Double Embossed Mojo

Mojo Monday #252

I always enjoy working on the Mojo sketch... sometimes I don't complete the card until close to the end of the week.  I'm HAPPY to be posting my card on MONDAY!!   YAY!  (Well... I guess it IS Tuesday... because it's slightly after mid-night!  Bummer!!  Maybe next time!)

This card uses a double embossing technique.  By this I mean, that you ink the inside of your embossing folder with Versamark, run it through the Big Shot, and add embossing powder to your card stock.  Heat set.  I ran mine through a second time, making sure that I lined up the embossed cardstock exactly the way it went through the first time.  Reinked my folder again with Versamark and the second embossing, I used iridescent ice embossing powder.

Here's a close up picture of the iridescent ice embossing...
 
And here is a picture of the shabby chic bow.  This was done by pulling a center thread and bunching up the ribbon.  Adding a brad holds it all together. 


MOJO sketches take the guess work out of card making.  These sketches could also be used for scrapbooking as well.  What are you waiting for??  Go on over and get YOUR MOJO on!

Sometimes its the details that count...

I love being able to add the smallest of details, bringing a card to life!  I was playing around with the MOJO sketch and came up with this little beauty:

The paper daisies are fun to color and are still in the current catalog (pg. #175).  They come white which is nice because there are several ways you can color them. The smaller daisy was put in a small dish, and a drop of Cherry Cobbler reinker was added to the top, giving it that deep dark color that I was after.  Actually, it was a little TOO dark so I added water to it, and it softened to the color that I wanted.  To the colored water that I now have, I added the large daisy painting it a pretty shade of pink!  I heat dried them, because I was in a hurry to use them, and added some sponging to the edges of the large daisy.  Used some Gumball Green stitched ribbon for leaves, popped it all up on the 2 1/2 inch circle punch, layered it with a larger scallop die cutting it out with the Big Shot (gosh, I love that thing!!).  Paired with some textured cardstock and DSP, you have yourself a great card to give to someone special!
