Make A Wish


Happy Monday Blog Friends!! I have a quick card to share with you today. For the past several weeks I’ve been playing along with Mojo Monday and since I find that that works well for me, I’m at it again today. It really helps me break outside of my box and perhaps use things that I don’t normally use on a card. I pulled out some of my favorite muted K & Company paper and flowers and got started.  This is Mojo Monday 181 – what a pretty sketch!!


I was pretty true to the sketch and worked it up quite quickly this morning. I’m moving on to some “have to do” things, so this is a welcome break for me.  Off to get coffee and contemplate over my chore list!!  By the way, son’s birthday dinner last night was fabulous.  Sheesh, I still can’t believe he is 21. 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Printworks Sentiment
Paper: K & Company
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Back
Accessories: Prima Lace, Recollections Flowers, Pearls, Seam Binding, Spellbinders Doodleparts

I’ll be back tomorrow with something new!  Have a great start of the week!

    Hi Becca,
    What a refreshing spring card. I love the paper as well, such a pretty combination of patterns. What I love about you is how you incorporate textures and layering of different elements. Beautiful as always.
    Hugs and love,
