Mojo Play Date...

Hiya,

I combined this week's Mojo sketch with the Play Date colour story...

 


I never seem to have enough anniversary cards when I need them so I'm trying to make more. The colours in the Play Date pic reminded me of some Kaisercraft papers I have in my stash so I took them out and ended up with this:


The sentiment is from Verve's Small Phrases set - stamped and then punched out and layered with with circle punches. The doily was cut with an MFT die from Vintage Cream card. I added some Kaisercraft lace & flower together with some striped ribbon from SU. A few pearls finished things off...

Thanks for stopping by!

Waltzing Birthday Throwdown...

Hiya,

Today is a Bank Holiday in the UK so I had a bit of time to play along with the Colour Throwdown challenge as well as the Waltzingmouse sketch...

 

I dug out some old K&Co papers that I haven't used in ages and found some that matched these colours nicely (in the process I realised {once again} that I have WAY too much dsp in my stash... But it won't stop me buying more...{grin!}). Here's what I ended up with:


I used a few WMS sets on this - Labels 2, Ovals and Eat Cake (for the sentiment). The sketch is under there somewhere... I just got a bit carried away with layers and embellies lol! The centre piece was created using a Labels 2 shape, then a fancy tag cut with Basic Grey card, then an oval stamped with a coordinating stamp using Charcoal ink, then a So Saffron scalloped oval and finally a Whisper White oval with the sentiment stamped in Taken with Teal. I added some So Saffron ribbon and some PTI buttons with a punched butterfly to finish.

Thanks for stopping by!
