Mojo Monday...well, Thursday :)

I finally got around to making a card based off this week's Mojo Monday sketch! Nothing gets my creative juices flowing than a good sketch! Check out this week's sketch Mojo Monday. Try it out for yourself and see what kind of design you come up with. Would love to see a sample too so feel free to take a pic and send my way. I may just highlight it on this blog!


Here's this week's sketch:

 Here's my final product:

Stamping with Rach TIPS & TRICKS

1. heat emboss the flower for some extra pizazz

2. markers come in handy when you want to use a part of a stamp and not all of it. In the case of this card, I used the Wild Wasabi marker and coloured the "for you" part of the "Afterthoughts" stamp "Just for you"

3. to give the card some extra texture, I embossed the card base using the Square Lattice embossing folder
