I know you won't be surprised to know that today's card began with the MOJO Monday Sketch. I think you will laugh when I tell you my first inclinations were to follow the bold lines and shapes of the sketch to make a masculine card. NOT!
Here are some girly doilies and lace, just for you. Pearls and glitter too!
The sketch had a vertical accent and I began with the idea of using the Lace Ribbon Border punch threaded with ribbon. Rifling through my vast collection of designer papers I hit upon the Flirtacious Specialty papers, and then the process took off.
Along the way I added a third pattern of paper just so I could play along with The Paper Players Challenge to use 3 patterns of paper, 2 different ribbons, and at least one punch. Check. Check. Two punches. Good. The card was made and assembled completely when I noticed the last challenge requirement was a sprinkling of glitter. I took that quite literally! I had already added the pearls, but I masked the card and sprayed the punched Lace Ribbon strip with spray adhesive. Literally - I added a sprinkling of glitter that covers the ribbon too! You can see the sparkly detail if you enlarge the photo.
I'm off now to have a busy day, beginning with going to vote and then walking Josie, and then....well, I'll let you guess the rest! If you live near Fayetteville, Raeford, or Hope Mills, NC, I'd love to have you join us for my Make and Take Tuesday this afternoon. Contact me if you'd like to stamp with me!
