mojo monday/mojo450-god is good

For this weeks mojo monday sketch, I have created a traditional A2 card. I have also played along with the inspired by challenge. The stickles is sooo globby looking in photo, it does not look like that IRL...could not get a decent photo for nothing. Be sure to check out the mojo makers blogs.

adventure awaits

I need a graduation card and I adore the card Elizabeth created here and I knew I wanted to case it! The world stamp is from concord & 9th as is the congratulations sentiment. I wanted to use the school colors which are green and gold, so I added gold stars using lil inker stitched star dies. I adore the colors that Elizabeth used, but wanted to stick with the school colors. Some ink sponging and some eneamel dots finish my card.

tgif challenge: favorite designer/elizabeth's card here

thank you

had to play along with a couple of amazing challenges, the global design and can you case it. It is a good long weekend and I have set aside time to create! I have used the adorable sentiment set from right at home called, simple sentiments. Some polka dotted embossing paste behind the main foal point, watercolored piece of paper, and the layered corrugated circle, star, and twine make up my card.
