Flutterby challenge

Hi Everyone. Hope you are having a really great day. Don't forget to enter my blog candy giveaway. You can find the link here Today I am going to share with you a bright and cheery card I created using a previous Card Patterns sketch. I'm really enjoying the coloring part of stamps. It is super therapeutic. The image is from the same About Art Accents plate I used in the emboss resist card and I just love it. Leave a comment and tell me what ya think.
Buttons are starting to be one of my favorite embellishments to use on a card. They really give dimension and I think they are quite playful. All of these buttons were found in my moms laundry room, the last time I was visiting, so thank you mom *hugs*. For the background paper where the image was stamped, I used Perfect Medium and then a few different colors of chalk. It really made that image come alive and chalk is pretty fun to play with. Next card you make, try some chalk techniques.

Time for this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch And Flourishes Challenge

This weeks Mojo Monday Card was a hoot to make. I also used this for the flourishes challenge, which was to use flowers.I switched it up a little by putting a few things on the angle, but I wanted to see if a little change would make a big impact. Here is this weeks sketch challenge. For the colors of this card I chose Pixy Pink, Not Quite Navy, and Always Artichoke. I also used a piece of mattestack from the Rock Star DCWV. I decided to give a decorative edge to the card this time, so used my purple cow trimmer to do that. I love this 2 in 1 trimmer with the guillotine and paper trimmer in one. But me thinks I have to get a wee cutter for quick fixes.
I used a few different stamps for the card. The Love saying from Dreams du Jour, a flourish from Autumn Leaves and a medallion stamp that I sprinkled Perfect Pearls on form the background of the Sentiment stamp. I really like the effect that this has. I took my first stab at truly coloring an image using markers and blenders and I really am quite smitten with how that sweet flower turned out. What do you think? Also for the two stripes on each side of the design, I purchased this really cool metal embossed plate on my last trip south. I try to find the maker for you. Used alcohol ink to give it a green tint.
Lastly I used a few Prima flowers folded in half and secured them to the card with a pretty square ice brad in teal. Added 3 square buttons to give the card balance and TADDA!!!! My Mojo Monday card is complete
Hope you enjoyed looking at the card and if you haven't taken a Mojo Challenge...What are you waiting for?
Happy Crafting
