Freshly Made Vintage

I'm wide awake when I should be sleeping and that means I may ramble away here on my blog. No telling where that could lead! Life is very busy right now and I wake up with my mind swirling of things to do and lists, and wondering how I'll get them all done.

These are happy things and what needs to get done DOES get completed. The rest I let go! Tonight I could not let go of blogging. This card was just begging me to get up out of my nice warm bed and show it to you!

I made it the day my pre-order came using the set for Sale-A-Bration called Fresh Vintage. Who can resist a pretty floral spray and flower images repeated on a square sized perfectly for the Postage Stamp punch? I used markers to ink most of the image, but used Versamarker on the larger flowers so that I could emboss them with Tangerine Tango EP (also used on the square tag.)

I know the flowers are upside down, hope that doesn't bother you! I was using a sketch (from Mojo Monday 221) and I sensed better balance with the heavier flower hanging down. I added rhinestone jewels to adorn this flower as the focal point.

This card never got posted to the MOJO challenge. But THIS one from last week and THIS one from  awhile back were chosen as Finalists in the MOJO Contests. There are so many talented artists and entries, I am delighted that my cards were picked!

As always, I like sharing my creations with you. After I list the supplies, I think I'll get right back to sleep. No more lists until morning!

Gorgeous card, and I think it would look funny if you had the flowers right way around because the balance would indeed be off. This is just right, as baby bear says!

I love this circle card! Your ribbon placement in pool party looks fantastic! I agree, very balanced with the flower "upside down!"
