It’s been ages since I’ve played a challenge. I’ve had a lot of specific projects on my inspiration board and there wasn’t room for anything else. Last night I finally had a chance to browse through some of my favorite blogs – talk about a pleasure! – and when I got to Mojo Monday I decided I’d done enough looking and headed up for some ink-to-the-paper stamping!
There’s a lot going on here, so bear with me:
- Circle Circus and Fabulous Phrases stamp sets
- Cornelli Lace Jumbo Stampin’ Around Wheel
- Whisper White, Real Red and Basic Black card stock
- Real Red and Basic Black Classic ink pads
- Real Red 1/8″ taffeta and 5/8″ satin ribbon; Basic Black 5/8″ satin ribbon
- 1 3/4″ Circle, Modern Label and Scallop Edge Border punches
- Big Shot and the Square Lattice and Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folders
- a small hand-held circle punch and Stampin’ Dimensionals
I’m sure I forgot to list something!
I’ll tell you the truth: that greeting is adhered with Dotto repositionable adhesive. I’m not certain I like it, but time will tell. The stamped Real Red image from Circle Circus is hand cut (gasp! I know…) because I wanted it to fit Just So on the black circle. It had to be done. I used tiny black circles of cardstock for the faux brads on the sentiment because the real thing overwhelmed the project. There are a lot of discarded bits and pieces on my craft table left over from this project, but it was satisfying to finish.
I didn’t buy Circle Circus when it was released as a preview set a year or two ago. Because it was a sneak peak, there were Circle Circus cards everywhere and I grew weary of it. I finally gave in and bought it with this year’s new catalog because I saw something really creative and had a brilliant inspiration to make that idea better. (It’s coming, it’s just not done yet – Mojo Monday got in the way.) I’m glad it’s on my shelf now. You’ll see it again soon.
Trendy and terrific! Love the modern feel to this. Thanks for playing Mojo Monday! 🙂
