paper met. Put 3 little heart whimsies to one side of paper and  cut out Fleur de Lis pendant in brown paper to the other half using foam tape. Cut out a scallop circle from the left over paper that went thru the Embossing folder. Stamped saying in black Crafter's ink and embossed using black EP on green paper. Punch it out using EK Success Journaling punch. Attached 2 pink brads in right hand corner and bow to the middle.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday 100th Celebration Blog Hop

Welcome to Flourishes Timeless Tuesday 100th Celebration Blog Hop!  To celebrate 100 Flourishes FTTC Challenges, we are having a hop and it starts NOW!  Check out the link to find out how to play along with us!  Everyone can play and anyone can win!  You have until midnight tonight to link up and all weekend to hop around! 

For my card, my favorite time of the year is Christmas so I used the following Flourishes Stamp sets: Christmas Music and Santa, I Believe. These are my favorite Christmas sets that  Flourishes introduced last year; actually I like all their sets. I started out with a 6" X 6"  Cherry Cobler as my base card, layered with red glitter paper that I used to cut out from the scalloped trim from Tasteful Trim XL die.Then I added Deck the Halls DSP which happens to be my favorite Christmas paper that Stampin'Up brought in the holiday mini which just retired. I cut out some of the Poinsettia using a craft knife so that I could slip my images in and have the Poinsettias frame my picture. Then I wrapped around some gold ribbon and then layered lace ribbon on top.I stamped the Christmas Music using Black Crafter's ink and embossed using detail black embossing powder. I sponged on it using Tim Holtz distress inks in the following colors: Wild Honey, Forest Moss, Fired Brick and Pine Needles. I tore all 4 edges. I cut out another Poinsettia from another sheet of the Deck the Halls DSP for the right corner. To the Poinsettia's I took a paint brush and applied Top Boss embossing reinker to them and applied clear embossing powder to get a shiny appearance. Stamp Santa using Appricot Ice on Shimmery White paper and colored him with Prismacolor pencils. Applied Gold Lame Smooch ink on his glasses. Applied Sparkly Fluff 'Sugar' to his hat, beard and hair usng a 2-way glue pen to add dimension. Applied Xmas Red stickles to the hollyberries. Then I cut him out using Spellbinders 'Label One' die and cut out another one in gold glitter paper. Stamped saying from the set of "Christmas Music" using black Crafter's ink and embossed using detail black embossing powder. Cut out tag from a piece of Deck the Halls paper using Ribbon Tags Trio 2 from Spellbinders. Attached Cherry Cobler seam binding using glue dots. Attached basic pearls to the centers of the Poinsettias and to the left hand corner along with an adornment. My favorites on this card is the coloring on the Santa, bling, Spellbinders and of course my Flourishes stamps.
