Elizabeth Mojo

I did a little stamping yesterday. Things were going a little slow in the creative department for a sketch. Do you ever have that happen? So, I decided I would take my lead from someone else. I went to the Mojo Monday Sketch for this week's inspiration.  

For the base, I used Basic Black and then layered on some Fine Print DSP. I then cut out a scallop circle with the Scallop Circle #2 die with my Big Shot and another piece of Fine Print DSP. I distressed the circle by wading it into a ball and flatting it out and then I sponged the edges of both of these using Soft Suede ink. For my focal point I used the lovely Elizabeth stamp, which you can get for FREE during Sale-A-Bration, in Basic Black ink on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock. I then stamped it again on Very Vanilla and once more of Cherry Cobbler. I then stamped my greeting from Grateful Greetings in the center of the Very Vanilla layer & I cut out the centers of the last two piece and layered them together on the base layer using dimensionals. Then I distress the edges of the Basic Black layer and the Very Vanilla layered and sponged them with Soft Suede ink. Did you notice the shade of the ribbon and the button? There isn't a Cherry Cobble Satin Ribbon or button so I used Real Red and used some Soft Suede ink on the ribbon to "dirty" it up a bit. I just the same sponge I had for distressing the card stock. Since it is water-based ink, I couldn't use that on my plastic button, so I used a muddy brown colored sharpie on it just like I would on my rhinestones or pearls. I then tied my ribbon around and mounted my focal point with some dimensionals. There you have it. My youngest son was so sweet. When he saw my finished card, he said, "Wow mom, that card looks like it should be in a magazine." He's a keeper!

I just wanted to drop you a quick note, to let you know that I love your card! I really like the vintage feel to your card. And the red (cherry cobbler) really gives the card a pop of color!
