It's Monday, and you know what that means...another Mojo Monday sketch. The last Monday of the month always brings a sketch for either a circle card or a square card. I picked the square card for this one. Just click the sketch picture on the right to go straight to the Mojo Monday blog.I first embossed the Blushing Bride layer using the Elegant Bouquet Impression Folder (p. 214). I then added the Always Artichoke layer that I punched one long side out with the Eyelet Border Punch (p. 200). I then attached a strip of designer paper from the Springtime Vintage DSP (p. 15 in the Occasions Mini).
I really like the girl silhouette in the Easter Blossoms set (p. 17 - Occasions Mini), so much! She's so cute! Not only that, she's so easy to stamp. I just inked the stamp with Pear Pizzazz ink and stamped her. I also stamped the little square floral stamp in the set to the upper left corner. I then layered her onto some Pear Pizzazz card stock and attached her to the bottom right of the Blushing Bride layer.
The ribbon strip and bow are separate. I attached each end of the Victoria Crochet Trim (p. 190) strip to the back of the Blushing Bride layer. I then tied the other longer strip into a bow on the top. Since the bow is separate, I was able to slide it right where I wanted it. It's easier getting the bow to the go the direction you want it to by tying it on separately, too. After the ribbon was attached, I attached the whole thing to the River Rock square card.
The flower was die cut using the Fun Flowers Bigz L die from the Occasions Mini (p. 39). After die-cutting the layers (River Rock and Rose Red) I wanted, I embossed them with the Square Lattice Impressions Folder (p. 214). I then attached the layers together and attached them to the card, over the ribbon. I then attached a vanilla rose from the Vintage Flower Adornments (p. 15 in the Occasions Mini) with a Mini Glue Dot (p. 197). I then stamped the greeting onto River Rock card stock with Rose Red ink, and I punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch (p. 30 in the mini). I added two Stampin' Dimensionals (p. 197) to the right side of the greeting and Snail adhesive (p. 197) on the left side and attached it to the card.
