Okay, lets try a Mothermark format this time:
1) This stamp has NEVER been inked before, and I have had it since 1995 (no I didn't stamp then--I just collected frogs)
2) This is my first time using color pencils and spirits. (Using the cheap stuff--waiting to invest in the REAL thing)
3) I am pomegranate-less, so I fudged with the pencils and the BasicGrey "Perhaps" paper. (Yes, I copied Emily--just shoot me now).
4) The green ribbon on the card is from my favorite dress from childhood. I still have the dress, but the ribbon sash needs to be replaced--SO---it MUST be used for card making.
5) The green primas are from RAKs the fuzzy flower is from Bazzill and a recent trip to an lss. I bought them to go with this paper, but I am still unsure of how to use them.
6) I used q-tips with the cotton pulled off as a blending tool. Hey, sometimes you just have to make do!
7) You probably stopped reading at 2 (if you started reading at all) but if you made it this far--Thank you!!

I read your story twice, do I get extra credit? I love the recycled ribbon, the gorgeous flower and the dp and the frog image has been very patient while waiting to see ink. Well done Jules, you sure found your MoJo today! (how much coffee did you have?)
