MOJO203

Two Posts today/. I decided to try this week's sketch at MOJO Monday. This is what I came up with.

SUPPLIES:
Ink: Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Versamark
Paper: Pear Pizazz, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Paisley Petals
Stamps: Kindness Matters, Curly Cute, Creative Elements

Mojo Monday Sketch 179

My first time completing a Mojo Monday Sketch on the week of the sketch. I will try to play each week and challenge myself to use all my new stuff. Sorry for the poor quality photo. I took this at night. The Stamp used can be yours free with a $60 purchase.

Stamps: So Happy for You (2011 SAB)
Ink: More Mustard, Concord Crush, Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Old Olive
Paper: More Mustard, Concord Crush, Level 1 Hostess In-color DSP, Old Olive
Accessories: Fire Rhinestone Brads, Fun Flowers Big Shot Die, paper crimper

Rubber Inkspiration Tips:

• Remove the metal part from the brads and you have instant Jewels.
• Fold Old Olive paper and cut free hand leaves. While paper is folded, run through paper crimper on an angle to create leave veins. Ink leaves with sponge and old olive ink for added depth.
• I nked whisper white card stock for the flowers to get the color and variation I was looking for.
• Use bone folder to curl paper flowers to make them dimensional with some added texture.

Baja Birthday

I used a Mojo Monday sketch from July 2010 with the Friends Never Fade Stamp Set. This card features using markers directly on the rubber. This technique is great to obtain multi-colored images. I pulled the colors from the Greenhouse Gala DSP. I love this cute retro print.

Stamps: Friends Never Fade, Create a Cup cake
 Ink: Pear Pizazz, peach parfait, Poppy parade, Daffodil Delight
Paper: Greenhouse Gala, Baja Breeze, Dafodil Delight, Early Espresso, Poppy Parade
Tools: 1 1/4' square, 1 3/8' square, Word window, Modern Label

Rubber Inkspiration Tips:

• Color images using the brush tip of the marker, starting with the lightest color first.
• Stamp first, then Punch. Use your punch upside down to make a "window" and "crop" your image.
