Mojo Monday 244-Contest

MoJoMonday is a challenge usually just for fun...but the first Monday of each month there are prizes for the top picks. The winners will get to choose a Verve Stamp set of their choice. This weeks sketch is by Julee.

Shades of green Hello

It's really fun when you see a sketch and it just comes together. You know what colors and elements you want to use. So I gathered some ivory card stock some scraps of green paper and ribbon. I used Gina K's stamp set "botanicals" for the focal image, and cut half circles for the scalloped edge. I used "peeled paint" Distress Ink for the stamp and all the edges. When I looked back at the sketch I saw the scalloped circle, but I like the square as it was. There are no dimensions given for the sketch so it's all a guessing game on what will fit. I added the butterfly and sentiment to complete the card.

Thanks in green

I had all the supplies handy so I decided to try again this time using a scalloped circle on top of the square.  The reward is that I now have 2 cards complete, similar yet different, and so easy. The second one is closer to the sketch.



I've been busy making birthday cards for family member, some specialty cards and a few get well cards, so I haven't had time to enter any challenges. I really do enjoy following a sketch and I love looking at all the entries to see other versions. I get more visitors and wonderful feed back from contestants so even if I don't win the prize I feel like a winner.
