I finally got to last week's MOJO sketch. I had it halfway made, so I wanted to finish it even though they're already onto their next sketch.
It's no my usual colors so much, but I've been playing around with the SU in colors again just trying to different looks. I used Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Vanilla for this color combo.
..Used stylized flowers ef for the vanilla layer.
..Used the crushed curry dsp for the rectangular portion of the card, matted on old olive and framed with rectangular nesties.
..Used another piece of crushed curry dsp for the circular image and topped it with a stamp from Boho Blossoms. I colored the stamp in with coordinating colors, used crystal effects on some of the petals and dusted it lightly with dazzling diamonds. Popped up the image on dimensionals.
..Used Short and Sweet Greetings for my greeting on SU word window punch and layered with the modern label punch.
..Coordinated with dusty duranga polka dot ribbon.
..Added a coordinating flower and, of course, had to find some places to put my beautiful green pearls.
..Also, the flower brad in the center of my image was given to me in a RAK by Peggy-Sue!! I love the brads you sent me in that package Peggy-Sue!!!
..The first layer and the image were popped up on dimensionals.
Well, that's about it. Got lots of birthdays this month b/t family and friends, so I've been loading up on birthday cards. Unfortunately, I have several masculine cards to make that I've been putting off. They are no fun I tell you!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and let me know what you think when you have a chance.

Pammy, this is so pretty with your mix of colors. You really know how to put a card together. Peggy-Sue sent the perfect brad for your masterpiece. Love the little flower..almost reminds me of a butterfly. Beautiful ribbon, beautiful card. Oh, I forgot to mention those trademark pearls...they are pretty, also.

I'm glad to see you playing with the In Colors, Pam, because this one's fabulous! As usual, you incorporated such great texture and layers. I especially like your sentiment Word Window layered on the Modern Label Punch.
