Hello blog friends!  Ah, much better today, I’m ready to start a new week and hope you are too!!  What better way to start than Mojo Monday?  Working with sketch Mojo 197 was an easy one!   I love square cards and find that’s what I do when I’m crunched for time and have to get.it.done.  I inked up two different Waltzingmouse Stamps sets to finish up my card; Words of Wisdom and Very Vintage Labels No 2.  I initially thought the card would be heavy on the left side, but I think the design paper balances it out a little bit.  (By the way, many of you have asked me about this design paper.  It’s an embossed paper that was put out by K & Co and I believe it is discontinued.  There’s a small chance that it’s in one of their collections, but I don’t know that for sure.  This particular paper is a Brenda Walton paper called Brianna.  I am down to my last sheet so if anyone happens to find it, please let me know, lol!!).

After getting the card size set and laying down a couple of mat layers, I cut/embossed my Waltzingmouse image with Spellbinders Labels Two.  Since I wanted a frame, I used Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG to cut the frame then used Spellbinders Classic Ovals SM for my sentiment.  I just love frames because they’re an interesting element.  It’s a nifty way to carry the color  from your background across your card!  From there I just embellished to match the sketch using seam binding with a peg bow and a fabulous vintage button as well as  a felt flower from my leftovers basket.  I did a tutorial on felt flowers back in January – you can find it HERE.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – Words of Wisdom, Very Vintage Labels No. 2
Paper:  K & Co, Bazzill
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, Versacolor – Bamboo, Memento Bamboo Leaves
Accessories: Seam Binding, Felt Flower, Spellbinders Labels Two, Spellbinders Classic Ovals SM, Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG, Pearl, Pearl Pick, JBH Vintage Button, MS Leaf Punch, Clear Embossing Powder, Peg Bow Maker

Have a great week!!  See you soon :-)

    Oh, what a lovely card! You always use such beautiful papers on your cards. I really love how you cut out the oval, and put your sentiment on a smaller size oval inside the label. Such a simple thing – but, it adds so much to your design. Thank you for so generously sharing your talent with us. It really inspires us.ReplyCancel

    Hey Becca, I love your card, the labels die is grand, and the sentiment too. Sweet an straight to the point! I’ll bet you’ve been trying to figure out what my comments mean…I just discovered that I should have been commenting above the picture, not below it! lol I’ve got it now though! lol

    Hi Becca – your card is stunning. I love the soft colors. I am a new follower so I am sure you have answered this question. Can you please tell me where you purchase your pins. I have looked at local stores, but to no avail. Would you please share your source. Thank You.

    Very nice card Becca. By the way, I have tried the crocheted flowers and love making them. So far I have one too large for a card but would make a nice broach and the other is pretty mucha good size. Thanks for all the tips.ReplyCancel

  • deb vandersteegJune 27, 2011 - 10:57 am

    Hi Becca,
    I love your card. It is such a challenge for me to make a card with just a sentiment but you are such an inspiration. Your sentiment cards are always so beautifully elegant. Thanks for everything you do girlie.

    Have a beautiful day.
    Hugs,
    DebReplyCancel

    All I can say is “WOW! What a lovely card. You’ve got all my favourite elements on it. The Bow (with bling) knocks my socks off every time, the stick pin which always cranks a card up a few notches in my book, the frame is fabulous, the sentiment, and the oh so delightful paper. It’s precious.ReplyCancel
