Beautiful You


Good mojo Monday morning peeps, I am thrilled to be bringing you this weeks mojo sketch, not only is it is a fabulous sketch, but I am also using the newly released Verve set Swan Song. Well, Julee has done it again, she has made a stamp that can be used in two different ways. When I got this set in the mail, I was like a Swan with legs...lol...and then I saw this card made by Julee Sneaky Wishes. She has designed the swan to be a swan or a peacock, how great is that? Last release she designed the flower from the Enjoy set to be a flower or a butterfly. She is a genius, her ideas are never ending.
Well you know I couldn't wait to make a peacock out of the swan and I paired it with the Beautiful You sentiment from the Beautiful You set. I heat embossed the sentiment onto the card with SU Close to Cocoa ink, versamark, and Judikins embossing powder. I used the EKSuccess Embossed Curve punch to make the larger scallops, I added pearls to the top curves. This punch reminds me of a big fancy curtain on the stage of the opera, don't ya think? I sewed the ribbon on, added the peacock that has been stamped on the Labels Five Nestie shape and layered. I also sponged around the shape, added a few layers to the peacocks wings, and added stickles for some shimmer. The dp is from Making Memories Autumn Splendor pack. I hope you enjoy your Monday and make time to play with the mojo makers this week. To see all the creations with this sketch go to the Mojo Monday Blog.
