MOJO Monday/ MOJO#306 "Shabby Card"

Wow I haven't played along in a long while so I decided last night while gazing upon Marion Smith's new digital printables "Scarlet" which you can find at www.marionsmithdesigns.com

a card was a must to create and little shabby and pink!

So along with the digital prints and a Die~Namites Die "Bamboo Sticks" (www.die~namites.com).

I started adding gesso/stucco with mask design...Distressing all the edges and white washing all the papers...to give a softness to the papers for the card.

I didn't have a scallop punch available big enough for what I needed I turned to my CTMH Cricut Art Philosopy and Artiste Cartridges...added a pretty little Prima flower and leaves....sprayed a fine mist of Perfect Pearls Mists: blue patina!!!

Here are some close ups of the digital papers and die-bamboo sticks....just love all the texture!

Happy Memorial Day

To start the celebration for Memorial Day I created this adorable card, card base is 7x6 fold in half, stamp script stamp in black ink in the upper center of card. I used the CTMH SOTM Pinwheel stamp set that you can still purchase until the end of this month May 31st for only $5.00 when you spend $50.00 in CTMH products which you can purchase here. I used pacifica blue ink and ruby ink to create the pinwheel added a gem. Pop up the pinwheel to give some depth of movement on card, then stamp the sentiment twice, one in ruby ink on the card base and then one on a piece of scrap and cut out the "celebrate" into a banner pennant shape popped it up to give movement.

A Very Merry Christmas: MOJO Monday #264

A Snowflake, Christmas greetings and MOJO Monday Challenge # 264 = a great way to start off the Holiday Season. With a North Eastern Storm to boot, I might be stuck home for a few days to craft out the storm.

 I have just started taken part in the challenges over at MOJO Monday blog, and I am really enjoying the challenge sketches and inspiration from all the entries. Most of this card was created with pieces and parts of leftovers, a little snip here and some inking to create this little beauty...

 Here is the side view of the snowflake...everything on this card is made with Close To My Heart products which you can purchase on my website www.peggyleebaker.ctmh.com except for the vintage mother of pearl button that adorns the center of the snowflake and a little glimmer mist.
