Happy Tuesday everyone (probably Wednesday by the time you read this)!
I stumbled across the awesome MOJO Challenge and just had to play. I am dog tired, but loved the sketch and thank the authors for this challenge. I just had to play!
My friend asked me to make her sympathy cards and birthday cards instead of a birthday gift this year, so I am doing my level best to make at least one per evening.
So it's not the happiest of subjects, but here is a sympathy card for my friend Jeanne.
I silver embossed an iris stamp from Great Impressions onto an opal irredescent stock. I ran some silver Currency through the CB with the mesh folder for the panel behind the irises. This rests atop a layer of another pearlescent irredescent stock and all layers are framed in Classic Linen Violet.
I hope I wasn't cheating with the lacy scallop border edges at the bottom panel of the card. I used punches for the butterflies and the Label Punch for the sentiment.
Wow, what a fun challenge. Loved this sketch and I can't wait for the next one.
Thank you again and thanks for looking!

HOLY SMOKES EM!! This card is soooo beautiful! I love it and the shimmer is right up my alley! I love the purple with the opal colors and the silver! Those butterflies are perfect for this card, I love how you matted the sentiment too, that looks like it took forever and that silver ribbon really tops it off! Tsmfs!

I love it when friends are happy with a box of cards as a gift - and when they're presented in a nice box, they still have something to keep and re-use after all the cards are gone. Just love that embossed silver iris and the violet with the shimmery papers.

I am clean out of sympathy cards, so I went searching for ideas and found this. I love it. The shimmer really adds elegance, and I love what you have done with your layering. This went right into my favorites!
