Mojo Monday #238 & H2H

Got busy and missed last weeks Mojo Monday but this weeks sketch begged to be created!  So simple and fun.  Also, well popping around the inspiration blogs I saw this weeks Heart 2 Heart colour challenge which is so the Dotty for You papers.  Two challenges in one! Fun.

I decided to use my new Close To My Heart Cricut® Art Philosophy cartridge as much as possible on this card as I haven't had much of a chance to experiment with it yet.  I ended up only using a few images on this card but it did take awhile to decide which ones I wanted to try!

The size of the card became 4 x4 1/2 once I got the postage stamp squares cut out and of course I used the exclusive limited edition Dotty For You papers as they are just so bright and cheerful!

I used a few Just Blooms flowers inking them with Sunset and stamped the "Hello!" from the A Bowwow stamp set in Lagoon.  A bit of Startdust glitz glitter gel in the centre of the flower and it's ready for a friend.  So simple and fun. Enjoy.

Ariana and Delicate Wings...

Image
Working on cards for my monthly Card Club and I love to use "challenges" to help me focus (sometimes I have too many ideas and not enough paper!).  Challenges are not only helpful but also a lot of fun.
Products I used to make this cards are the very pretty Ariana Paper Packet, the sentiment is from the Joyful Birthday Stamp Set (B1419) and the current Petite Perks - Delicate Wings (ask me how you can get yours free!) for the stamped images. All stamping was done in Indian Corn Blue Ink and all products are from Close To My Heart.  Some of the challenges that inspired me for this card are:

Heart 2 Heart Challenges: Pantone Spring 2014 Color Challenge The challenge is to use one (or more) of the Pantone Spring 2014 colors on your project; only neutrals such as white, cream, tan, gray, or black may also be used. I feel the Ariana Colour palette and the Indian Corn Blue that I used for the stamping fall into the colour palette used in the Pantone Spring 2014 nicely.
