I found a few minutes to create this weekend....and had high hopes of entering the Mojo Monday #492 Challenge! I missed the deadline by a mere minute. If it were not for my slow internet connection out in the boonies, we might have made it! I was able to enter my link, but at the very last click, it locked me out! Bummer, it was still a nice sketch to play with, you just will not be seeing it in the gallery! Here is a look at the sketch my card is based on,
My card is created with the Dreamin Big paper packet from the Seasonal Expressions catalog. While I have used some of the floral prints on my card...there is a super cute bug side to the papers as well. I love that this paper pack is universal for boy and or girl projects! The Seasonal Expressions catalog is coming to a close at the end of this month. If you have any items on your wish list, I would suggest getting them now, as items are starting to sell out. Here is a peak of all of the papers included in the pack-
The thanks sentiment on my card, is actually a thin cut die, that I have cut multiple times. I adhered three layers of cardstock together. I then inked up the sentiment in Goldrush pigment ink and then clear embossed to give it a shiny raised image. While I love the monochromatic look of my card, the thanks just blended into the background as plain cardstock. The glossy surface makes it pop! The decorative strip behind my panel is a piece of goldrush cardstock that I embossed with a chevron embossing folder for added texture.
